Match

The big day came for Jerry. The biggest day in medical school next to graduation. The day you find out if you matched to a residency. Jerry matched to his first pick, Anesthesia in Dayton, Ohio. What a crazy day it was. It started with happiness and then ended in sorrow. His grandmother passed that morning as well. We are sad she's gone and will not get to see Jerry accomplish this amazing journey. We will miss her deeply.

Random photos

Bel actually took this photo of Jerry. She likes taking pics and is pretty good for her age. Hence his cheesy smile!

She doesn't like it when I put things on her head, she did let papa put this hat on her for a short while.

Papa and his girls after work.

Our Christmas pics

Here are a few pics from our Christmas shoot, along with Sophie's 9 months pics. I love the one with Jerry and the girls. He always takes great pics with them.

Halloween

Bel is learning sign language, so she is signing "candy". Sophie fell asleep after 3 houses.
