Quick update on us. With a quick video. Oklahoma is getting a bit hot - not too muggy yet, but definitely starting to heat up. We can see why houses have garages here - not only to protect against the monster hail, but so that you don't have to let your car roast in the heat all day long, then get into it. Still, the humidity's not bad, so I can't complain that much.
We're meeting new people and getting settled in - the ward we've been going to is full of people in our same position and has been very welcoming. We hung out the other night with some other families who are in the anesthesia program here, and they are real nice. We can't wait to get to know them and others better.
Jake is getting the crawling thing going a little better, still lacks some coordination, though. And he's cutting a few bottom teeth, so that makes him much more pleasant. We can't believe how quickly he's doing everything; especially considering that he was born a month early, and is not quite 6 months old yet. It's a little scary.
Abby is having fun playing outside and making new friends. We did make some friends in the ward and in the program here, and she likes their kids, too. She keeps asking when she can hang out with her new friends. It's a little different when all of your friends don't live just a few doors away :( But she's adjusting well.
Jodi has had some interviews and some offers. She will pretty much be able to pick where she wants to work, just needs to decide on what she's wanting to do more. She is making nice with the other wives in our ward - it's fun to watch how people initially react to her, as outgoing as she is, but then to see how they are just naturally drawn to her. She is so amazing with people. I know I am lucky to have her.
I start orientation tomorrow. So the vacation's over - back to work. Except, this time, it really is work and I'll be getting paid for it. Sweet! We found out that of the 12 people in our class, 4 of us are LDS. We have met two of them, and they are awesome. The 4th has been elusive, but he can't hide forever. It's pretty nuts that there are so many of us, but it'll be great. We had a barbecue with the majority of the incoming interns today, as well as the outgoing interns so they could tell us what to expect. I think it was supposed to make us feel better. Not sure how well it worked, though - I'm still pretty nervous. But I'll jump in with both feet and go full steam ahead. Nervous, but really excited, too.
Abby and Jake enjoying a show
He looks a little confused, but he usually is.
Big noggin.
Here's a video of Jake figuring out how to crawl. Enjoy.
