We built a new house and moved in the middle of June. On July 16th we hosted an “I Do BBQ” for our daughter and her fiancé. It was a wonderful time spent with family and friends. Now that those things are over it is just about time for me to think about going back to work!!! Yikes! I attended the Chapter Leaders meeting in Wisconsin on July 8-10th. It was such a pleasure spending time with like-minded people whose sole goal is to make life better for those living with PWS.
