We went camping in a nearby canyon the weekend before school started to end the summer off right. Ellie loved being outside! I took her to my mom's at night because the higher altitude was hard on her little heart and she needed a break. The day this photo was taken, I had taken her to a new GI doctor. Someone upstairs was mindful of us because her appointment scheduled for over 2 months out got rescheduled for the Friday we were camping. We couldn't believe that she could get in so soon! It turns out that the doctor's son was also born with a heart defect so she knows what works for these little ones. She put Ellie on a new medication and switched her to a normal formula (she had been getting a pre-digested, hypoallergenic formula). The retching has almost disappeared and Ellie is happier than ever! We're moving forward finally!!!
Getting ready for bed!
It got really cold at night.
Some of our gang trying to stay still long enough to get a picture.
First day of Middle School--yikes!!!
What is it with 5th grade boys and their faces?
My second grader. Our school had to add portables to accomodate the switch to a traditional school year (yay!!!). She is sooo excited to be in one of the portables.

Yay!!! I am so glad to hear Ellie is moving forward. What good news.
I have been thinking about Bridger's parents. How are they holding up?
Congratulations on Ellie's step forward. Joshua is doing well. He still seems small, but he looks good.
Have a great day!! Sarah
