Slow road to recovery ... but we're full steam ahead now!

Having a 48 hour bug is not great ... we said in our last entry that we were feeling a lot better ... but it took another whole week to get back to 100% ... very frustrating!! We're pleased to say that Mark never did succumb to the lurgy ... however we did end up sharing it with Jenny's mum, Auntie Betty next door and Mark's sister ... oops ... sorry!!!

Since then we've been back on the case ... and catching up with more friends and family ... above is a photo of a group of good friends that Jenny has known for 15 years ... thank you to Tim and Anna for having a BBQ so we could all get together and catch up for the afternoon!

We also made a trip to the MAF UK office in Folkestone last week ... and had a chance to meet more of the UK based staff who we've been busy emailing and speaking to on the phone over the last few months! (we forgot to take any photos of that day ... even though we had our camera with us!!! ... oops!)

The final stage of our application process to MAF was a medical up at Interhealth in London which we had at the beginning of this week ... it's Abigail's second trip up to the 'big smoke' and we took the opportunity to walk along the Thames afterwards and take some photos with her by some of the tourist spots ... (for those of you non-Brits reading this ... the first photo is Mark & Abigail with Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament behind and the second is Jenny & Abigail right under the London Eye!)

Abigail has been doing really well with her walking over the last couple of weeks ... and with some early Birthday money she received last week we took her to get measured for her first pair of proper shoes!! She's growing in confidence every day ... and we can see that she won't be relying on us for much longer to get from A to B on her feet!
