Shop Shop Shop



We woke this morning, no therapy today at the hospital as it's the weekend, but we did our stretches and Libby walked to the bathroom on her frame, her quad muscles were aching from yesterdays therapy, but apart from that all was good. Her incision on her back has heeled really nicely and looks very neat. Her leg incisions still look a bit raw but they also look like they are healing nicely.

After a call from Nanny Lee, MSN with Nanny Sophie and MSN with Daddy (who told me he was being good???), we set off for a shopping day. Libby & Ben had promised to be good and after yesterday, Ben really had to make some effort. Surprisingly we had a very pleasant day shopping, they both behaved extremely well and we even managed to go to another shopping centre on our way back - with the bribe of a Ben & Jerry's ice cream! We came home with a few bags, Libby got herself an outfit for $6.51 in a sale, Ben got himself some Zhu Zhu pets and room (just what we need to bring home, the hospital had already given us enough of the stuff, now I've got to pack it!). Uncle Karl got some bits that he wanted and I got some jeans (good job Dave doesn't do our banking) and shoes - Mum, you would have loved this shoe shop, I could have spent hours in there. Anyway Dave - I didn't get much!!!!!

In the evening, Uncle Karl treated us to a meal at the Cheesecake factory, which finished off the day nicely and as you can see Libby & Ben thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
