Amazing news!

Here we are again ... a few weeks later ... still enjoying the English summer (when the sun decides to shine!!) ... Abigail is a big fan of going to the park ... especially the swings and the slide ... here's a little photo of her cheeky little face peering round the climbing frame when we visited her Auntie Pippa! We feel really privileged that part of our role with MAF during our support raising time is to travel around the country meeting up with friends and family ... what other job allows you time to do that?! Given that we won't be based in the UK for at least the next 11 years we're really enjoying this opportunity to see everyone! (Below some friends we met up with last Saturday!) This coming weekend we're heading back to Dorset to catch up with friends down there one last time and then driving onto Birmingham ... the following week we're hoping to go to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Sheffield ... stopping off at various different places, to and from each trip!! It's taking quite a bit of planning ... trying to get everyone in the right place at the right time ... especially because people are away a lot over the summer ... but as you can see we have the brains of the family on the case!! (... and no, we're not referring to Mark!!)
So ... the amazing news ... (amazing because you're still reading ... and we haven't yet told you what it is!!). We found out this morning that at the half-way point in our support raising ... we have already reached 74% of our minimum target ... it's all going to plan!! Thank you again to everyone for your commitment to support us ... only 26% to go!!
