On a Happy Hilltop: September 2008

(I went to post this blog three weeks ago and all the text was deleted. So think of 6this post as under construction)

Sorry we only seem to be averaging one blog a month, but I don’t have Internet and have to make an event of it. Subsequently when I blog they are Huge!!! But I have two or thre

e blogs that will all be coming up in the next couple of days so you will get a plethora of Hill information!

We are all doing well, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Luke is doing much much better. What, you say? I didn’t know anything was wrong. Well we have had a rough last month with Luke’s health. But he is doing marvelous! It was a stressful few weeks with lots of new problems, concerns and tests. Ultimately he has been diagnosed with severe childhood asthma and sub-clinical hypo-thyroidism and we are pleased with everything. We had a few more blood tests yesterday and he has to take a few medications morning and night but other than that he is perfect. We are so so grateful and feel like everything is looking up. He is Happy and Healthy just look at that smile!

And with Andrew working two jobs, school and an internship we had both been under quite a bit of stress. So when Andrew finished this semester (and with amazing grades{I am so proud of him}) we talked it over and decided we needed to take a rest and get away from it all.

Off to Idaho

We took off an entire week and decided to go to Idaho to visit my family. One of the best parts of this idea was that we had numerous built in baby sitters who fighted over who got to hold the Baby!

The first few days we relaxed. Andrew had been given a set golf clubs and we spent a couple of windy afternoons at the driving range. This was my first time ever hitting a golf ball and I hit it the very first time.

Luke’s first trip to the Cabin

On our way back from the Playmill we were able to stop at my Cabin in Island Park. The Cabin is a very special place for my family. So obviously Luke's trip to the cabin was an important experience so Luke wore his BYU cougars onesie in honor of the occasion. It was beautiful but by far the best part was for Luke to spend time with his Great Grandpa and Great Grandma!
