Chase's Pledge

Chase is involved in a preschool group of 7 kids once a week, and we all take a turn teaching for 2 weeks. It works out great and it's been really fun for him. Every day at the beginning they have circle time and do the same things: name tags, weather, the pledge, etc. and at the beginning of the year I thought there was no way Chase was going to learn the pledge. But he did! Their 'preschool graduation' is next week but we will be in Utah during it, so I recorded him saying it this morning so he can still take part in it. I thought it was cute so I decided to share :)

Progress Report

After Monday, Eric will officially be done with his second year of medical school!! YAY!! The first two years are all classes, and the second two are clinical rotations and more hands-on experience. I'm so glad he's done with the school portion of things! 

Last week Eric had his Rite of Passage Ceremony-- basically they gave out awards for the best grades in each class and said congrats for making it through the first two years. Congrats Eric for making it this far! Only 2 more to go! And then 3 years of residency, but lets not talk about that...:)

He has done such an amazing job, I know he will make an amazing doctor. Love you Eric!!!

(We will see how long this post stays up after he discovers it, but he usually checks the blog monthly at best :)

Can we go on a bike ride?

At least 12 times I day I hear that question: Can we go on a bike ride? I usually let them ride out in the garage or in front of our house, but sometimes that doesn't satisfy their want to go on a long ride. So the other day Eric and I took them out on a long one. Next to our house there's a big field and we were surprised to discover there is a maze of sidewalks paved into it, and a little pond! Perfect to let the boys ride, ride, ride. I'm sure we will be back here often.

Hailey made herself comfortable in her stroller. Such a good sport!
