Ouch

Our first crash, its the worst feeling when you see them fall and are never too sure what you are going to find when you get them up, luckily just a graze to the face and a few teeth marks inside of her mouth, I was hoping Eva was going to take after Karen and not me on the accident prone stakes but maybe not, oh well no long lasting damage but a note to watch the downhills for us both.

It looks A LOT worse than the photo honest or is that just through my slightly adjusted lenses??!!

A few happy snaps.

My turn

I hoped that we could have a break from doctors and hospitals, just a little over it over the last couple of years, now its my turn but I am sure Eva will look after me while I recuperate and then that will be it for a while, fingers crossed.

I had thought there was something wrong with my knee, the doctor said no its just a ligament strain, the physio proceeded to agree and take my money and eventually I bypassed them and went to the orthopedic surgeon, my cartilage is shot, this running caper keeps me sane, keeps me skinny and gives me enough time to be mum and dad but my body seems to not be so cooperative, never mind I will have to come up with plan B.

As I know you will all be feeling sorry for me put the money you were going to spend on a card and flowers into a cash gift instead, thanks in advance :-)

Off to Auckland on Thursday to do the coastal classic which should be a truck load of fun, oh sorry for you land lovers that is a a yacht race from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, Gran is looking after Eva so should be a blast.

Eva is becoming more and more a mini Karen, looks, argumentative, attitude, strong, stubborn, feisty, cute, mmmmm the next 20 years should be a heap of fun, NOT.

The rest of the month is going to be away in the boat as much as possible depending on how well my knee bounces back and the first weekend of November is a trip to Auckland to watch my brother Mark race his car at Pukekohoe, looking forward to summer, fish, sea, sand and adventures.

About Time

Yes it has finally happened, this video will be usable to Eva's 21st for sure, it has taken a while but at the ripe old age of 19 months its official Eva can walk, I admit to being more than just a little proud.

I am sure of the coming week there will be more than a few bumps and bruises but at least Eva's knees get a chance to recover.
