Happy 7th Birthday, Zoe!
What a year! Six was so great. And what a trooper this kid is. She survived med school with me, then seamlessly transitioned to residency. I credit all the loving support we have. Plus I think she likes her Dad. They’re playing a lot of games, reading books, watching Adventure Time, practicing softball and soccer, […]

Having outgrown her shell…
Zoe has generously agreed to pass down her car seat for 5 – 40 pounds to our friend who will have a little girl in April. But not before taking it for one last spin. While preparing lunch, I heard a bumbling commotion, and I saw her attempting to climb into her lofted dining chair […]

After a long absence
Family medicine, dermatology, spring break, ob/gyn, and now psych. That’s what I’ve been doing. A brief report: great, great, great, great, MIIIIIPPP (so far). Don’t worry – I journaled along the way for humanities, and wrote down about a hundred other things I’d like to write, if ever I have the time, which I won’t, […]

Zoe’s five year stats
02.27.12 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI’ve enjoyed being able to search my site for the details, since unlike many of the children I saw in the county pediatric clinic, Zoe isn’t locked into a system with what you would call continuity of care. I’m keeping track, though, and I guess she has been to the same pediatrician since she was […]

A Lovely Birthday Valentine

Clumsy
Here’s what just happened: A curly-headed blur zoomed past me as I carried the dog’s full bowl of water to his tray. Zoe, don’t run with a pen, please. It’s dangerous. “It’s not a pen, and anyway I was skipping with it. It’s my pencils.” ALRIGHT WELL WHATEVER YOU’RE RUNNING WITH STOP IT AND WALK […]

Teleos and teratomata
We have a new niece, and she is gorgeous. I got to hold her, and I suppose it’s safe from 271 miles away to admit that anyone other than family would have to fight me with a weapon to surrender her because holding newborns is definitely in my top three activities. Not sure what the […]

She’s just Zoe
Can we believe Zoe is three years old? Last Friday we headed to the Great White North – Dallas had claimed a record 12 inches of snow – to visit Grandma Shirley and Uncle Dan who were in town from Minnesota; as a result, Zoe had eight grown people to fawn over her in person […]
