• Doctor Noah and Doctor Sarah at Work

    It has been awhile since we’ve taken out our doctor play box. The other day Ms. CP remembered about it and we got it out of her closet. I figured they would probably do some medical work on dolls or stuffed animals, but oh no, they had bigger and better…

  • A Cold, Cold Sleigh Ride

    Each year on the second weekend in February the residency programs at our hospital sponsor a sleigh ride through the woods. Any residents and families who want to attend meet at a warming house in the country and take a horse drawn sleigh ride through the woods. It is one…

  • Introduction to Plumbing

    Meet my new, very expensive pipes. They reside under my kitchen sink. We came back from our house hunting trip on Wednesday and turned on the faucet to the kitchen sink to note that there was no water running into the sink. I looked down, and there was a lot…

  • Keeping me Busy

    Here are some random things I’ve done since you last heard from me: — I mixed glue, liquid cornstarch and blue food coloring together to make a putty sort of like silly putty, but more like that slimy stuff called GAK that my little brother used to play with. It…
