Gunner and the Slide

Ellasen and Gunner share a love of the slide. They are not swing fans, or playhouse fans, or monkey bar fans, but any slide any where and Ellasen and Gunner are there. We take lots of walks to the park and Gunner will follow right behind Ellasen on the slides. We have a small slide in our backyard, and the two of them take turns going down the slide. Here are a couple of videos of it!

The Last Supper

Well, this is it. The 6 ortho couples who have done pretty much everything together since we started here in Rochester got together for the last time on Sunday night. Catherine and Louie put a great pizza dinner together for us. They are a year ahead of the rest of us and will be moving on to a fellowship this summer. With that and some away rotations coming up for some of the other couples this was the very last time we could all be in the same room. Even still we were missing one husband...someone is ALWAYS on call. It was a sad reminder that most chapters in life are temporary. It will be hard to make friends like these in the future. We were all pretty much newly weds together, had our kids together, maneuvered the ups and downs of residency together, and warmed each other's spirits during the LONG winter months of Minnesota. We will really miss one another.
