It was a nice labor day weekend in Boise, and we had a full weekend of balloons, huckleberries and Bronco football!
We started out our weekend by getting up early Saturday morning and going down to the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic. We got there just in time to see all of the balloons lifting off the ground and we even got to go right up and get close to them. It was amazing to watch them all and we had a great time, even if we did have to wake a couple of boys up early (we were able to bribe them with donuts though).
After that we piled into the truck and went up in search of the elusive huckleberry, along with my sister Erin and her son Charlie. We found a pretty good patch of them, but this year the huckleberries are pretty small and not quite as plentiful as last year (but they were sweeter), so it took us a bit longer to get enough for some pancakes and milkshakes.
Sunday was a day of yard work and just hanging around the house (and of course huckleberry pancakes). While Rick worked on the yard, Josh decided to build his own version of a roller coaster, but of course he needed a rider, so Jacob got to fill that duty. Jacob did not mind trying it out, but I had to make sure the roller coaster did not go too fast.
Monday, we got ready to watch the much talked about BSU Broncos in their game against Virginia Tech. We invited some friends and family over, and while there were a few nervous moments in the second half, BSU pulled it off in the end and won 33 to 30.
But today it is the start of a new day, and with that it is also the start of Josh's first day of preschool at Eagle Montessori. He was excited to go, but a bit nervous once he got there. I think he will have a great time though. I am sure he will come home with many new friends. He is only going half days right now, but he says if he likes it he wants us to put him in the full day program (we will give him a month or so to decide though).

We will leave on Saturday and will come back Wednesday evening. I am anxious to see what more they can tell us about Jacob's seizures and the possibility of some kind of long term solution. While he seems to be having a few less seizures, and seems to be in a bit of a better mood over all, he is still having more than I would like to see him have. So I don't know if I like the risks the new medicine brings with the amount of (little) good it is doing. I will update next week on Thursday, after we are back, I promise (so check back then)!
