Through the years...

While I was home I spent some time gathering photos for Matt & Anne's slideshow - in doing so I stumbled across some gems from the past that made me laugh and smile. Behold - the hair, skin, fashion, and orthodontic stages of our past - I think Baby F will certainly have some good laughs at his or her parent's expense one day!

Pitt + AL + Houston

Pittsburgh
Several weeks ago Walker and I made the quick trip to Pittsburgh for a mini-med-school reunion. Somehow Fran, ML, and myself each had the same weekend off, and with Pitt being pretty much midway between Cincy and DC, we certainly took advantage! Fran generously played host to all of us in her trendy apartment which only added to the fun.
The face you may not recognize belongs with Fran, and he gained everyone's wholehearted approval pretty much instantly.

Long drive south.
Long being the key word here. My drive to Montgomery only furthered my dislike for long road trips and my subsequent love for flying. Conveniently, I did get to make several fun stops along the way in Nashville and Birmingham - including time with long-time best buds Christy and Jennifer, college roomies Krisha and Krisan, and another mini-med-school reunion with Meg and Stacey. My destination was Montgomery, and it brought quick but wonderful time with family to celebrate Matt & Anne. I'm so thankful I was able to attend their fabulous Engagement Dinner and spend some time with them before the upcoming nuptials in June.

Cannon is here!
And conveniently decided to make his appearance while I was out in Houston visiting the Elliott clan. As evidenced by the photos below, those two clearly have no problems producing attractive children, and Cannon fits right in with his beautiful sibs. It was an experience I will not soon forget, and many thanks to Reid and Claire for letting me be a part of things!

I'm now back in Cincy, reunited with my hard-working-ready-for-busy-season-to-be-over husband, and ready to enjoy my last few days of vacation before returning to reality. Thanks to all who made my visit to TN/AL/TX so wonderful!
