Between Trips

Between our trip to the beach and then the lake, we had three days of nothingness. I am, of course, homefree for the summer. For the past three years of Medical School, Caleb has been either in class, at the hospital, or studying. Now that he is a FOURTH YEAR (and the world rejoices at the sound of "fourth year"), he is on a 4 week vacation. Thus, a trip to the beach, a trip to the lake, and next week a trip with me to Ecuador!

At first, it was kind of weird because I'm used to ultimate control over the TV remote (he's always gone or studying) and other things like that. But now we are really getting used to the idea of being bums. Stay up late and sleep in. We've seen a lot of movies at the theater during the $5 hour. We've been eating lunch out A LOT. It's been grand. The real world is really going to kick us when his 4 week vacation is over!
PJ Joey has been enjoying the sweet life too. No blog post is good without a snapshot of her.

Caleb has cooked me pancakes several times. There are white chocolate chips in there....
Huge, fresh gulf shrimp for dinner with veggies. YUM.
And two men showed up in THIS vehicle to cut down some limbs that were about to fall on our house/cars. It is an ICE CREAM TRUCK. Yes, that is creepy. Would you let your child go up to that van to purchase ice cream? This is an SVU episode in the making. They were actually super nice guys, so I really shouldn't say such things about them.
