We are alive....!

I know.... I do not claim to be the world's best blogger by any means.
And I am not going to start this post by promising to do better.... because, I know darn well that just isn't likely.
But, here is a quick update:

Steve finished his 3rd year of Medical School, went to Chicago and took the Clinical Skills part of the big boards that he has to take before applying to residencies (and PASSED IT! YAY!), has decided to be a Pathologist (most likely..... he could give me a major anxiety attack and change his mind last minute... but, hey.....), and we are currently in the process of researching the Pathology Residency programs around the country and picking which ones to apply to. Steve goes to Arizona for the month of October to do a rotation at one of the Hospitals there. Hopefully he can get his foot in the door there and increase our chances of moving somewhere where frigid winters are a thing of the past.

We spent the month of July in Utah and enjoyed time with our families.  When we returned to Toledo, we found that Steve's brother, Adam, had moved in up the street from us! (ok.... so we knew he was going to be there.... but exciting none the less). He just started the Physician's Assistant program here at U of Toledo.

Robby turned TWO on August 4th (the day after we returned from Utah....... we got in our final trip of not having to pay for a plane ticket for him).

It is amazing how it seriously just comes with the age.....

And, finally, here's a little something from Robby:
