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!!

Enjoying the nice Sunday that it is, we took a bike ride to our local park. Brooke had a fun time playing on the swings and playground like she always does. After playing for a while, Brooke decided it was time to show off her walking skills that she has been working on – – she’s getting quite good.

Today was a fun day. This morning we, of course, went to stroller strides but it was special today because it was our favorite instructor’s birthday. To celebrate I (and all the ladies) wore shirts that we made saying “We Love Devon!”. Brooke wore her workout gear to show Devon that her dedication to fitness and healthy living is passing on to the next generation!
Then we were invited to ‘Fun Friday’, which is when the ladies in our neighborhood and their children do a fun activity on Friday. Today it was the beach and we had a great time playing with all our neighbors at the ocean. Brooke’s favorite thing is the waves and was the ONLY child there (11 kids -ages ranged from 6 weeks to 5 years) who was running INTO the waves (not just splashing at the waters edge). Eventually I had to pick her up from getting clobbered and I held her on my hip and went a bit deeper until the waves were hitting on our midsections. Every time a wave would hit us she would laugh and laugh! She is a beach baby for sure. She also loved getting head to toe covered in sand and playing with her story time friend Giuliana.
What a wonderful day!
Normally we keep this website for family events, but today is an exciting day at work for me – – it’s my last call ever. I am very happy to never have in-house call again, so here’s to a good last call…
