Benson and Claire were born with a rare genetic disease in which their liver produces too much oxalate--called primary hyperoxaluria. Claire's condition has progressed much faster than Benson's. She was on dialysis since she was 3 months old and for much of that time, did dialysis 3 hours a day, 6 days a week. She receive a much needed kidney / liver transplant on December 18, 2009. It is expected Benson will eventually need similar transplants.

Labor Day

Well, it's the official last day of summer...for us, at least, with school starting tomorrow. Luckily it also happened to be labor day, so we all got to spend it together! We walked around the Plummer house this morning and the kids loved exploring along the path in the woods and were memorized by "Rapunzel's tower!" We enjoyed the rest of the day at a picnic with members of our church...and then a lazy afternoon while Mabel napped.





Benson took a pretty good photo here. It's not very often we get a picture together!

Benson is excited for school tomorrow! He has no hint of nervousness or anxiety. But he's not overly electrified either...to the point of not being able to fall asleep...as I remember often feeling! He's just ready! He'll be a star. No questions asked.

Summer is over and it went by way to fast.

Good luck Benson in the First Grade. You'll do great.
