Welcome Finian James Opie!

My best friend Elizabeth had her second little boy this past weekend! He was a week early just like his brother, Wilder, and Mom and Finn are doing great!  Bryan went over the the Opie house around 1 am on Sunday morning to hang with Wilder and Jason was home with good news by 6 am!  Finn has a full head of dark hair and so far has been a great sleeper and wonderful baby!  I feel so fortunate to be sharing these precious moments with our families!  Finn and Miles are 8 months apart and Miles and Wilder are about 10...We are in for some fun times and I am sure loads of trouble!!!

Along with that excitement, our family visited the zoo last weekend.  This trip was even more fun than the last for Miles, he was excited to see all of the animals.  The Children's zoo had goats, pigs, sheep, birds, monkeys...he loved it!  We also rode the Carousel and Miles hung on for dear life!  When the ride stopped and his horse (actually a goose I think) stopped bobbing up and down, he was not too happy about it! But we quickly moved on and he got over it quick!

Bryan started his Family Medicine rotation this past week and his schedule has been fairly nice and consistent!  He is here helping me in the mornings before work which is so great!  He works right across the street from me so we are able to meet for lunch on the days I am working.  Needless to say I kind of like seeing more of him!!  Bryan and I even got to go to a Thunder game this week thanks to some generous friends!!

We are waiting to hear about his away rotations in the Fall, but we are hoping he will spend a month in Chicago  probably around September and a month in Little Rock in November.  That is still up in the air and I will let everyone know specific dates when we know.  My schedule will be changing this summer to allow Miles and I to travel too!  Many of you are confused about this schedule...join the club! The most important time frame for us will be next March when we find out where Bryan will match for residency.  Then he will start there in July 2013.  Please keep us in your prayers that God will direct our path!  We have a sense of peace about it because we know we will end up where we are meant to be!

Miles has been doing so many cool things this past week! Along with becoming more mobile, he is starting to really play and follow commands.  I put a toy under 3 cups the other morning and I swear he picked the right one every time!!  We also have been playing with bubbles outside and he thinks that is absolutely amazing!  We are having so much fun!

We are planning our Summer trip this week and will be in Chicago June 16-22 for all of our Chi town friends and family!  Then off to Maine to see Cami and Roshan get married!  It will be a nice vacation and Miles will get to meet a ton of family!  We can't wait!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  Bryan is running his first half marathon Sunday so we will be cheering him on!  Love you all!! xoxo
