Summer 2012

After we moved into our house we spent the rest of the summer unpacking, swimming, going to Sea World, riding the train at the zoo, hanging out at home, playing with the water table, and hanging out with friends. We are lucky enough to have friends that moved here with us from Maryland that live super close. 

Jared's internal medicine rotation has 2 parts. The first 6 weeks are out-patient so it's clinic hours, write-ups, and weekly paper. He was home between 5-6 and would spend Friday's working on his paper. He had weekends off which was extremely nice. The other 6 weeks is in-patient. So he is working in the hospital.  His hours have not been the best. He still has the papers due each week and then a shelf exam that he takes at the end of the 12 weeks. The in-patient has been harder on us girls. He works 6 long long days and has one day off, add his calling in the Elders Quorum Presidency and he is one busy man.  He handles everything so well. He would come home every night totally exhausted but made sure to play with the girls for a little bit. He starts Pediatrics on Monday and we are all excited for the change. We are hoping we will have the weekends to spend time together. 

Mckenna loves to play the piano

hallee shared a bite of her ice cream with her 

we met friends at the library and park you can tell by Hallee's red face that it was very hot. I stopped at McDonalds and got her a ice cream to help cool her off. 

She was nice to share with kenna

we got hallee a little tikes car and she is in heaven. She loves it! Mckenna loves it as well. Hallee will push her  around or get on top and I push them around.

hallee loves to have her mckenna hide in the cupboards, and under blankets. 

We spent a lot of time at Sea World with friends. I was never brave enough to bring my camera to take pictures of our fun adventures. The girls love it and are troopers. Hallee does really well and is such a good girl. We have had a fun summer. It was a scorcher here in Texas but everybody says if you can make it through the summer you will love it here! Let's hope they are right!
