Alec's baptism

David's brother in law Jason is the Godfather. Although it looks like we did, Brittany and I did not mean to coordinate our dresses.

The Higdon side of the family.

Last Saturday was baby Alec's baptism. I was honored and thrilled to be chosen as his Godmother.

Goodbye Kindergarten, hello first grade

It is hard to believe the school year is over and Simon is now a first grader. It is amazing how much the grow and learn in one year. He has become quite the reader and loves math (Joseph and I are not sure where he gets that from!)

Here is a picture of his kindergarten class on the last full day of school. They got to enjoy a field trip the the Explorium.

not just another day at work

Saturday I had the privilege of working at the Rolex Kentucky. For those not familiar with this event, it is the only four star three day equestrian event in Kentucky. http://www.rk3de.org/

The UK emergency department is contracted to provide emergency services at this annual event. On Saturday, that included having an nurse or paramedic at each of the 29 jumps over the 4 mile cross country course. Luckily, there were no falls at my jump and no serious injuries at any of the jumps.

I am looking forward to working the World Equestrian Games in October!

Disney World

A perfect night at Epcot

We had an amazing trip to Disney World. We left after school on Friday, drove to Atlanta then drove the rest of the way the next day. We spent a full week taking in all that Disney has to offer. Joseph and I had only been once before when we were teenagers so we were excited to return as well. I understand now what Disney means when they say the magic of Disney World. Everything was perfect.

Simon's kindergarten spring program

Simon and the other kindergartners had their spring program this morning. Simon was so excited to perform and enjoyed a out of uniform day.

Another tooth out

Simon lost his second top front tooth today at school. He is growing up too fast!!

Happy 1st birthday Andrew and Nathan!

We took a quick trip to Chicago this weekend to celebrate Nathan and Andrew's first birthday. The celebration took place at Lou Malnati's pizzeria surrounded by friends and family.
