Today we went to the pool for an afternoon swim, but it began to storm so we left for home. Brooke wanted to continue to play in the water though, so we splashed around in the rain having a good time.

Tuesday June 11th was an exciting day for us as it was AJ’s graduation form residency. It has been a busy three years of learning and working for EVMS but on June 30th he will no longer be a resident and will start work as an attending! AJ and I have attended the graduation ceremonies the past two years and were fortunate enough to enjoy the grace and hospitality of Dr. Counselman and his wife who hosted this years ceremony at their Larchmont home. It was a wonderful time visiting with old friends and of course celebrating AJ’s achievements! I could not be any prouder of him and all the work he has put in these last three years. I love you AJ!!

Everyday Brooke is doing such an amazing job walking. She is getting better at changing direction quickly and keeping up with the brisk pace of her parents. This afternoon Brooke and I went to a craft fair at the Town Center fountains and she got to practice her walking around the courtyard. She also had some fun putting her hands and other things in the fountains. We walked around the nearby shops and she tried her first tiny piece of Belgium chocolate at a local chocolatier. She wasn’t too excited but I am sure that will change as she gets older.
This past week we got to visit with Grammy and Grandpa. We all enjoyed having them around, but Brooke really had a good time hanging out with them, going to the beach, playing at the park and going to a farm. Also, Brooke really got comfortable walking all on her own this week – – it’s been quite the transformation to where she now just runs around the house anywhere she’d like to go.
