THIS PAST WEEK OUR DEAR FRIENDS THE STACEYS MOVED BACK TO ARKANSAS AFTER COMPLETING THEIR RESIDENCY AT UW HOSPITALS. WE BECAME FAST FRIENDS WITH THEM AFTER MOVING HERE TO BEGIN JEFF'S RESIDENCY. HEATH AND JEFF FIRST HIT IT OFF, BOTH BEING PLASTIC SURGERY RESIDENTS. ADRIANA AND I SOON BONDED OVER BOOKS, A LOVE OF RESTAURANTS, CHILDREN AND THE REST THEY SAY IS HISTORY. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE GONE ON TWO FAMILY VACATIONS TO DESTIN, FL, VACATIONED AS COUPLES IN LAS VEGAS, WENT ON A VARIETY OF SMALL ROAD TRIPS TO MILWAUKEE AND CHICAGO, HAD BACKYARD BBQS AND ATE COUNTLESS MEXICAN MEALS TOGETHER. EVEN MORE SPECIAL THE STACEYS HAVE SUPPORTED US AS WE BECAME NEW PARENTS TO CHARLOTTE AND JOSEPH, AND WE WERE ABLE TO REJOICE WITH THEM AS WHITMAN AND MARY VIRGINIA (FRATERNAL TWINS) CAME INTO THIS WORLD ON MARCH 31, 2010. WE WILL MISS THESE SPECIAL FRIENDS SO MUCH. MADISON JUST WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT THEM! WE THANK THE LORD FOR ALLOWING US TO MEET THEM DURING OUR TIME HERE AND FOR CULTIVATING SUCH A SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN US.
"YOU HAD ME AT HELLO."
ADRI AND ANNALISE WERE AMONG CHARLOTTE'S FIRST VISITORS, AND HAVE PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN HER YOUNG LIFE. NOT TO MENTION KEEPING OUR DAUGHTER CLOTHED IN SUCH FASHIONABLE OUTFITS; MOST OF CHAR'S CLOTHES ARE BEAUTIFUL HAND-ME-DOWNS FROM LISE. EACH MORNING, CHAR PROUDLY ANNOUNCES "LISE CLOTHES" OR "LISE SHOES." :)
DADDY LOOK-A-LIKESTHIS PICTURE IS ONE OF OUR FAVS. IT WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE ONE OF OUR FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANTS. BOTH GIRLS BEAR A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO THEIR FATHERS.
LAST DAYS IN MADISON
WATCHING THE GIRL'S RELATIONSHIP OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS HAS BEEN VERY SPECIAL. IT HAS GONE IN STAGES, FROM ANNALISE ADORING CHARLOTTE AS AN INFANT, TO CHARLOTTE BEING OLD ENOUGH TO CHASE ANNALISE AROUND THE HOUSE. WE LOVE TO HEAR THESE GIRLS GIGGLE TOGETHER!
MOVING DAY
A QUICK GOOD-BYE BEFORE OUR FRIENDS SET OUT ON A LONG TRIP DOWN SOUTH. WE WILL NEVER FORGET OPENING THE FRONT DOOR TO A SAD FOUR-YEAR-OLD AS SHE ANNOUNCED SHE WAS LEAVING MADISON TO MOVE TO ARKANSAS. I'M VERY THANKFUL TO HAVE CAUGHT THEIR DEPARTURE HUG!
WE LOVE YOU HEATH, ADRI, LISE, MARY VIRGINIA AND WHIT! WE CAN'T WAIT TO VISIT YOUR NEW HOME.
