The Burlingames

At the beginning of July, the boys and I took a trip to Sioux Falls. We visited friends of mine from my college days. It was a jam packed few days, but so much fun! We went to a play in the park with the Ashworth’s. We went to Brookings, SD to the Children’s Museum to visit Andrew and Laura Ellsworth and their children (Eli and Lydia). So much fun!!! One day, we even went to my college for a trip down memory lane. It was a fantastic trip! It would’ve been so much if Dave was able to join us.

In the beginning when we first learned about Eli’s CHD (HLHS), I wasn’t sure which milestones we were going to meet and which ones we were going to miss. Thankfully, we’ve been blessed with many milestones!!

A recent milestone is his 4K graduation. Eli spent the 2013-2014 school year attending 4-year old kindergarten (otherwise known as preschool). He loved it! He learned so much and grew into an amazing little man. We were so proud of him. I cried!

Nate and Sarah had their 3rd baby in April. She’s a sweet, chubby baby! We love her!! I have a few pictures of her (just a few 😉).

We had some beautiful spring days, so we did what any good Minnesotans do after being cooped up all winter…we went outside!!
