Cali / SA Uppiedate and Christmas Wishes

**Ally Cat's Mommy** · 12-17-2006, 12:55 PM

I have just returned from a fabulous 3 week holiday in South Africa. Cali is coming on in leaps and bounds - she is now enjoying her solids, and is pushing up on her arms and "reversing" around the room - I am sure eventually she will work out how to move forward!!

Cali and I are back in Bahrain for Christmas, and will be making our move to Lagos in early January. Cameron and Warren were due to fly in on the 15th, but due to meetings, flights etc have had to postpone their trip - Cameron turned 18 on the 16th December, and it was very hard to spend this landmark birthday without him. Right now I am just looking forward (and hoping) that they get back here in time for Christmas, and we will take next year's challenges as they arise.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone here on Pet Talk a wonderful Happy Christmas, and a Blessed and Peaceful 2007. 2006 has been a tumultuous year for many of us - I hope that during 2007 we will all find the health, peace and happiness we seek. Thanks too for all your support through this difficult time in my life - you have supported me and helped me through my darkest hours, and I send my love and thanks to my PT Family!

Here are a few pics from our trip to SA:

Hello and welcome back from your little vacation. I'm so glad your
time away was relaxing & pleasant. You have a very handsome family
and I'm sure it will be wonderful to have everyone together again.

As for that baby cali, she is still the most angelic looking child I've seen
in a long while. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Julie, thanks for the update.

You have a beautiful family and I'm glad that you were finally able to spend some quality time together.

Little Cali is such a cutie pie and is growing up so fast. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year too. May your move also go smoothly.
