My first vacation of residency

We have made it through the first 2.5 months of my residency...which coincides with my first vacation and after this last week I am definitely ready! As I eluded to, I am working nights this month, which is terribly disorientating and has resulted in me being significantly sleep deprived. I hope to catch up on some sleep (and blogging) while back in Minnesota. My brother, Josh, is getting married this weekend - on Troy and my 6th anniversary. We are looking forward to some fun times to come!

In the mean time, here's an update with some pictures:

These first two are our day trip to the Denver zoo (about 5 miles from our house). We have annual passes for us and a couple of guests so if you come visit we can take you!

Below are the kids enjoying our bath in our room with jets and lots of bubbles.

And the kids when we were getting ready to go swimming one day.
And playing at the park. This was Sierra's first time in a swing...she was giddy. :)

There will be more to come of our vacation in MN, but yesterday we got a good one of Sierra sitting on the counter with Papa, and a cute one with her decked out in her denim to go out on the town (aka Wabasso.)

For non-picture updates, Troy and Thayden have wanted a truck for years now, and I finally lost the battle this past week as they traded the camry for an Escalade. When Thayden came out of school and saw it in the parking lot he yelled "Daddy you bough the truck?!? Is that ours?" And jumped up and down and squealed. It did make the 13 hour drive home a little more roomy which was nice. At one point in Nebraska Sierra was fussing and Thayden was singing "Have patience, have patience, have patience." It was pretty cute. Sierra loves her big brother lots. And lastly, Sierra has strabismus (crossing her eyes) and we recently visited the ophthalmologist. She will likely have to have surgery after a few months to correct it. I think that's about it for now - we're just looking forward to the upcoming wedding! Yay!
