Lots of fun stuff!!

Ok, the last few weeks have been full of a ton of stuff. Where to start? I guess first, Dave's sister and her family moved from Virginia to Indianapolis (and brought Grandma with them). Eric graduated from Med school and is now an MD. He will spend a year here and then 3 years at the Mayo clinic to become an anesthesiologist. Cool hua? We are very excited to have them so close, even if it is just for a year.
The day after they got here was Caden's graduation from pre-school. He had great teachers and never complained about going to school, he loved it!! The program was extra fun because Grandma was able to be there! I can't believe he is going to be starting kindergarten in only a couple months. He is so excited and ready though!

The next day was an awards ceremony at Austin and Taylor's school. Unfortunately we have no pictures, it is all on video. Oops! The fun thing is that the boys got all the awards they could have received, from honor roll (all year) to perfect attendance. Pretty neat if you ask me!! After their ceremony we took them to a qualifying race for the Indy 500. They loved it and now want to be race car drivers...we'll see about that!
Taylor's favorite was the monster truck.
Caden absolutely loved seeing "the real" Bumlebee.
We had a lot of fun while Grandma was here. We played guitar hero, went to the zoo, went on a surrey ride around the canal downtown, went to Stir Crazy for dinner and Krispy Kreme for a treat, and had a BBQ with the cousins.
Please excuse my largeness, 8 more weeks to go, Wahoo!!!
The boys really enjoyed using chopsticks!
The best part of the last couple weeks for the boys I think was just being able to play with their cousins.
All the boys had such a fun time while Grandma was here, but I think Caden liked it the best. When he woke up and Grandma was gone he started to cry. He only got better when we told him she would be back in a few weeks when the baby is born. So sweet!
Ok, 3 more things:
Taylor found a great prize outside (it's a worm) he was thrilled that Dave actually let him "play" with it.
Dave finished up 2nd year! I can't believe how fast the last two years have gone! He did really well this year, and is now, as we speak, studying for the National Board exam, YIKES!! I know he will do great though.
During the last week of school the students participated in what they call "stab lab" can you guess what that entails? Basically they practice giving each other numbing shots, OUCH! I guess they have to learn somewhere! This is Dave giving a shot to his friend Adam. From what I hear, he did a great job!
Oh, and a little update on me:
That about covers it on my end!
