The past week has been a bit challenging for the O’Briens. Julian’s dad collapsed and broke his hip, which means we’ve spent the weekend with him in the Launceston General Hospital. We’re nervously waiting this morning to see how his operation goes.
Our trip to Launceston brought with it a few wins though:
- Outside the window of our accommodation we saw these two rather lazy rabbits. The girls were amazed at how close they were able to get to them. Ella piped up to ask: “How come we always get to meet the real Santa Claus but we never meet the real Easter Bunny?’’ Umm….
- To give Julian’s brother a break, the girls and I took him to the Launceston Museum yesterday while Julian spent some time with his dad. Inside the museum the girls were able to see an early model aeroplane. Holly said: “I don’t want to go in that plane, because it doesn’t have seat belts’’. Looking at the metal rings for tyres and flimsy wings, I wasn’t so concerned about whether it had seat belts or not.
OK, now onto the linky…

Hope all goes well Kellie, with Julian’s Dad….now days they are able to fix broken hips easier, hoping that Julian’s Dad will be healed and up in no time xxx

Thanks Lisa. He’s doing really well. There were some high risks associated with the surgery, but it went great. Such a huge relief!

So sorry to hear about Julian’s dad. Praying he has a swift recovery and that he isn’t in too much pain. x
Kellie O'Brien says
Thanks Bec. His pain threshold is just incredible. We’ve barely seen him flinch during the entire process. The surgery went incredibly well, so now it’s just the long road to recovery!
