The greatest part is she had no idea she did anything wrong. What a kid eh? Posted by Picasa
Sarah is definitely testing out her 2 year old ish ness. Sheila went up to put Joshua down for a nap, comes back down and finds Sarah has created a masterpiece on her face...and the TV and the DVD player and the carpet. Thank good ness for Crayola Washable Markers.

Residency, Parenthood and Michigan
Well has been another busy week. Joshua is either growing or getting teeth or both. I was on call overnight on Friday and he did not sleep much. He is very cry-ie today like he is hurting. In between the cries though he is smiling and laughing. Poor kid.

Sarah is doing great. She went to the nursery at church all by herself today for the second time. Very impressive for a girl that needed to hold my hand at christmas dinner because there were : too many people :.

Sheila is doing good, just very very tired. She is always looking for a project and has several in the works now, but one of them may be for you so I can't divulge the content.

I am tired and making it through mammography. Such a highly litigous area of radiology it makes me very nervous. Oh well.

Until next time.

Snowing again. We got several inches, and then it was sunny, so some melted but still lots around with lots more to come no doubt.

Here you see Sarah teaching her froggy puppet how to use a pacifier, since neither of our kids wanted to, we are trying to put them to good use!

Posting the First

Welll, day one of the BLOG, whatever the heck that is....

Joshua Hugh is growing again we think. He does not like to sleep, other than in 20 minute bursts, and is wearing his lovely mother into a slus-puppy pulp. It is hard to get too mad at him though when he flashes a big ole grin at you. You just want to snuggle up to him then!

Sarah remains the apple of her daddy's eye. She is always at the door to greet me and is about bent over with giddiness when I come home, shouting, "I found my daddy, I found my daddy". Until that moment each day, I don;t realize how lost I really am throughout the day. When Sheila has had a stressful day, it can be stressful to come home, but it always makes me happy to get the reaction I do from the children!

Residency continues unabated. Each month is like starting a new job with all that entails. THis month is mammography. I am learning how to read the films, how they are taken, quality control, how to biopsy breast lesions with a variety of techniques, including stereotactic device, mamographic technique and ultrasound guded. It is sometimes an exercise in futility to watch me try to biopsy under ultrasound, but I am learning and have not seriously injured anyone yet. We are halfway through residency, which delights ans terrifies me, as I feel like I know nothing yet. Physics boards are this fall, as is a trip to Washigton DC for 6 weeks for a radiology/pathology correlation course. Hopefully Sheila and the kids will be able to come visit during the stay.

Weather has been nice lately, for Michigan. Highs in the 30's and no snow on the ground to speak of. Weird in a way but we ain't complaining.

That is all!
