going back a bit...Josh's graduation in June

Here are some pictures from Josh's graduation (from residency) dinner held in mid-June. His parents and my parents were able to join us for the occasion. Luke got to wear his tuxedo from Matt and Jayce's wedding again :)

Crazy couple of months

So I'm way behind again on blogging. Well that's because the last couple of months have been crazy. Josh and I both ended our jobs (residency and postdoc fellowship) in June, went to Josh's residency graduation dinner, tried to (and have not yet succeeded) sell a townhouse, are now trying to rent out our townhouse, moved to Atlanta, started new jobs (Josh is doing a Pediatric Ophthalmology fellowship and I am working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or the CDC for the Vision Health Initiative), Luke started a new daycare, Luke and I took a few days trip to NC (pictures to come), and today I am home with a sick baby (on my 6th day of work...thank God for understanding supervisors!). That about sums up our last couple of months. Thanks to my parents and Matt and Jayce for helping us with the move!! We are trying to make the most of big city life. Will post soon about the adventures we've had so far.

My 30th Birthday

What more could I want?



My parents were in town in June and watched Luke for the day while Josh and me went shopping, saw a movie, and went to dinner with friends. It was a great birthday.

End of the year Party for Noah's Room

The end of May marked the end of the school year for Luke at his Birmingham daycare. He got promoted to the next classroom for the last month before we moved to Atlanta. Poor kid had to change classrooms twice in two months, and while I think he is still adjusting on the change to the new daycare in Atlanta, he is doing better than we hoped for so far. Here a couple of pictures from the end of the year party. Ms. Lisa was one of Luke's favorite teachers and the little girl he is hugging is his friend Kara. I really miss that daycare!

Rest of our Fl trip

We were able to take a few days of vacation in FL following Matt and Jayce's wedding.
We had a lot of fun and with the help of our families, I threw Josh a 30th Birthday Party. We were blessed to have so many family members there who were still in town from the wedding. We also took a fun trip to Lowrey Park Zoo in Tampa. It was a HOT day, but we all had fun.

The Wedding!

We went home to Florida over Memorial Day weekend as Josh's brother Matt was getting married to his fiance Jayce. Luke was asked to be a ring bearer in the wedding and Josh was co-best man. We are so excited for Matt and Jayce! The big day went great, Luke made it half-way down the aisle, but didn't quite make it all the way. Still not bad for a 19-month old. He did not want to be cooperative though for the family pictures after the ceremony. Our apologies to Matt and Jayce as I am sure they did not even get one good picture with Luke in it. Here are a couple of shots we got on our camera from the wedding and reception.




Josh's goddaughter Sophia! So cute!! Luke and Sophia had a great time playing together.

McWane Science Center

There is a nice Science Center in Birmingham and one rainy Saturday in May we went with our neighbors the Paquette's to let the boys run around. They had a great time and we were all ready to go after an hour and a half! Time for lunch and naps for the kids. Here are a few pictures of our morning there.
