The END OF THE YEAR P-A-R-T-Y!

Well, I graduated this weekend - sort of. I will have to make up some time that I missed, so I wont really finish for a few more months. But I was nominated for TDC Resident of the Year so I figured I better go. Plus I did want to walk with my class, been through a lot with those people! I had a lot of fun! Of course Brandon was there and little miss Catherine, dressed in her fancy, pink dress. Who would of thought a 3 month old would get so much use out of a fancy, pink party dress? Brandon's parents came, and my dad and grandmother. It was sad not to have my mom there. I know she would be so proud of me now, I wish she could see us. I think she more than anyone wanted me to be a doctor. I choose Internal Medicine as my specialty because of her. Anyway, the party was really nice, I'm glad everyone came, and I loved my dress (and hair and eyelashes).

Catherine was so well behaved - we have such a good baby. I credit Baby Wise. She slept through the whole ceremony in Bob (Papa Low's) arms. It was cute to see him hold her for so long. I think everyone was impressed at how good she was. My dad said I was a very peaceful, quiet baby too. Aparently Brandon was a little more high strung as a kid. It's good he got that out of his system because he's very cool now.

Brandon's mom brought some baby pictures of Brandon - Cahterine does look a lot like him, Of course we didn't need baby pictures to figure that out. The shape of her face is identical to his at this age. I think she has my nose (I hate my nose) and maybe the shape of my eyes. Unfortunately, I think she has his skin tones - we really wanted her to have my skin. Poor Brandon already has skin cancer..... a basal cell by his ear - going to have MOHS next week. And the jury is still out on the lips. She has my detached ear lobes (yeah! Much prettier than attached, sorry). And she is developing some red hair it seems. I have a lot of dark red hair in my dad's family. Brandon has reddish tints in his beard. So that would be a nice mix. If she does have red hair, I hope it's the pretty red like Kristin's.


Catherine and Hannah - they are in the same class at school. Hannah was born in January, so she is a few months older than Catherine. Her mommy, Six, and I work together. She is in my residency program too!
