Science Fair

This year the kids were given the option to do a science fair project with/without a friend.  Kate and Max opted in as PARTNERS (win for Mom)! Their project had to do with Type 1 Diabetes using their little sister as a subject (Ha)!  I was thrilled that they finished and felt that they really worked hard and well together - mission accomplished!  
They came home yesterday to tell me they made it to the Top 10 (out of 73 projects entered). 😱 Final results were revealed this morning in an assembly with all their peers following brief explanations by each finalist....😭
First Place Overall!

A New Day...A New Pump

After four years with our Animas One-Touch insulin pump, we have moved on!  It is was a hard decision (it took us a year to decide) with lots of support and input from various sources, we finally made the leap, got trained and started using the Tandem t-slim insulin pump.  It is pretty awesome with integrated Dexcom technology, shutting off when Anna goes low,🙌, touch screen (fancy), smaller and smarter - all sorts of bells and whistles! Anna already noticed it takes less time at school. 💃💃💃

Popper Fun

The kids spent hours chasing, strategizing, and shooting these poppers all over the place.
