The on-call pager has decided that it is going out in style.
(if in fact it really does go away after tomorrow; I have my doubts, I think they will stick it with him longer just because....)
I think we've seen Wade a total of 40 minutes today. And that might be rounding up a bit too. He called around 11:30, on his way home, with plans to make it home for lunch and help us get ready for church. As he was walking up the front steps, the pager went off two more times. Back he went again. Another new patient. And another surgery.
Really, if shooting the pager isn't an option, then we have to do something to celebrate when this is over. Ideas?
I've hit my limit this weekend too and the kids are watching episodes of My Little Ponies on Netflix right now. I don't see anything wrong with that.
We don't usually ride our bikes on Sunday, but I couldn't help taking this as our Sunday photo. On the way home from church today I got a call from a neighbor that also goes to church with us. He asked if we would happen to need a bike, they had one that their grandsons had outgrown and they didn't need it anymore.
You bet we need a bike! I didn't even drive home, we went straight to their house for the bike. I've been worried about our bike dilemma for the past couple weeks. Avery has learned to ride Noah's bike 2 wheel bike. She now refuses to ride her tricycle. Which means every single time we get the bikes out, Avery and Noah have the most horrible fights over who gets to ride the bike. The most logical thing would be buy Noah a middle size bike, but right now we can't afford to buy a new bike. I was hoping a garage sale would pop up soon with either a girl bike, or a next size up bike for Noah - at a decent (cheap) price.
They are all so super excited to each have their own bikes. This "new" bike doesn't have training wheels either, so Noah can't wait to get out there and practice and learn how to ride it. Plus, it has a picture of a shark on it. Noah is in bike heaven.
Blessings sure come in all shapes, forms and sizes. Yep, I think Heavenly Father shows he loves us, even with bikes.

Double Congratulations! First on the upcoming baby and second on the new job in Utah! We love watching from a distance to see where you all go - good luck with the next few months!
BOUNTIFUL! That's where Jason and I lived when we where first married. And it's right where we grew up. YEAH! We will have to call you when we come out this summer we will be there the end of July into August. You will have to keep me updated on where the practice is and were you are going to live. I didn't realize Residency was over for you guys...I hate it too it is way worse then med school, we are hoping Jason's 3 year will be better...hopefully.
What if you went to Dollar tree (ow whatever dollar store you have) and see if they have a pretend pager, or a candy pager or something similar. Buy that then build a fire in the backyard. It could be small... Burn the pretend pager in effigy and roast marshmallows over it??? I don't know but you are right SOMETHING celebratory needs to be done! :) Love you friend!
This is all exciting news! Congratulations! I have to agree that the job search is THE WORST. So be expecting us to come visit you guys in Utah... my parents just moved to Layton and I'm sure we'll be up there from time to time. Wade, I need to call you soon so we can catch up.
Jake
