The last few months in nut shell

I can't believe the last time we posted something was in April and it is now June. The last few months have flown by. A few highlights have been being able to go back to Kirksville and seeing our old stomping grounds and hanging out with all of our friends there. Thanks Erick and Lauren for being such great host. From there we traveled to Seattle and spent time with Matt's family and mine. It was great to see everyone and go back home! Matt is officially done with his third year of med school and only has one year to go Yea! We have enjoyed having a yard to work in and being able to plant a garden. I'm still working a lot and enjoying my patients and their families. For some reason I don't have any pictures of our time in Kirksville but I do have a few from Seattle.

Snow galore!

This topic is about a month old but we thought it would be fun to add to our blog. Back in early March we got a huge snowstorm. In fact, it was the 8th largest snowfall in the Cleveland-Akron area. It started snowing late Friday afternoon and didn't stop until late Saturday night! We got 20" of snow here in Akron.
Henry was well up to his belly in snow! He loved it though. We spent most of Saturday playing in the snow. We thought you might enjoy some of the photos.

Cleveland Auto Show

A few weekends ago Jess and I went to the 2008 Cleveland Auto Show. It was more fun than we were expecting. Matt's favorite new car made its rare appearance - the new Chevy Camaro. Jess found her favorite - Range Rover. It was a mere $85,000! We also got to ride in the Jeep Challenge course. The incline was an 18 foot, 30 degree hill, then down the other side. The course also traversed water, logs and a side embankment. We also got to see a Ford Shelby Mustang and the new Dodge Challenger.

Future Tony Hawk

Henry loves to play. We like to take him to the dog park near our house and let him run with the other dogs. He also loves to play with the Layton kids. He is really good with the kids and loves it when they visit. One weekend they went with us to the dog park. It was fun at first but it was really cold out and it didn't last long. We are excited for when it warms up so we can go again with them.

Inventors National Hall of Fame

Matt and I have really enjoyed living in Cuyahoga Falls. We love all the choices of places to eat and shop! We also have been doing a little more sight seeing. One Saturday we decided to check out the Inventors National Hall of Fame. I was a little skeptical but it turned out to be really neat. Matt loves history and this was a lot of fun for him. His new goal in life is to hold a patent.

Life

With the holidays over it is back to our daily routines. Matt is on OB/Gyn rotation right now and enjoying it. It is early mornings but he gets home at a good time. He is on call one night a week and next weekend he will be on call. He gets to come home when he is on call and they page him if he needs to come in.
My work is going well. The last few months I have met so many patients with amazing stories. The courage and love that some people have even when they are so sick is so motivating. Our little Henry isn't so little anymore :) He is now almost 5 months old and weighs almost 40 pounds! He keeps us busy. He still likes to chew and be a pain but we are excited that he has the potty training down. Henry doesn't know yet but we are enrolling him in obedience school. He is pretty bull headed so we will see how it goes. Here are a few recent pictures of us and Henry.
