We celebrated Davey’s 2nd birthday today. Carolyn made a balloon cake at Davey’s request, and we managed to find him some helium balloons which were a blast. He’s been pretty excited about his birthday for the last few weeks and knows that he’s turned “two.” We sang through Happy Birthday a few times and Davey blew the candle out more than once. In the end the candle got back at him and singed some of his eyelashes but Davey didn’t seem to mind. So we begin with the terrible twos .

We went to our 3rd Olmsted County Fair last week and wandered around avoiding the dirty animals (I’m on infectious diseases right now and animal exposures just don’t mesh, especially with a pregnant woman). We ended up paying a fortune for one carnival game (and winning nothing) and letting the kids ride one ride exorbitantly priced ride (see the video) Fair food included a berry smoothy, mini-donuts, some chili fries, and the much loved turkey drumstick that Davey is still pointing and screaming “CHICKEN!” as I’m writing this right now. The seen but not tried disgusting wagon of the fair is the donut cheeseburgers that looked absolutely disgusting. The collage here sums up the pictures until I can upload a new gallery, but click the collage of a very big view.

An early morning sunrise in Nassau, The Bahamas overlooking the port and silhouetting The Atlantis Resort on Paradise island to the left. One of my favorite vistas of the trip.
The Blue Lagoon in the Bahamas was one of our day excursions during spring break and I took a change to snap a few pictures of the back beach before anyone got over there. Here’s a panorama of the results.
We’ve just tidied up the video page a little to make it more user friendly. You can check it out here: http://www.danandcarolyn.info/videos/ , in the meantime we’re updating our gallery with our Spring Break videos as well as everything between then and Mikey’s 4th Birthday videos (soon). Latest videos are displayed on the side bar, but just because the video changed doesn’t mean that it’s the only one updated, make sure to check out the playlist for all the videos in between your last visit. Enjoy!
So this year being probably our last ‘break’ for a while to come (no summer break for me this year, chalk that up to another upcoming licensing exam, followed immediately by 4th year rotations, then residency applications and another interview circuit come later this fall-winter and then intern year + only scheduled vacation time in the future), we decided to splurge a bit and had a mini family reunion with my sister’s family in Orlando, Florida. Instead of globe-trotting without the family (Europe, China), I finally got the chance to bring the whole family in tow and boy did we make the most of it! In the end I’d say we had an awesome adventure. To come will be my Spring Break 2010 entries with more details by the location of our travels in Florida and the Bahamas. In the meantime you can peruse the plethora of pictures that are already posted. Stay tuned!
It seems like there are really only a handful of snowfalls here in Minnesota. Sure when they come they dump a few feet of snow, but really I’m only remembering a real snowfall only three maybe four times this season. What’s different about Minnesota is that the snow here sticks, and it sticks all season long. Just like the sedimentary layers of the limestone that make up most of the bedrock here, the layers of winter have started gently melting away and I think we’ve uncovered the snow from the first snowfall this season. It’s a good thing too because for the life of us we haven’t been able to roll a snowball all season as the weather has been too cold, only making that squeaky snow that falls apart in your hands. We finally made a snowman the other day (see the video), and decided to go out for a walk by the Zumbro River just yesterday. Here are some pictures that came from our little adventure or in our winter sediment.
Alike others who find themselves free on a quiet weekend, I like to break out my toolkit for a little weekend home project. But unlike the hammer and nails that go onto a door frame, or the brush and blade that retouches a wall, I turn to my digital utilities and rummage through some of our old photos to let loose some of my right brain that has been largely confined in its use in my adventures in doctoring. I’m currently transitioning between a neurology clerkship and heading into psychiatry next for three weeks. Hope you enjoy my weekend results:
