This past July we took a week long reprieve to Michigan to reconnect with our dear friends, as well as bring back our guitars, which were left in Michigan because of humid conditions and inability to store them during the transition to Virginia last summer.
We headed out in our "swagger wagon" midday on Friday after a morning of operating and arrived at the door of Rick and Victoria the following day before noon.
Our first afternoon we got to spend reconnecting with my former boss and his family. Their home had experienced a significant fire during the past year, so the home had many changes and beautiful modifications.
It was quite unique to be discussing our surgery cases, no longer as residents, but now all as attending surgeons. Trung and I felt more grown up I guess...
The beautiful family
Our gracious hosts for the entire week
Known by our kids as Auntie Victoria and Uncle Rick
Thank you two for all the fun and hard work of hosting not just us but all our friends that week.

Thaddeus was thrilled to wear a pair of "gobbles" weather swimming or not
First day in the water was mostly sounds of stress and fear, but by day three the boys had transitioned to confident water boys
Learning to relax in the water...
Not an easy skill to obtain as a three year old boy
Stepping into the boat
Celebrating my "34th" Birthday
We had a delicious grilled salmon dinner
The smile that brings a smile to us all everyday!!!
