Pati and Anne enjoy alot of the same things right now. Which pretty much means they play together and bicker a bit. Somehow Pati got into the drivers seat and there was no pushing her out. She is close to the same size as Anne so Anne doesn't have much of a chance.
Grandpa Carne and Grandmaria made it out to Ohio for our first real week of summer weather. It was fun to have them and the kids are already talking about next time. Growing up I always lived nearby my grandparents and I figured that I was the luckiest little girl in the world to be able to live within walking distance of them. It has been good to discover, though, that kids remember more than you give them credit for. Even though we do not get to see any set of grandparents or cousins or aunts and uncles on a daily or weekly basis, the kids remember them all with a fierce sense of family and ownership and it never seems as though it has been very long since we have seen them.
David is in the middle of a plastic surgery rotation. He is home more than he was last month,(hooray!) but the hours are unpredictable. He takes beeper call from home which means that he might get to sleep at home, but it also means that he might not. Last night it meant that he didn't. So he is spending his Father's Day trying to catch up on sleep since he is also on call today and tonight. The only really bad thing about home beeper call is that it does not actually count toward your hours, so even if you spend the night working at the hospital, you are required to function as though you didn't. At least it is the weekend and he just had to round this morning instead of staying until suppertime. He made it home for some lunch and I hope his beeper keeps quiet for a few more hours.
