We've had a lot going on in our house over the past two weeks! Here is an update on each of us.

Brad:

Now done with both parts of Step 2 of the medical school boards (Part 1, a 9 hour multiple choice test taken last Monday, and Part 2, an 8 hour clinical skills test taken Thursday in LA). It was a long week for him and for us, but he did it! It's such a relief to have that over! Bring on 4th year of Medical School!

Traci:

Did I tell you that I am now a nanny (of sorts)? It's true. I babysit the daughter of one of Brad's classmates. Her name is Addie and she comes over three days a week. Addie is the sweetest, most easy-going baby ever, which has been a blessing both to me and to her mom. We have had fun with her! I feel so blessed to be able to bring in a little bit of money and still do what I do at home with my girls.

Here is Addie (obviously Leah has already taught her some tricks, including emptying all the cupboards in the house)

Leah:

 Now 18-months-old! She has gone to Nursery for the past two weeks and loves it. She practically pushes me out the door when I drop her off, but is happy to see me when I pick her up. I peeked in at her last week during singing time. Instead of sitting in a circle with the rest of the kids, she was dancing by herself in the middle of them all. It was awesome. I love that baby girl!

Lainy:

The other day Lainy presented me with this:

I think I'll frame it and keep it forever and ever.

The only thing that is wanting in our lives right now, is a little bit of sunshine. While the rest of the country is experiencing a heat wave, we have cloudy, cool days with occasional rain. Come on Seattle! We want to go to the beach!
