Vegas Baby!

So Kristi had this great idea that Mike and Isaac fly to Vegas to meet her at a convention she was speaking at. Since our lives are always interesting, we decided why not!?! Kristi flew direct from Michigan where she was on a rotation, and the boys flew from Columbus after already spending some quality days together (sidenote; one morning Mike woke up to Isaac screaming, apparently the boy had an explosive poo and needed to have a full pit stop including a bath at 5:00 am, I'll (Mike) get him back one day for that!) As the journey began, Isaac did a great job on his first plane trip, even getting compliments on not crying. Meanwhile, I got some strange looks as the random dad taking a 3 month old to Vegas, but everybody was very willing to help (one lady even offered her breastfeeding services just in case Isaac needed a "quick pick me up"...weird!)

In Vegas, we had a fabulous time staying at the Palazzo. Kristi was very happy to see her boys and Isaac definitely missed her. He and I walked around while Kristi was at her meetings and saw the Lamborghini dealership, the shops at the Venetian, Ceasar's Palace, and lots of other cool stuff. Unfortunately they won't let you gamble with a child attached, so I saved that for later. Kristi and I also got to spend some good "date" time together and went to Spago (Wolfgang Puck's restaurant) for dessert and then to the club Tao, as we had another med student watch Isaac. The following night, all of us got to partake in dinner at one of Emeril's steakhouses, Delmonico's. Isaac did a great job of chilling in his stroller while we all ate together. It's pretty cool getting to go to different places while Kristi has to play SOMA prez.

One last tidbit, Kristi had her interview for her Dayton ENT residency tonight and we'll see how it went in a few days. Now she is off to Grand Rapids, MI for 2 days, then returns to Dayton for one day, and then off again to St. Louis for another rotation. Enjoy the pics!

I'm not afraid of heights!!!!

My first flight

1 down, 1 to go . . .

so i (kristi) just had a very interesting week. it's been hard! i had a board exam in pennsylvania wednesday. so i left Tuesday (got a $115 speeding ticket, thank you very much mr. officer of the dayton/columbus road o' many tickets, please spend your time catching REAL criminals, that's my advice) drove 9 hours to New Jersey. got to stay with some wonderful friends we met when we all lived in St. Louis AND got to see their baby which was great b/c i was missing mine!! drove 2 hours the next morning for my test in pennsylvania (craziness traffic!!) and took the test from 8-3:30. then drove another 9ish hours back home to dayton! i think God was definitely listening to my family's prayers b/c i wasn't sleepy at all. i got bored driving but i stayed awake well. i was worried about that after the stresses of driving and then taking the exam and having to think. but it went well. the hardest part were the days going up to it knowing that i was going to have to leave isaac for the first time. well, i made some dumb mistakes on this dumb test but hopefully i will just pass (it's pass/fail)!!! at least mike and isaac had some quality time. he was on call those 2 days but no patients came in so they had a nice time together at home =)

my next board exam is next friday and is in dayton, yay!

here are some 2 month pictures we took of isaac on Oct.2nd. he got his 2 month shots today (i couldn't watch) and has kind of been out of sorts. in this first one he is wearing one of mike's outfits again. we have a picture of mike at 2 months in this same outfit. isaac is a lot taller! he was in the 93rd percentile today for height at his appt. i don't think he gets that from me!!!

thanks for the cute outfit aunt steph!!
