We had quite the busy weekend. After Match Day, Rach came to stay with us for a few days. She was so helpful to me...changing diapers and playing with William so I could get some things done around the house. I have a feeling that she and William are going to be buddies. Here they are after William messed up yet another outfit. Thanks for staying with us, Rach! We miss you already!



We also went to the equivalent of medical school prom this weekend. My parents kept our little man for us so we could party...we stayed out to the late hour of 10:30. Here is our pre-prom pic.
The ball was at the Peabody Hotel, so of course everything was duck themed. This was a real hit at a table full of med students and a few duck hunters (Hunter and Del). I took some pictures of the progression of my dessert. We wanted to eat every bite of all of our food since HJ's meal alone cost $50, but I must admit I did not actually eat the duck head. It was just too much white chocolate so I moved it to HJ's plate for the sake of the picture. We all thought the rasberry sauce was a bit morbid for an edible duck, but it definitely tasted good.

Well, I'm off to change a blow out. Have a great Monday!

Here are some pictures from the big day. As you can tell, William is thrilled to find out where he will live for the next four years...





Well, we are officially going to be in Memphis for four more years. Thank you to everyone for the prayers and encouragement as we went to interviews and waited to find out where we would be. We are so thankful that we get to stay here where we have met so many wonderful friends and where we are so close to our families (and William's grandparents!). We have grown to love Memphis over the last four years. So many endearing qualities. For instance, you can take any piece of furniture out to the curb (even an old sink) and it will be gone in 30 minutes. And sometimes, in the morning, all of Memphis smells like old fried chicken (what is that)? Seriously, we really do love this city. We are looking forward to see how God works in our church and in the city, and we are thankful that He is allowing us to be a part of it for four more years.

8 Weeks





Well, tomorrow is the big day...please pray for us as we find out where we'll be for the next four years. William is 8 weeks old this week. I really can't believe it. It has gone by so quickly, and yet I can't remember what it was like to not have him here. He is such a sweet, sweet boy, and we are enjoying every minute with him. A little update...today he rolled over twice. I think he just hates tummy time so much that he was desperate to get back on his back. Anyway, I just wanted to put a few pics up of him with just his socks and diaper. How cute! I'll let you know soon what we find out tomorrow.

7 Weeks

William is getting so big! His sweet little cheeks are filling out and he is starting to get some rolls on his skinny legs. As you can see in the pictures, he is losing some of his hair. I love his reddish blond hair, so I hope it comes back the same color. For now, he has a nice receding hair line.

Next week will be a big week for us. I have some things to do for school, so I will have to leave him for more than a few hours for the first time...sad. Then, Thursday is Match Day, so we will find out our destination for the next four years. I should definitely be here for my internship, but then we could be moving. The options are Memphis, Nashville, Houston, Birmingham, Chapel Hill, or Louisville....or nothing, but we won't think about that yet. On Friday, we head to the pediatrician for his two month check up and shots. Here are some pics from the last few weeks:
