I went to Dallas this week for a medical director’s conference, and while I missed being at home with Laura and the kids I still had a good time learning, catching up with Adam Dawson (an old high school friend who I ran into) and playing poker.
This month’s homework was to disguise this Thanksgiving turkey so he wouldn’t get eaten. Brooke chose to dress him as a ballerina like herself. We had fun making the turkey very unrecognizable.
This cutie was just TOO CUTE working on word wall words with me while waiting in the rain for her bus so I had to sneak a picture. So proud of her hard work learning to read.
My friend Vickie was turning 35 and for her birthday I took her on a girls trip. She had never left her kids with her husband to do something just for her (and her oldest is turning 6). We started off the day driving to Richmond then hiking at Pocahontas State Park on Beaver Lake Trail. We had lunch at Fiesta Chicken, followed by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. After checking into the hotel and a shower, I took Vickie to Fighting Fish for her birthday dinner. We had drinks at Cha-Cha’s which ended up turning into a dance club so we stayed to dance and closed the place down. We woke up the next day and walked to breakfast at Urban Farmhouse before having to check out and head back to our families. I had a lot of fun and I think Vickie had a good time too.
Today Alex had his last soccer game. AJ took him and said he did well and kicked the ball a few times. After the game he got his soccer medal. Good job Alex!
