“TRUST ME, I’M A DOCTOR.”

Well, not quite. But it is our favorite quote from the Dr Pepper commercials.

Funny story… Christian apparently had a “White Coat Ceremony” which I knew NOTHING about (not so funny). I had to basically puuuulll the information out of him to attend. If you know my husband, he’s not big into fru-fru events. He even thought the event was optional. So basically the week of the ceremony we got the “invite” (we, being the kids and I) and so Saturday we celebrated a special occasion. The donning of the white coat. We got all spiffied up and along with Christian’s parents attended the event in the Memorial building. We were one of the few people who had small children. It was quite a task at keeping them all quiet and well behaved, but they did great and even exceeded my expectations. We heard a few speakers and then the medical students went up in groups and each had their coat placed upon them by a doctor/mentor from UNC. Interesting fact… This year UNC had 4,000 applicants. They interviewed a little over 500 of them. There are currently 170 medical students attending their first year including my husband. Pretty awesome.

Waiting for it to begin. We arrived about 10 min early and got really good seats about 4 rows from the front and to the right.

And here HE comes!!

Afterwards we went outside and took a few pictures. The kids were happy to finally get out and run around. Christian is known for being the guy with 4 kids in med school. They all think we’re nuts… and they got to see it first hand.

 

LIFE AS WE KNOW IT

THIS is where we live:

THIS is what we do most of the day (it’s Toy Story, if you can’t tell. Landen is OBSESSED):

OUR ATTEMPT AT A FAMILY PICTURE

We have NEVER been good at capturing that “perfect” family picture. My dear friend Christy was kind enough to capture one for us while taking pictures at my brother’s wedding reception. It’s always fun to see the ones that didn’t quite make the cut. Our blog picture up top is the one that turned out the best and I’m totally happy to have it… especially since we may not get another chance while Christian is in Medical School. Thank you Christy!!

Without further ado…

This picture is ALMOST perfect if Kalea had kept her head raised a bit higher.

Everyone was super cooperative again in the picture. But we definitely have a DIVA on our hands. Landen is also bear hugging himself.

My personal favorite. And would also be kind of hilarious to put up on a large canvas on our wall. This kid is an ANIMAL!!
