3 in 1

Three key items of note for us this past week:
1. Sawyer is 9mos now.
I can hardly believe it! She is 15lbs and doing great. She babbles and "talks" up a storm, but isn't interested in moving, crawling or getting herself in motion yet. She does stand supported well and grabs things easily. She is a lot like Sullivan was as she has great fine motor skills, but slow-developing gross motor skills. She continues to delight us...she is very chill and tranquil and just goes with the flow. The poor child can sleep in any bed or pack'n'play, as she has always been tossed about into a variety of cribs as we play "musical beds" in our small home. She is our cherub.

2. This past June 18 marked our 6th wedding anniversary. I am still learning about Lee, even though we have been together 8 years now...He is a man of mystery and allure to me even now; in many ways we are still "courting". I am so grateful to be his wife and smile as the future awaits us. Bring on trauma rotation in July! Bring on a challenging fellowship next year! A new practice to establish in two years! We can do this.

3. The 2011 Orthopedic Roast was held this past Saturday. Above you see our class of rising 5th year residents. Have we really been here for four years already? What a journey it has been! I will always treasure this rich experience...where we made great friends, had babies, juggled the crazy schedule and explored Greenville. To my girls here in Greenville, Oh! How I will miss you!
