Today was Brandon's first official day as a doctor and he starts his rotations with OB/GYN. I got a text message around 11:30 this morning that he had already delivered a baby. They are set to have about 120 deliveries this month, which would be a record if it happens. We'll just have to see! The next few months are going to be long and busy for him, but he's looking forward to it.

It was also mine and the kids first day alone with Brandon at work. I was prepared for a really long, hard day since it was supposed to rain all day. (I've learned sometimes it's better to expect things to be really hard or bad and then whatever happens seems great.) Thankfully we had a really great day. I thought I'd share some of the particularly funny things that happened:

Christopher wanted to go for a walk when the rained stopped briefly and once we got around the corner 2 jets flew overhead. He gets VERY excited about this and always jumps up and down trying to catch them and yells, "Gotcha!!!!" It is hilarious to see and difficult to not laugh out loud. While I was laughing I said, "I love it!" to which Christopher followed with, "I love it too!"

Later, while I was doing the many piles of laundry that had piled up we found a dead roach under the cabinet. Christopher sees it and I tell him to not touch it. Next thing I know he has gone to get his shoe and starts to hit it over and over again trying to kill a bug that is already dead. This happens again hours later when we find a beetle that has also already died, but he doesn't realize it. If I can only get him to do that to the live ones.

Hopefully the next few days will go just as smoothly and with just as much humor.
