Orientation week

This is basically how Aidan and I spent the majority of Rich's orientation...sitting in the hall. With the help of some snacks and toys we were able to sit through about a third of the orientation then Aidan just got too loud. Yes we do have the unique option of taking his voice valve off but I feel really bad when we do that so we don't. The funny thing is that Aidan is well known amongst the pharmacy students because not only was he the only baby there but during the first speakers speech he spoke out during a pause and she acknowledged his yell as a valid comment. Both Rich and I turned bright red but every body just laughed. Now when Rich mentions Aidan to any of his classmates, they know who he is.


We thought this was a pretty cool ice sculpture.

The highlight of orientation week was the BBQ. We met a really nice family and had lots of fun. Aidan had way too many sweets!




The last day of orientation was the "White Coat Ceremony"!! This is where all of the pharmacy students are presented with their white coats that distinguish them as being in the pharmacy program and take a pledge, making them official pharmacy students. Doesn't he look so good!?!


So here we are! Rich is officially a pharmacy student!

This is Rich on his very first day of school. We live so close to the University that he walks. We are loving Florida. We have been so blessed that everything has worked out for us and things couldn't be more perfect. Well...unless our families decided to move out here. Think about it :)

What a great update...can't believe my son is officially in school again! He looks great in his scrubs, but the white coat is the best! Aidan and you, Jessica, continue to grow..ha ha!! You will soon have a one year old! Can you believe it? We miss you all so much. Thanks for keeping us up to date on the blog. It's great! We loved Florida for a vacation...and will love visiting you there!

That is so fun. You guys are going to love it! Going away for school and being away from family can be hard but it really will bring you guys closer together. I love the story about Aiden screaming out in the talk. Once my nephew was at church and the man was giving one of those extra long and detailed prayers. He paused for a breath and My nephew Scott yelled "Amen!" I love Kids!
