Cabin Fever

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cabin! My rockstar mom offered to watch the kids while Aaron and I went and stayed in a sweet cabin for two nights/three days in Sunriver, OR. Isn't she awesome! It was so much fun! It was the first time since we had kids that we have been able to get away and have some of our own time. It was just like another honeymoon! The first day we went skiing at Mt. Bachelor. The snow was pretty good for March but when it started raining we decided it was time to leave. When we got back to the cabin we soaked in the hot tub that was exclusively ours. The next day we pretty much just watched movies, read, slept, worked out and did all the things that we can't do with the kids running around. We went out to dinner that night at Boondocks. The last day we drove up to Bend and hiked a bluff in the middle of town and tried to name all the surrounding mountains, and since we are considering moving there one day, tried to figure out where we might live. We called my mom as we were leaving to come back home and she sounded a bit frazzled. Wes had just pulled out all the tissues from a tissue box and screamed as loud as he could in Jeremy's ear while my mom was changing Jeremy's diaper. I guess it was time to come home! The only bad thing was that the vacation could have been a few days longer.

Indiana, here we come!

Today was "match day" for the medical students. It's a day when everyone finds out where they are going to do their residencies. About a month ago, after interviewing at different programs, Aaron submitted a rank list of the programs he interviewed at. He put Indiana #1 so we are thrilled to be moving there! It has a great program for emergency medicine, which is what he is going to do, and what can I say? Cheap housing! We are very excited and we will be moving the first part of June. On the way home from the match Destroy told me that he couldn't wait to see his cousin, Ty. I asked him what he meant because we aren't planning on seeing Ty soon. He told me that we were going to see Deanna, Ty's mom. I laughed and told him that we are going to Indiana, and not to see Deanna. They sound pretty similar I guess.

Photogenic? It must be photogenetic!

We recently got our pictures back that we had taken during Christmas vacation with my family. We had 9 kids, ages 9 and under who we were trying to get to look at the camera. We didn't care if they even smiled, we just wanted them to look normal for them camera! Not surprisingly, even with our great photographer, none of the pictures turned out to be worthy of hanging on the wall. But with a little photoshop, cutting and pasting, I'm sure we can work something out!

Our individual family pictures were even better. We couldn't get our kids to smile for the camera and look normal to save our lives!
