Good evening! Nice to see others having a go! Bring it on!!
Hope you are all ok, and are having a good weekend. Hope Melissa had a good birthday, so so so sorry we forgot, we shall find an extra special Christmas one instead. Sorry Melissa :(
Just a quick blog this time, to let you know that Cerys had a transfusion yesterday, as her blood count had gone down again when it was checked on Thursday. She was a little star throughout, and dealt with it all much better than I would have, and I am so so so proud of her. She's also booked in for another bone marrow extraction on the 10th of September, which will look for any changes since the last one. She will only have to be in for the day, so we shall be home in the evening all being well.
SO at the moment we are ok! Iwan was a bit clingy having spent a couple of days without us, but they have both had a lovely play today. We did go looking for jigsaws (dont ask!!!) but couldn't find any in Bangor....kids still play with jigsaws dont they???? WIll have to think further afield I think, and there may well be a trip to Toys R Us coming up!!!
We are being visited by Graham and Emma and the kids tomorrow, so I'm sure there'll be some pics (couldn't bring myself to take any pics yesterday, although I must take one of a drawing she did with her left hand, becasue her right one was bandaged up........remind me!!!) Now not ony does she have a new uniform and bag to start school with on Tuesday, but she has a new set of red blood cells!! Not many kids can say that can they?!!
So really is a quick off me now, still shattered after a long long day at the hospital yesterday. Will post some pics soon, cuddles to all.

Long time no speak!!
Well things have been fairly quiet and low key here, but it's about time I updated! We are all ok, Cerys was back at the hospital last week, and unfortunately her blood count had dropped again, so we have to go back on Thursday to have another blood test, and if it's not improved, then she will have another transfusion, and we will look at doing another analysis of the bone marrow. They are still clueless as to what's wrong, but at least they're keeping an eye on her. It's a difficult time, but Cerys is being the star at the moment, taking it all in her stride, and keeping the rest of us going! Iwan is being good too, and looking out for his big sister. Here's the latest picture from Alder Hey. 
We've just had Grandma down for another weekend, she wanted to have another look at the Bungalow she's spotted, and she took Dafydd with her to see what he thougt, and she is quite keen. It all hangs now on selling Oxford Drive though, so watch this space!!! Christine and Alan came with her, but we put them all to good use and the kids had a whale of a time with them...... 
And finally we had a day out at a fun day organised in aid of the Lifeboat in Beaumaris, which the kids enjoyed. Fish and chips, folloed by ice cream, and Cerys and Jon took a boat ride round to see the seals and puffins on Puffin Island. 
Lastly, here's a bedtime story for you....Cerys Style!!!
So that's all from quiet Brynsiencyn at the moment. We are hopeing all is well on Thursday, and Cerys should be starting BIG school on Tuesday, OH MY GOD!!!! She is as excited as anything, but it may be the last straw for my nerves!!!! We will be sure to post a pic of her in her new uniform, and she can tell you all about it. Kisses to all, big hugs, hopefully in person really soon. Melanie xxx

Lazy Sunday....
Good Afternoon, Hope we find you all well. It is Sunday afternoon, and Jon has taken the kids to the park, so I have two minutes to update a few things!
Grandma arrived safely on Friday, and I think she bought a bit of sun with her. She also told us you had had some bad news, and Dan must have had quite a fright, so we were all thinking of you, and sending our sympathies. Hope Dan will feel better soon, big cuddles from Anglesey.
We spent part of Friday afternoon decorating Ginerbread people, and Cerys really took to it........
I've put this pic in of Cerys's Ginerbread Lady, because I was tickled by the eyelashes she has put!
Yesterday we went to a Viking Fstival, that runs annually in a town on the south of the Island, Amlwch. We had Sally's daughter with us too, and we had such a fab time. It was so good, I would recommend it to anyone! It was very cleverly thought out, they had set up a small village, and we got to see a re-enactment of a battle and everything. I thought the girls may be slightly frightened with the shouting and scrapping, but turns out they absolutely loved it!!! They screamed all sorts at them, and cheered when they "died" and everything, worrying, but they enjoyed it! It went on all day, and late itno the evening, but Cerys was shattered and starting to look slightly pale, so we went for a fish and chip supper, then had a good rest! It's a shame we missed the evening, they were burning a boat and had some firworks, but there's our excuse for going back next year!! Here are some pics.....
Some scarey Vikings...(the girls were too cautious to have their pics taken alongside them at this point!)
An even scarier looking bunch..
Here's the battle....They narrated it all bilingually, so everyone could follow the story.
So that's it for us for this week. We are hoping to have a quieter week this week because last week was very busy!! Really hope you are ok, and we'll see you soon.
