Hah Ha Ha Ha! I just rolled over in laughter...

Check out the cheaky look on son's face.....

It's just like feeding a baby bird he says

Workin' Man

Yesterday was Dakota's first job! Starting salary $20 per hour (2 hour total)

He is now a profesional practice baby patient for OHSU students.

He was such a good sport; all giggles & goos with the girls.

Not so much with the guys....

Yup, he's a Neaman boy

Our 2nd Anniversary Breakfast

We recently celebrated out 2nd year of holy matwimony with a family breakfast out.
A yummy tredy little place in Northwest where we enjoyed splurging for our "free day" (We are on a health program btw)

Keith had his favorite; big belgian waffel, cristy on the outside fluffy on the inside with fresh strawberries and ice cream.
I went crazy with an amazing apple fritter french toast & apple pork sausage. Its going to take a lot of miles to make up for that one!



Dakota didn't last long before he had had enough himself.

Oh but it's lovely being a family....

Shananagans

(in an Irish accent)

Aye, top-a the mornin' to ya

We be wishin' ya a glorious St Patrick's day

May the luck of the Irish be with you that

you might find your own pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!

1st choice

!!!!!!!!!! Grand Rapids, MICHIGAN !!!!!!!!!!!

It's been crazy here today! I woke up a 4am this morning from a dream that conviced me we were going to Texas. So I was all emotionally prepared for that. Yikes! Michigan is COLD! What a strange experience to find out this way and in front of everyone. We were lucky enough to match directly into an integrated plastics program at all let alone our first choice (well, Keith's first choice based on program - I just gave in to be nice - now look what I got myself into). It's Okay, because I was determined to have a good attitude no matter where we ended up. I commited to that. It was true, some people cheered for joy and others left in tears. I live amongst a very strange and intense sub-culture. Not just the med students but specifically the plastics applicants. It is such a small and tight little community. As soon as we left, the calls and text messages from other entering residents accross country came flooding in. Everything else is a whirl-wind of excitement and business. Flights, loans, mortgages, real estate, new car shopping, old car selling, packing up....

Oh boy, here we go.....

We Matched!

Can you guess where?

Its a smaller city with a population of under 200,000....













There are four seasons...






Beaches....






Light houses....


And Lots and lots and lots of snow.....

Partly cloudy high of 52

Dakota Jack is 4 months old today and growing at warp speed!

We are going to make a second attempt at our St.Patrick's day photo today. This time outside in the park. We've had a hard time with this one so wish us luck.

On other news

We are 24 hours away from the moment of truth. The big day is tomorow! We meet at the school for a breakfast at 915 am. Family & friends gather around and each student picks up their mystery envelope.

Some might be in the corners crying, some will cheer for joy. Its a horrible way to go about it reallly, but you cant fight tradition...

Life will take another big turn after tomorow. Finding a home, moving accross country, starting a new life somewhere strange. Oh what lays in store for us?

The suspense is killin' me!

(How do you spell the snoring sound?)

New Crib

We finally bought a new crib for little Jack. I guess we figured that it was time concidering his head kept bumping the end of the bassinet. This kid is going to be a tower!
Its also been nice have daddy at home early this week. Even though sometimes we can't stand each other... I love my guys.

Holi shmoli!

My favorite Hindu holiday is just around the corner.

I can't wait to see how emily potter experiences it.

Someday baby, when i get my turn in India, I'm all over it .
