Psychiatry!

We are officially applying for PSYCHIATRY residency!!! It has taken a LOT of effort to come to this decision; I think we have explored all the possibilities and after it all we are SO excited to be moving forward with this decision. Brett is planning to do a child & adolescent psychiatry fellowship as well so that he can see both adults and kids. We don't know where we want to do residency yet... one huge decision at a time I suppose.

More family happenings include Brett getting called to the Sunday school presidency, me starting choir again (we're working on The Hunchback of Notre Dame the musical and I'm excited!!!), and Ellie starting Preschool.


I think Ellie is going to have a blast being with friends and having a little more structured learning time. We normally just play all. day. long. and Mom's imagination is on the fritz hah. I'm also excited to have a little more one on one time with Miss Adelaide :)

Adelaide had her 6 month check up today and... she gained weight!! We've been struggling with this for the last couple months so it was a relief to see her up on the growth curve. She has also started some baby food and she'll just about anything but she's extra excited about pears.

Also, hurricane Harvey happened. I'll admit that I underestimated what Harvey's impact on Houston and my family's suburb of Kingwood would be. I knew what it was like to live through Rita & Ike and expected something similar. (green belts flooded, no power for about a week, fallen trees and branches to clean up in the road, etc.) I did not anticipate major streets being completely submerged so that you can only travel by boat, or that my high school and friends' homes would be completely flooded. The Houston Temple where Brett and I were married has flooded. Luckily my family members homes are dry and they have been in a position to help others in the community. I think it will take time and a lot of work after the water recedes to rip out of the damage and rebuild what has been lost.
