Today we decided to go as a family to our local minor league Tides baseball game. Brooke had fun walking in the isles and trying some ball park grilled soft pretzel. Her favorite thing by far was walking up and down the stadium stairs. Mom and Dad took alternate innings walking with her. Even though she didn’t quite make it through the 7th inning stretch, for a 13 month old she did great.
Today June 30th, 2013 was AJ’s last day of residency so I got up early to surprise him with a special breakfast as he was coming home at 8 o’clock after night shift. Of course I had to make some for Brooke as well. I woke her a bit early so we could be ready when Dad got home but she didn’t seem to mind.
Summer storytime started today at the Greenbrier Library. Brooke was happy to be able to walk around with the other children today.
I was shopping for long overdue new running shoes this weekend and saw a cute shirt in the running store. It said “Someday I’ll Run like my Mommy.” The shirt however was $20 and even though it was a 2T, I could tell it was way to short for Brooke’s long torso. So with a $5 target ruffle sleeve tank and some creativity I made my own shirt for Brooke. She seems to take the message to heart and is working on her speed.
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!!
