I miss my MP Girls!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to give my dear friends from Menlo Park my deepest thanks! These ladies not only have been wonderful friends to me, but were such a huge help while I was sick. They all lined up and took Carly everyday after I got out of the hospital, right up to the time we left Cali. I could not ask for better friends or support!! You girls have a special place in my heart!! Thank you for everything, and I plan to hear from all of you, often!! Miss you tons!...Really-I do.

My stylish patriotic daughter....

This is what happens when I let her dress herself!! The girl's got style, what can I say?!

Goodbye to Residency!....

~June 2008~
After 3 yrs. at Stanford, Ryan completed his Internal Medicine Residency! We actually took this picture on our way out to Texas!

We bought a house!

These pics are with the owners stuff still inside so we haven't moved in yet, but yes, we bought a house! In just about 6 weeks we will be leaving our beloved California and moving on to Dallas Texas where Ryan will be doing his Cardiology training/fellowship. We basically bought this house online(through our realtor of course,) but I was able to go down last week and make sure we didn't want to back out during our option period!! It turned out great, and we have lots to do with it, but it will be a great home for the next three years. There are three bedrooms upstairs/two bath-including the master, and downstairs is a full guest room/bath as well-So you all better come visit us-there's plenty of room!! We're ready for you any time! We feel blessed to be able to have a home, and are so excited!

Some video(again not a temporary post! SOrry, I'll get to redoing this later!

This is terrible video, I was super sick and nauseous, and I didn't even make through the rest of the house!! But this is a quick peak for the fam, and I'll take it down soon!

Liz comes to visit!

So a few weeks ago one of my bestest friends came to visit!! She is a morning news anchor in Augusta Georgia, and I have not seen her since my wedding!!(yeah, it's been a long time!) Anyways, it was so fun for her to finally meet Carly-she just LOVED Liz! It was so fun to have some girl time out on the town with my best pal of 10 years!!
Lizzy, I'm so proud of you and the things you've accomplished!! You're awesome!!! Miss you too!

Happy Easter........

Okay, it's official-I've won the award for worst Blogger of the year! To any of you left that are still occasionaly checking our blog in the wild hopes that something new will actually be posted....thanks for hanging in there!! I would go on with excuses but it's not important right now, and I know you'd much rather see pictures than words!! So enjoy the following 3-4 postings below this and maybe later I'll get to what's been going on in our lives! For now, I'm just proud of myself for getting a few separate very much belated posts and pics up!! Thanks for bearing with us!
Here are some of the goodies that the Easter Bunny left behind! We're hoping the Easter Bunny will upgrade our falling apart baskets next year.
Carly was excited to get her Backyardigans coloring book, and a her little pink duck(which surpisingly lights up!! Ooooooh, awwwww!). Carly loves ducks right now and her impression of their sound is quite hilarious!

Our first Easter egg hunt!!!

We had a great time the day before Easter! We went to a farewell party for some friends of ours, the Mosinski's(we sure are going to miss you Jen!), and there was an Easter egg hunt for all of the kids. We didn't know if Carly would understand it all, but she caught on fast! As soon as she got on the grass, she was cruisin' to any and every egg she saw!! We had to put a lot of eggs back on the ground because she got a little carried away(luckily she didn't see us), but she had a great time, and was sooooo cute!! We love our little bunny!!!






Carly thought she'd get some opinions on her findings....





A triumphant hunt!!!

I love my baby...../little girl!

Doesn't she look so grown up?!
