Feb '07

The last update was in October, so here are a few pics from November until now.

I am inserting these pictures randomly. Hannah wanted to play Little Red Riding Hood, so Hannah and Hailey both acted out the part of Little Red, while Mom acted out the part of grandma. I was the big bad wolf of course. Somehow, we were able to teach Hannah about stranger safety while we played (the wolf was the stranger, duh). There is a picture of Christy and I in Cozumel during a much needed and well planned out trip by Christy. We had a great time together. During the Christmas break, we went to Gatlinburg where Hannah was able to go ice-skating for the first time! She made a few snowballs while we were there too. We saw family during the holidays as well. I've included a picture of Hailey and Nana while we visited her home in Alabama. Poppy is included here too with all his grandkids. There is also a picture of Hannah and Hailey on Christmas morning in Hannah's new Barbie Jeep.

School is going well. In just 3.5 months I'll be on the wards of the hospital full-time. I'll take the board exam just prior to that. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one. We are excited for the spring weather and all the colors and smells of the season. The girls are doing well and are so fun. Hannah acts out Wizard of Oz scenes and comes up with all kinds of funny sayings and makes her own jokes (that only she gets the punchline to, but we amuse her anyway by telling her we get it). Hailey is climbing, running, jumping, and constantly mimicking everything her sister does. She's saying 3 word sentences and sings Elmos World constantly, even after I put her to bed.

Happy Halloween 2006!

I am going to try blogging to share pictures and stuff. Medical school is going great. We are seeing patients more often and the stuff we are learning in school seems to have more relevance to clinical medicine. I love the story of the patient. You can learn alot from people if you listen to them.

Christy is busier than ever, taking care of our home and family. She has been a great support to me during medical school. I try to make sure she takes time for herself to go out with friends and enjoy herself [except during test weeks.. ;) ] ha ha

Hannah is such a smart and sweet girl. She can navigate a computer better than your typical state employee. She likes anything with princesses and she loves her preschool. We made a jack-o-lantern the other day and she painted it. She is always saying funny stuff and she is getting sassy (which worries me sometimes).

Hailey is learning so much. She is a precious little girl (except at 2am). She is cutting teeth and learning to say small words like daddy, nana = Hannah. Her first REAL word was ELMO. I think that's hilarious.

Anyway, I hope this blog is a better way to share information about our lives. I will try to update it more often. See more pics below. Peace! Jason.
