Father's Day

Father's day this year started off with a bang.  It marked the beginning of Rick's last year of residency.  We had a big Father's day breakfast, which Rick insisted on making.  And then we were off to the BNI graduation.  


Rick's a wonderful father and we loved celebrating him.

Brooke's husband Mark is a year ahead of Rick.  Brooke is one of many friends here at the BNI who've made residency possible.  Brooke warned me about the transition from sixth year to chief year: from Rick having a "normal" schedule to the usual crazy schedule that comes with his career.  Oh man was she right!  There has definitely been an adjustment but at least I had been warned.

Father's Day of course has me thinking of my own father.  I feel blessed to have been raised by such a loving and selfless father.  One of the things I love about my dad is that he "gets" Matthew.  It's great when he is around because I get a break from the craziness that comes from having kids.
