April 2013

April was an amazing month. Lots of sunshine and celebration. Sometimes I wish time could just stand still. We have such a blessed life.

The birthday celebrations were no joke this year! If it has anything to do with birthdays 29 is going to be a fantastic year!

It started off with an amazing night at my friend Adelaide's house. A group of our friends cooked a fabulous dinner and we stayed up way to late laughing and talking. I love those girls.







Then a birthday lunch date with Sheridan!

Then a girls night to The Hill with my besties from church!



And last, but not least! A birthday dinner with my favorite people on this planet.


Birthday flowers from Erin!


WUMCHA is a organization for doctor wifes. It is amazing and an incredible support network. We had lunch at the Ritz!





2013-2014 WUMCHA Board members


Lunch with daddy at work! He had a rotation at the Children's Hospital and Annie loved visiting.


Annie officially started crawling this month... better late than never! It's kinda rocked our world. She's always on the move!


Oh and tantrums started this month too!


We have made it our goal to see all 50 states by the end of residency. We heard about the largest firework show in the country was in Kentucky. It kicks off all the Derby festivities. It crossed off another state AND we had a blast! Annie especially loved the air show before the fireworks.











We visited Churchill Downs which was a truly amazing place. We can't wait to attend the derby one day!











My parents bought me a ticket to Utah for my birthday (aka they wanted to see Annie:)! Robert was able to hang out with us at the gate before our flight took off. I'm so glad I discovered that possibility!


Annie was in heaven the second we landed! She adores her cousins and family.

We attended Uncle Chirs and Cambria's college graduation.





Tulip festival at Thanksgiving point!

Celebrating Annie's first birthday... a month early!




Everyone put their arcade tickets together to buy Annie a giraffe!









April makes me happy!

March 2013

This month seemed to go on forever! That's not necessarily a bad thing. Robert was on an easy rotation so we saw a lot of him! I love spending time with him more than anything! I'm pretty sure Annie loves it too! Annie is now 10 months old.. awww! She is the best little buddy. She loves to be around people, especially other little kids.


 10 month check up: 80% for height, 10% for weight
 Naps with Annie usually end up like this!
 She loves to get into everything. She has a little mischievous side. 

 Her favorite toy is an old laptop that we have.
She is a very cuddly baby and I'm loving it. Sometimes I hold her during her naps. I know this stage won't last forever so I'm living it up! She is kind of crawling but she loves walking most of all. I find Annie's hand prints everywhere! It never gets old.




 Robert leaves fake bones around the house that he uses to practice surgery. Annie loves them and sometimes even sleeps with them.
 Robert gave me tickets to the NYC ballet for Valentines. It was amazing. It made me miss NYC.. for a sec.
 My 2 friends and 5 kids ventured to the STL St. Patrick's day parade. It was quite the experience but so much fun!
 Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Almost every Monday night we spend at Sheridan's house for a girls night. Annie loves all the attention and the chance to stay up late with the girls!


We had a full house the last week of April. Robert's two best friends from undergrad and their families came to stay for a few days. David and Bonnie drove up from Dallas and Brittany and Elias flew in from San Francisco. It was 5 days of good food, great conversation, and late nights laughing. I already miss them so much and can't wait until our next visit! 


 Robert cutting out a bump from E's head.. silly boys
 Annie was in heaven with all her little friends around!





 We enjoyed a beautiful day with some friends from church at the Cahokia Mounds.


 Annie's first Easter!!!








After church we went to the Landcaster's home for an egg hunt and delicious dinner.


Goodbye March... Hello April!
