JDRF Starlight Snowshoe Benefit 2014

We had so much fun on last Saturday night up at Bogus Basin for the JDRF Starlight Snowshoe Benefit.  I had never been snow shoeing and it was so much fun.  Plus it was gorgeous up there.  Can you believe I haven't been to Bogus in over ten years.  Crazy.   We just aren't snow sports type of people.  Here are some pictures from the event.

Today we also had our 7 month diagnosis check up.  Rose's A1C went from a 6.6% to 7.3%.  The doctor and us think that Rose is finally coming out of the honeymoon phase.  If you don't know what an A1C is check here.  Oh and a honeymoon phase is usually right after diagnosis where the pancreas is still creating some insulin but not enough to keep you from getting shots.  It can last anywhere from a month to six years. We also had Rose get a full blood work up today.  I was so nervous all week and I cried every time I thought about it.  As most of you know I HATE NEEDLES.  So having my child get her blood drawn was so scary to me.  But Rose was so brave and she got it down with a little amount of tears.  She is one amazing girl and I am always so impressed with how brave she is.
