Friday, June 27th was Eric's official graduation from residency! I'm so proud of him and because I am his wife I get to brag on him. (He will kill me for saying this!) He was nominated and elected by his fellow residents to be one of the two chief residents this year. It was a hard job and didn't always make everyone happy (he was in charge of the call schedule), but he really enjoyed it. He was also selected to present at a national sports medicine conference in Albuquerque, NM and was very relieved when it was over! Needless to say he has been very busy the past 3 years!
We've waited so long for this day and it was very bittersweet. We've made so many great friends here and we hate to leave them. Although 2 out of the 6 in Eric's class are moving to Alaska, so they are leaving us! Chattanooga has really grown on us...especially because this is where our boys were born. We will truly miss everyone! Now we're off to Birmingham for a 1 year fellowship in Sports Medicine. THEN we'll be done!
This is Eric's mom & dad, aka Mimi and Grandaddy!
We went to Myrtle Beach the second week of July with Eric's parents and grandparents. We had a wonderful time and of course took a ton of pictures! Brady loved the beach last summer, so we thought he would really love it this summer...he wouldn't put his feet down in the sand the first day and he never really got in the ocean. A little disappointing, but he still had fun building sandcastles! Anderson stuck his toes in the ocean and got in the pool one time. I was a little more cautious about him being in the sun than I was Brady at this age. I guess I'm getting older too and realize that I don't need much of a tan or skin cancer! (Mom-I know you'll appreciate that!) We had a great time playing all week, eating at good restaurants, playing dominos until the wee hours of the morning and actually getting to sleep late! (Thanks Becky!)
There is nothing better or sweeter in life than a black and white picture of your child at the beach.
