(This post's a few days late,
It's how most days unfold;
All I can say in defense is:
Blame my 10-month old!)

Who, me?? |
Look what we have here!
Will wonders never stop??
A year come and gone,
2015 started in the car,
Driving down through the south;
Michael's residency interviews came a'callin,
With lots of candy in my mouth.
Why, dare you ask?
Because I was 8 months preg-go;
Baby girl kept my sweet tooth strong,
And swiftly that day came,
Early March heard lots of coos;
For right after a big snowstorm
Liza Love made her debut!
Holy cow, we're parents now!
Lucky for us, she slept a lot
Giving us time to learn how...
To change her diapers and wash her feet,
To make her smile and be discreet;
To get the stroller down the stairs,
To make sure all her socks had pairs.
To nurse her long and love her good,
To take thousands of pictures in our 'hood;
To cherish every moment sweet
With this girl we were so glad to meet.

Just wondering -- what do we do with you?? |

No wonder we all slept so much. |

Cutest things in the world |
And..
Just two weeks with the wee one -
Yes, life really was groovin';
Michael matched at UNC
Leaving DC wasn't easy,
In fact, much sorrow it did bring;
Such fond memories were made there,
I hope to visit in the spring.
Surely this was no easy feet;
We loved our spot, we loved our 'hood,
Right there on 33rd Street.

Last Jetties lunch |
But the Lord went before us,
That alone I know is true;
He welcomed us to Durham
There's those Duke Blue Devils
That Michael once called his kin;
But now we are fair Tarheels -
Light blue sweatshirts for the win!

At the Duke lacrosse alumni game. My boyfriend/husband even scored a goal! Swoon. |

With Rameses the Ram |
We slipped away in June
And took our baby on a trip;
To Colorado with best friends,
They make our hearts go skip.
Then residency - Oh the beast!
It started fair and square.
Need a young neurosurgeon??
I know one with pretty hair :)
Michael's learning up a storm,
Is it time yet to retire??
But he's got time for his girls,
We've made some dear friends here,
In that the Lord sure does provide;
A small group through our church -
A safehaven to confide.
I've also met some friends
Whose husbands also wear green scrubs;
We encourage and love each other
To encourage and love our hubs.
Liza Love, she made the rounds:
The beach, Dallas and C-ville;
This girl's got some travel prowess,
And she's got looks to kill.
She leaves her mark when traveling,
I can see her strategize;
Both a diaper explosion and some vomit...
My family came for Thanksgiving,
A joyful time was had by all;
We laughed and ate and stayed up late,
And Michael didn't have night call!
And then, it happened!
Alas, I cannot lie;
I turned thirty in December
Geez Louise - time sure does fly.
I still feel sixteen,
Young, wild, and carefree...
Oh wait! A baby's in the room!
Reality checks can be rough,
But there is always quite a need,
To thank the Lord for his blessings
And the good ways that he leads.

Reality check for LL = realizing her parents have officially lost it and put her in a pumpkin |
Christmastime then came,
Oh that glorious winter season
We all went up to New York,
But it didn't snow -- which up there is just like treason!
Watch the roads!
Don't hit that goose!
All's not safe
With LL on the loose.
Oh wow, what a year!
2015 went by way too fast;
Liza Love told me to tell you:
Coming in hot like TSwift
So many days to discover
What will we learn this year?
How will each day unfold?
Let's all have minds like children,
So many wonders to behold.
