Finally Updated!

OK, I've finally updated the last 3 months of our lives. Now it is time to close my eyes and rest them. Please forgive any typos or if the sentences aren't all complete (thoughts) as I didn't go back and check things very carefully. I'm proud of myself that I finally did remember how to put a slide show on though and was able to get some good pictures!!

4th of July/Longwood Gardens

Here is a sampling of our day at Longwood Gardens. We had so much fun running around seeing all the flowers and fountains. It is amazing how beautiful it is each time we go. It ended with the most amazing fireworks and fountain show anyone as seen.

June

 
 
 
 
June was a whirlwind of adventure. It started with Rob taken and passing his radiology board exam. It is so nice to be board certified and have residency over. Immediately we took off to IN for Rob's 10 year Wabash reunion with a detour to Chicago for the kids to spend a fun filled weekend with their Auntie. The kids had fun going to their first baseball game and to the musuem along with a few Wii games while we were having fun catching up with all our friends we hadn't seen since our wedding! It was nice to go back where there were so many good memories and the place where "The Pies" all started! Lauryn finished 2nd grade with a bang. Again we had super grades and Lauryn completed the things she needed to be in the gifted program next year. We are super proud of her! Being in the traveling mood, we took off for a visit with Aunt Maggie, Uncle Denis and Cousin Emily in IN. We had a great time spending time with them, going to Maggie's sister's cottage where we got to fish and go on a boat ride (now they are even more excited for the island trip with the little preview.) We returned home and the next day I had Lasik with great results. My doctor says I have A+ eyes with 20/15 vision now. It is amazing to be able to see everything including in the clock in the middle of the night or myself in the mirror getting ready in the morning!! Next we had a trip to the zoo to say goodbye to the elephants (Robert's favorite animal to see when we visit) as they are going away while they take the time to make them a new exhibit. And finally, Rob started his fellowship at UPenn. It is very different with the hour commute instead of the 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive before, but it is exciting and there are so many things to see and learn.

Whew!

May

 
 
 
 

May was a busy month. Rob went to Vancouver to present his poster and visited some family all while studying for his general radiology board exams. Rob also moved out of his apartment in Danville and now lives with the rest of us! It was an incredibly long year being apart but it is over and we are enjoying doing things together everyday again.

Robert Angus was busy finishing kindergarten! He did an excellent job with outstanding grades. We are so proud of all his hard work. He is going to be moving to Worcester Elementary with Lauryn next year for 1st grade and is very excited to be going to school with Lauryn.
