13 Years Later

It's taken 13 years but they are finally here and we get to experience them before we head to York.

Cicadas
Ours are a little more orange/reddish. But they tend to go to young trees and guess who has two big young trees in her front yard. Yes, that's right, me. These things are so stinking loud and they never stop making noise (or singing as they say). After some time they die and the bodies start to decay. Apparently when that happens it starts to stink. Not really looking forward to that part. Oh ya and as many as a million noisy male cicadas can gather in a tree over a single acre calling out for their future mates. Also they have their 17 year old buddies joining them and this is very rare. It occurs every 221 years. The last time it occurred was in 1777. The next time this happens will be in 2219. So glad I got to experience this...

happy boy

QUICK FELIX UPDATE..

4 TEETH
GREAT BALANCE
CRAWL/ARMY CRAWL (IT CAN BE FAST IF HE KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS)
LOVES CARROTS AND CARES FOR NOTHING ELSE
LOVES OSCAR
LOVES HIS BED
LOVES BALLS

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW BUT WE ARE GETTING READY TO HEAD TO ST. GEORGE SO I'M SURE THERE WILL BE MORE POSTS TO COME.

PS. OSCAR REFUSES TO HAVE THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON OFF WHEN HE'S ON THE COMPUTER AND WELL HE'S ON MY LAP SO I HAD TO TYPE THAT WAY. SORRY.

the final finals week

That's right. We will NEVER have another finals week. Sure there will be test's here and there and boards here and there but never a week jam-packed with late night (sometimes ALL night) cram-sessions, red bulls, pretzels, pop tarts, and all in all junk food. What a relief it is. Christian is going to be able to be home when he's home (if that doesn't make sense.. well, talk to a med school wife and she can explain). Christian has been amazing through out these past two years of craziness. I'm so proud of him for keeping his life balanced with both family and school. I can't wait for rotations. When Christian told me he had pediatrics for his first rotation, I couldn't help but get the biggest grin and tried to control my heart from leaping out. Congratulations Christian you're half of a doctor!
