Cousins Play (DS) Together

I just love these two pictures of Luke and Brendan playing DS while Wyatt watches.

How are you doing, Dad?

Will someone read this to Dad? I just wanted to see how the surgery went and make sure you're doing well. Plus I thought it was a funny idea for a blog post and I haven't posted anything in a while :) Love you all!

Wicked trip

If you didn't know about this before hand...then surprise!
Mom, Dad and I decided before we started reading the Book of Mormon in March, if we finish it within that 31 days, our reward would be to take a trip to California and see "Wicked". We have purchased our tickets and are all excited to go. :) We leave the morning of June 9th and will return the night of June 11th. I'm looking forward to going with Mom and Dad. Because they know places we can go, and I don't have to stress about driving myself. And we found really good airfare. So I'm even more excited about that. I'm not big on the long drives. I can handle one long drive every 6 years or so. And since the last long drive I went on was to drive Leigh home to St. Louis last year...I'm good for another 5 or so years before I take another long road trip. :)

Happy Birthday Leigh!

I hope you and Jake had fun on your cruise. :) I thought about you today, and was jealous that I had to work while you two were off having fun.

Tack on another year...

Jake has decided that he wants to apply for a second fellowship. That's right I said SECOND. He wants to do neo-natal anesthesiology so he will be able to work with the tiniest patients. This would be after the pediatric year and would mean one more year here in St. Louis. It's a new program that's being offered here and two other hospitals (Boston Mass General and one in New York, I think) so it would be a tremendous opportunity. I'm trying to be supportive while hinting that this may be too much training... we'll see.

Nelson shootaround

Milk, etc.

Hey everyone,

I heard of an interesting website created by someone at BYU. You can go on it and find out where your dairy products come from. It is interesting to find that most of it comes from the same place. I looked at Western Family, Smith's, Mt. Dairy and found they came from Smith's Dairy in Layton. Cream O' Weber comes from the Cream O' Weber plant in SLC. You can find the code on your bottle and then put it in at the website and it will locate the origin. 49-70 is the one in Layton and 49-10 is Cream O' Weber. Here is the website: whereismymilkfrom.com

Leigh, you might even be able to use it. It's just something to look at to give you a bit of information about local products vs those from far away. You can save some money and buy the cheaper product knowing they come from the same place.

Speech Therapy, etc.

Wyatt has been to six speech therapy sessions. I think he is making some progress, but it is SLOW! He doesn't say much at home around us, so you can imagine that things don't improve when he's at the hospital with a stranger in the room. That said, today was his best day yet. He repeatedly said "ball" to play with a ball and "more" to pop more bubbles. And he cooperated by touching buttons on a screen to show what he wanted to do next. Wyatt has become familiar with the therapist's office (they have a huge fish tank that he likes to look at), but he still acts clingy during the sessions. He has to sit on my lap and grab onto my arms. We are hoping to get him accepted into a magnet school this fall where they would be able to provide free speech therapy that would be integrated into his school day. I'm surprised how sad I feel about having him start school at such a young age. But I know this is the best way to get him talking. I'll let you know how things go. I'm excited to see you all next month!

Where is everyone?

I don't think there are enough posts being made. I check the blog and find the same posts without anything new added. Let's all write a little more, we don't call, we don't write, we could stand to be a bit more in touch. Love you all...
