Mid-July

It's been 2 months since our last post. It's been a very busy time!

We went to KC/Lawrence for a week in the end of July. We first went to Katie's cousin's wedding the first Saturday we were there. Katie and I got to dress up.


We went to a Royal's baseball game with the Thomas family (well, most of them). We got nice tickets that included food/drink in them, so we all had lots of good stadium food.

We then hooked up with the Buschelmans minus Eric, and went to the Great Wolf Lodge. We got a "kid's cabin" room with a special area for the kids to sleep in. Most of the kids loved it...Will did NOT (hence him being in the background for this picture).

We went back and forth to Lawrence, but finally ended up in KCK for Fr Scott's ordination. I was the first reader, and it was one of the most special moments of my life. We are all so happy to finally have him be a priest.

We went back to Lawrence to celebrate Peter's first birthday. Jen Vogrin made the cake which looked and tasted great. Peter approved!

We had a nice Father's Day in June. Peter was in a very silly mood, so we got lots of good pictures of him such as below

I finished neurology residency in June. There was a nice graduation party for which my parents came up.

Unfortunately we got a flat tire; Mary Ann got a hands-on tutorial!

We finally took the plunge and took the kids on their first camping trip. Katie and I had been wanting to do this for a long time, but there was always a reason to shy away from it before. So many of our pre-kid memories are from camping trips (Utah, Yellowstone, Missouri State Parks) and we have so much camping gear that we finally pulled the trigger. The park we went to was nice...except WAY too many mosquitos. Poor Peter was eaten alive. Overall we learned some better ways to camp.

Finally, we just had some Salina relatives visit us. Marina, Jen, Ashley and Meghan all drove up from Kansas to spend an extended weekend. We had lots of fun times, boating twice, going to the Farmer's Market, going to a pool. The best part was Mary Ann's and Rose's first soccer game. They played on separate teams with games right after the other. Mary Ann's team was on fire, shutting out the other team. Rose's team played a team mostly with kids a year older. They only scored one goal, but Rose scored that goal! It was 2 hours in the hot sun, but it was much more exciting than we had feared. The time actually went by fairly quickly. Both girls did a great job and seem to have natural talent. Next game next Sunday!
