Weight loss We are fortunate that my husband's work allowed us to move to Colorado about 10 months ago. We are our DS' official sponsor and saw our him for Doolie Day out for 8 hours on Sunday, he lost weight too. He said meal times were not easy because they have to sit at attention, pass the...

We also received three letters: one Chapel postcard and two short letters. Our DS says meals are not easy at all, "but whatever." He says he felt really good when he went to the Chapel on both (yes, both!) the first Saturday evening and Sunday AM services. He said it gave him "a sense of spirit...

Immunization records My DS went to get his immunization form filled out and found out that his Pediatrician only had records dating back to when he was 12 years old and after. We lived in Maryland up to when DS was 4, then moved to CA. I think we had one or two other pediatricians before the...

Much gratitude Thank you for the responses! :smile: I'm glad I got some clarity about the birth certificate/passport question. DS has both so he can just bring his birth certificate. I feel for the basics now, gosh to have to carry their things in the left hand. I definitely will skip the...

Thanks for the response! :smile: It might not be a problem if he gets the boots on I day. It will be one less thing to carry for him. DS has been running 5 miles a day at least five days a week now so he shd be ok. I have another question: Did your DS bring a passport or his original birth...
