Summer Update

Rhett is continuing on through his last year of med school. Really busy and starting applications for residency. Everyone asks which specialty he's going into, including me. Last time we discussed it he said: "Jess, my decision isn't final until I click "SUBMIT" on the application." He has narrowed it to three choices so that is progress. I've made a guess at which of the three it will be and so we'll see if I'm right when he chooses to click submit. He finished a rotation in Newborn ICU and is currently in a family practice rotation.

Me. Jessica. The mom. Nothing too new. I've been sewing a lot and that has been fun for me. Harvest season is starting and we'll be canning/freezing beans, corn, raspberries, making jam, applesauce and everything. Harvest is a busy time of year so that will probably be the majority of the activities going on soon. I'm thinking of starting a little Kelly Farmer's Market for when we get sick of a certain produce item and want to sell the leftovers....so my mom and I don't have to can it. Also enjoying summer with the little boy. He is not a baby anymore. He turned 12 months and sprinted right into the Terrible Two stage. I'm hoping it will end sooner since he started it sooner. He's been such the perfect baby, but now he is challenging and I've never felt so stupid, inadequate, overwhelmed, and impatient, which I guess is what being a mom is all about and I'm hoping to get in a groove soon with the new behavioral challenges. He's still cute though.

RJ. Loves to run around and rough-house. Learning lots of new words and signs. A little independent, stubborn personality erupted. He knows what he wants, but needs to learn how to communicate it. He loves games and playing. He's a smart little guy and loves to give really tight hugs around your neck. His favorite food is pasta. We love him.
