A Digital Christmas Card…

I’ve started receiving Christmas cards from old friends and family members with cute pictures and yearly updates. I realize that Abraham and I have never sent Christmas cards. I’m not planning to start but I was recently perusing pictures from the past year and I guess I could share some of those.

So here is your digital card of sorts…

In 2012 we survived

Birthdays (getting older and into those ages that aren’t quite so fun to mention)…

050

Medical school Match Day (and long days on Neurosurgery…can you see how tired I look? This picture is in the morning, about 9 hours after I had arrived at work that morning)…

090

Graduation (after 8 years and two doctorate degrees later)…

And expecting to “survive” a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year (even when on-call!).

Wishing you the same (minus the on-call part).

Thanks Jeanette. I admit I stalk you on FB at times! Hope you guys are doing well. Thanks so much for checking in and saying hi. That's part of the reason I blog, to keep connected with old friends! Best wishes to your family this Christmas.
