It's official....

We recently found out officially that Kirk was accepted to his 2nd fellowship in foot and ankle surgery in Cleveland, Ohio. While I am not thrilled about the location I am so proud of him for getting this fellowship and working so hard to specialize. What is another year when you have been training for 15 years since high school!
As of right now it looks like we will be headed back to KC after his fellowships for him to start working! I am very excited to finally be settled down and not have to move around anymore!

Jake's 2nd birthday


My sweet Jake turned 2 on March 25th. These first 2 years have absolutely flown by. Jake is such a sweet little boy and I am honored to be his mom. Here is what he is up to recently.
- He is still very active. We visit the park 1-2 times daily.
- He is very social and loves to play with other kids.
- He is a little bit of a late talker, but recently his vocabulary is really picking up.
- Still loves trains!
- Loves cars too!
- Is an awesome sleeper. Sleeps from 8pm-7am. Usually takes a 3 hour nap in the afternoon (I know I am lucky!)
- Is a very fast runner. I have to run to keep up with him at the park, which is a little tricky holding a baby at the same time!
- Loves his brother. I can't wait until they can play together more. Jake is very gentle and loving towards him.
- Knows his ABC's.
- Knows most of his colors.
- Hates to brush his teeth.
- We recently discovered that he will eat pretty much anything as long as he has ketchup to dip it in. This includes all fruit, peanut butter sandwiches, grilled cheese, quesadillas, etc.

Jake has learned so much this past year and I am so excited for his next year to see what he does. He is such a sweet little boy and we love him so much!
Here are a few pictures from his birthday party.
