Life Lately


A Random Post-
Brad- Has had several very busy months with more demanding rotations and residency interviews. He interviewed at 7 programs. Most did a good job of selling themselves because it seemed like Brad's ranking order kept changing after each one :) Only a few more months and then he graduates, I can't believe it. We  are starting to see the light of this tunnel.  We also know there are more tunnels to come, like residency tunnels!

Lisa- I took quite a few continuing education classes earlier this year and at one of them I learned about tonsil stones.  What they are, how to remove them etc. Then a few weeks ago I had a little bit of a sore throat and looked in the mirror and saw that I had one! I was actually kind of excited because I knew what it was and how I was going to get it out! I know its stupid but I was all proud of myself.

A few weeks ago our really good friends Kailey and Chase Irwin moved back to Utah. Chase finished law school and I couldn't find a way to sabotage their move. Kailey and I have become very close and we have helped each other out a lot over the last couple years. Makenna really adores Kailey and their little boy Lucas.   I've been lucky to have such a good friend and I'm sad to have them leave.


Now to the kids---A few randoms pictures and short videos from the past couple of months

 A huge bump! It was flat by the next day, but it scared us a lot.
 Happy!

 Tanner is super excited about it new super stylish socks!

One of the highlights of the day was playing with Grandma's new puppy!
It was so fun to have a toddler get excited about Christmas this year.
I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and the opportunity we have to focus on his life and birth.  I'm grateful for his love and the sustaining power of the atonement. Merry Christmas!
