On Saturday, David's work held a welcome party for all the new residents and fellows at Jungle Island. After eating lots of yummy food, we spent the rest of the day exploring this great hands- on zoo. Highlights: feeding the goats red Kool-aid out of baby bottles, close up with the cutest baby tiger and ape, the liger (they really exist, I thought Napoleon made them up), an amazing bird show with a 6 foot Cassowary and an albino alligator. It was fun to watch Noah at the petting zoo. He really loves animals. I think he would love to live on a farm. He spent a half an hour feeding the goats and naming each one of them. I love seeing this sweet side of him. Ella Joy loved the bird show. We were sitting at the top of the arena so she got so excited when the birds would fly over our heads. Julia had a staring contest with a few of the parrots that were lining one of the walkways. It was a great day and it has been wonderful having David home so much. So far he has been getting home around 5:30 each day which I think only happened a handful of times during our 4 years of residency. He heard from the 2nd year fellows that the 1st year is pretty laid back and then during your 2nd year it gets busier. It has only been 2 weeks but hopefully his 5:30 arrival continues.

i have a couple friends whose husbands are residents at CMC in Charlotte and they all said the first year was the WORST! that's nice that david's program eases him in and doesn't try to kill him the first year!
david's first year of residency was killer. i never saw him. we didn't know what to expect during fellowship but so far it has been a pleasant surprise. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts.
duh, totally forgot it was a fellowship and not a residency!
That place sounds awesome. So make room for us. That rental down the way sounds perfect. I will sign on the dotted line no problem,
Ya, you get to see David!! I'm so glad the move has gone well. We miss you guys, Talmage still asks about Noah.
