We're moving to Denver...well actually Thornton.
Finally! Dan's training will be finished in June and we're moving this circus back West. In the last few weeks, we've managed to both secure jobs, buy a home in Colorado, sell a home in Pittsburgh and, most importantly, maintain our sanity. Here are a few pics of the new place.
This is the front porch and Kim Davis, our realtor and friend. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Denver area. http://www.findingyourspace.com/
Lucky for me, this HOT guy comes with the property!
Dining room
Of the 300 pictures I took of this house, I didn't get a good one of the kitchen, but really this is the highlight. Giant granite island.
Back yard. Can you guess where I'm gonna put raised beds for gardening?
The rest of my pics were crappy or of technical stuff like the garage, heater and unfinished basement. You'll have to come visit us in person to see the rest of the place.

Alli's photography
These are pictures that Alli took with her own camera. She is very proud and wanted her Grandmas to see.

| OK a little fuzzy. |

| This is me drawing on the outside of the window in Alli's preschool room. This is daily ritual that must be completed before I can leave for work. |
 |
| Yikes! |
 |
| Olliver's Mom...as Alli likes to call her. Her real name is Heather. |

| Double Yikes! |

For Amy
So much to catch up on! I can't believe I haven't blogged ANYTHING since February! I also haven't cleaned any toilets in my house since then either...just kidding. Joking aside, we have been very busy...as usual. I'm getting really tired of using that excuse for everything that I put off. Hopefully that will be coming to an end soon. Dan will finish his residency in less than 1 year! WooHoo! July of 2011 we will close the chapter here in Pittsburgh and move on somewhere else. Where you ask? Well...I don't want to speak too soon, but we will hopefully be moving West. I'll leave it at that.
Dan was chosen for "Chief Resident" this year, which may look good on a resume, but in reality, it means he spends more time at work being a "Mom", making sure all the work is being done, all the residents are where they are supposed to be and doing it himself when needed. So we see less of him. :( On the brightside, job hunting has been fun and has provided a little glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
Alli is now 4 and Sidney is something like 20 months now. They are healthy, growing and happy, although they whine alot, but what kid doesn't at this age. The little Mommy in Alli is really coming out. She is constantly herding Sidney around, tending to her needs and telling on her when she is naughty. Sidney is becoming very independent, doing lots of things on her own and in her own way and on her own terms. She is much more determined than Alli was at this age. Each of them has so much spark and spunk and as with all girls, lots of drama.
I'm busy and overwhelmed most of the time. I really just need an assistant...and a chef...a housekeeper...and a vacation by myself. I know all Moms feel this way, I am no different. I am still working full time doing Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant. I love it and now feel like I really have a handle on it...just in time to leave and find another job. Story of my life. Anyway, outside of work, I have a garden full of tomatoes and really enjoy my time spent creating fresh foods. I will be sad to see summer go.

Dan & co-residents. See that guy with the white hair in the middle, next to Dan? The one wearing the dark green t-shirt. He is the evil one. The one that is at the top of my s*$t list right now. The one that single handedly makes each and everyone of those other guy's life hell. I won't mention names. Just sayin'.

Pirates Nic & Dan. June 2010. This was for Alli's Pirates & Princesses themed birthday party. The kids pics were all typical bday party pics, but this gem of a photo is priceless and is potential blackmail material. Arrrgghh!
