La Chatelaine

Last night we had one of our first meetings of the new year (since Doctor's years are July-June). We met at La Chatelaine Restaurant and Bakery in Dublin and had some delicious desserts and drinks! We invited the new spouses as well as some spouses of attending physicians - and had almost 25 people! It was really fun - and besides some loud music - I think everyone really enjoyed themselves!

Fresh Faces

Yesterday we were able to get our pictures taken from our dear friend, Melissa (www.melissajonesphotography.com or melissajonesphotography.blogspot.com). Evelyn was not in a great mood for picture taking - but Melissa did managed to snap one decent one. Gavin was hamming it up. Here are 2 of the pics she took - but more importantly - SHE IS HAVING A CONTEST ON HER BLOG - so go vote. Gavin is #22 and Evie is #23. But there are tons of super cute kids - so vote carefully!

Ortho BBQ

Last night the new chiefs for Patrick's Ortho residency held a BBQ (at our favorite Homestead Park) to welcome the 5 new guys (3 new interns and 2 adopted residents from a program that got shut down). It was great to see everyone, and despite the off and on rain, we had a blast! Gavin got to play with some old friends, Daddy got to talk to a bunch of people, and mommy got to catch up with the girls. We had delicious food and even whipped out the fishing poles and caught a HUGE fish (so big, I couldn't even reel it in on the Lightning McQueen rod - we had to manually pull the string in ourselves). It is so nice to see the residents hanging out outside of work, and is a great indicator for the year to come!
