Last night of call and Beachtime fun

Last night the 6 senior residents took call together for the very last time (at least as residents!) We had an aboslutely fantastic night. We got to do a few deliveries, a couple of c/sections, and lots of food and fun. Fortunately it was a pretty slow night, so we got to enjoy the time together. The senior residents with the Colonel. Dr. Salminen was my attending for my very first c/s 4 long years ago! He has taught many many residents and is a fantastic teacher.

With one of our very favorite labor and delivery nurses, Diane

Another one of our favorite attendings, Dr. Boyle

The Seniors - do we look ready to graduate or what?

We also have been spending a LOT of time at the beach the last couple of weeks. This is a dream come true for Juneau, but rather nightmareish for her less adventurous sister. Nova DESPISES sand. she hates everything about sand. she hates when she has to stand or sit on the sand, and even when sand just touches anywhere on her body. I thought after spending so much time at the beach this month she would get over it, especially since we haven't really been catering to her demands in regard to the issue. but she still screams her head off. We got an little floaty , and she tolerated sitting in that on the sand, as long as she wasn't actually touching the sand. ridiculous. Anyway, aside from that little issue, we have been having a great few weeks. Tomorrow the packing and shipping begins, then next week we check into a hotel. Fun times are ahead! Juneau wiped out after a long day at the beach

Every girl's worst nightmare

Nova happy on her float (on the cement, mind you)

Nova Unhappy on the sand

Nova tolerating the sand, as long as her skin didn't touch it.

Juneau thought she was a big girl when these girls were playing with her in the water
