Weekend Happenings

A quick glance at our weekend happenings.

Greg has the day off on Friday, so after the bike rodeo, and getting my hair done we headed out to the mall and dinner as a family. The girls had gotten gift cards from Claire's for Easter, from their Nana & Papa, and had been dying to use them. I took them shopping while Greg occupied Maryn, and did a little shopping on his own. Mackenzi & Maci had a hard time deciding what to get, even so much that Mackenzi bought something and then exchanged it for a watch within just a few minutes. Maci got a pair of Hollywood sunglasses and a pink hair thingy. They were surely in their element, and are already asking to go back to spend the leftover money.

Reagan and Mackenzi

Mackenzi had a swim meet, early Saturday morning. We left our house before 7 a.m. and headed downtown to the Nadatorium that the meet was at. She was entered in 3 events. The 50 yard freestyle, the 50 yard backstroke, and the 50 butterfly. She got 1st in all of her heats, but when the results came out in age groups, she got 1st in the freestyle, and 2nd in both backstroke and butterfly. We are so proud of her and her desire to do her best. Great job Kenz!

Mackenzi & Mom

Greg was on trauma call on Saturday, but was lucky enough to get away to watch part of Mackenzi's swim meet. He then went back in to work but was again not too busy that hw could escape so we could attend the Alamo Orthopedic Society dinner. They have this every two years and is becoming more and more of a reunion for the people who trained here in San Antonio. We took the girls with us and they had a room set up at the Resort for allof the kids. They fed them and played games. The girls had a blast but all fell asleep on the way home.

The girls at our table: Joanna, Tracy, Katrin, Melanie, & Me

It was fun to see past residents and their wives and to get advice on practices and what not. It is to great to get together with the residents that are still here now and their wives. It is always nice to see and talk with some of the staff we hear so much about. Being the spouse, you always here stories about them but rarely see them in person, so it is always fun to put a face with the story. We had a great time chatting, catching up, and listening to the stories that we have heard over and over again. I hadn't laughed so hard in a long while. It is so funny to hear so many people tell the same stories that have been circulating year after year. I am already excited for the next meeting and reunion that will be in 2009. Hopefully more people will come each time. (Hint, Hint- Bridget & Jim!!)

Most of the residents & past residents and Dr. Corley.
