ONE. YEAR. OLD.

HOW does time go by so quickly??

I feel like this was just yesterday. 

Mommy needs a Kleenex.

A year ago, a perfect little bundle of joy made me a mom, and in that instant my life changed forever. It's been the best year of my life. I've watched and cheered for so many firsts, I've rocked and sang through many hours of the nights, I've worried over the smallest things, I've laughed and made the silliest noises, and most importantly, each and every day for 365 days, I've thanked God for giving me this amazing, happy, silly, bundle of energy to love. Elliott, you make my heart so happy.

Happy First Birthday, Elliott Beau Dreier!!

You are the best thing to ever happen to us. It's been a year full of happiness, smiles, and love.

You have blessed us beyond words and we love you more than you will ever know!

You are our greatest adventure, buddy. 

We've had a fun month, a really fun birthday party, and adorable one year pictures taken!

Elliott showed up to his own party fast asleep but once he woke up he had a blast eating and playing. We saved the cake for that evening since we knew it would need to be followed with a bath.

This year has been such a fun adventure and exceeded all our dreams of parenthood.

        

              

        

Rotation Recap: Family Medicine

I told Tony that he should journal after each rotation so he can look back at all the pro's and cons. I don't know if he'll actually do it, but I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts....
after all, one of these will be the career path he chooses!

Family Medicine:
He loved it. Good hours. Weekends. Lots of patients with lots of different things; everything from brand new little babies, to pregnancy checks, to elderly diabetics.
For many reasons, I'm pretty sure this is exactly what he wants to do.

Do I think this will be his career?
Yes, probably so! (We sure hope there's a good residency spot in Tulsa!)
