Oh Henry


What can I say about Henry. He is huge he now weights 67 pounds and is 9 months old. He is full of energy and loves to be the center of our world. Some of Henry's favorite things right now are playing fetch with his ball, going in his swimming pool, taking walks, eating, and going to Bow Wow Beach. Bow Wow Beach is a large dog park that has a lake in the middle and is completely fenced in. Henry loves try to run with the big dogs. The funny thing is I think he thinks he can really keep up with them. It is pretty cute to watch. Henry thought that this little weiner dog was his girlfriend but she didn't want to have anything to do with him :)



Since the weather has been nice we go on walks in the evening and people that Matt and I don't even know will say hi to Henry. We sometimes feel like we are walking with a celebrity :) He is very friendly and loves to play. He does have his moments (drive me crazy moments) but for the most part Henry is good. He is for sure a part of our little family and I can't imagine life without him.

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.
