Abby on her firs day of 6th grade at Lone Tree Elementary!
Emma on her first day of 8th grade Sierra Middle School

I planned to have wonderful new photos of us from the mountains, going down the alpine slides, but instead, we had more of a subdued weekend here at the Bridgewater house. Poor Abby has some sort of 'virus' or flu. Her nose is running, her throat hurts and she has had a headache on and off. Poor girl. I hate that for her! We took her into the doctor to make sure she does have strep, and that was negative.

Chris and I have been riding our bikes a lot here lately. We are trying to get into shape. We would like to do some of the longer mountain rides come next spring... I don't know... We are looking for a new bike for me, more of a road bike.

The girls are LOVING school! Abby loves her new school and is making lots of friends. She is actually learning something, too, from the sound of things. Emma is loving her last year of middle school. She is on the news magazine and is looking forward to a trip to Washington DC in November. Lucky girl! She loves being part of the "harder" team this year and Chris and I are already looking ahead to high school and which direction we should go with Emma!
