Parked in October now

Ok, I have been "Parked on Labor Day" for just a bit. I have been a little frustrated with this new blog format. It is difficult, for me, to get it to do what I want. I need a class, or a tutor, or SOMETHING! However, why should my updating suffer just because my photos are not where I want them, right?

We are doing well! Busy as always! We have enjoyed the fall here in Colorado taking a little time to take in the wonderful fall colors! They really were stunning! We had a great family day winding through the highways in the Rockies! We ended up in Estes Park where we enjoyed the elk in rut, a noise that is like no other, saltwater taffy and a cheese burger at Penelope's.

The girls are doing well! Abby continues to love her new school. She is really thriving, and we think we made an excellent decision in moving her. She LOVES driving to school with Mom every day, and has made many new friends. She is able to get some extra help, and we are really seeing her make some strides with all of that and the tutoring she is doing 3 times a week.

Emma is doing great in 8th grade. Parent/teacher conferences were wonderful. Her teachers really like her and she is on a team that expects a lot out of their students, which is excellent for Emma. Emma is busy applying for private high school and is excited about the prospects that brings for her.

We have several appointments coming up in the next month for Abby. She is going to see a Orthopedic Surgeon to check out her feet and ankles. Her feet are a long standing problem, her ankles are, well I don't know. I guess that is why we are going.

We have our last every 2 month oncology appointment. It was stretched out to 3 months, due to Abby's other doctors appointment, but she is doing well. We are ready to stretch things out a bit more.

We are watching the Rockies in post season. All of the Bridgewater's are pretty excited about that. We would like to see them move on along to the next level of the play offs!

We are excited to get through this next week. After that BOTH the girls are on fall break, Abby started her 2 week fall break last friday, and Chris and I are on VACATION! I think we are going to do a 'staycation' here in Colorado, enjoying our lovely state! We are pretty excited!!

We hope you are enjoying your fall! Drop us a line and let us know what you are doing!
