April Update

We've been pretty busy in the last month so I think it's easier if I do one long post with pics of everything.
We spent Easter here this year. Jared had his licensure exam (WREB) the next weekend so we did Easter dinner by ourselves. It was fun and is getting us ready for when we move and will be spending most, if not all, the holidays by ourselves.
We did have a Easter egg hunt the Friday before with a bunch of people in our neighborhood. Sam didn't get any eggs but he didn't seem to care. He had fun with his buddy Wyatt.
Sam got a new haircut. It was the first time we've taken him to someone to get it cut. I think from now on I'll just do it myself. She charged $20 and it wasn't totally straight.
Sam also got his first ear infection. Poor little guy took it so well. After not sleeping for several days of not sleeping (His fever started on Thursday. I called the doctor's office on Friday and they told me to watch it over the weekend. Nice.) I finally couldn't handle it and took him to the ER. They put him on Amoxicillin and this is what happened.
His rash didn't start until a week into the antibiotics. I took him back to the doctor's. They said it could have been an allergic reaction or an amoxicillin rash which isn't really an allergic reaction so for now they have labeled Sam penicillin allergic but I think eventually I'll have him tested just to be sure. It looked really bad at the time but he didn't seem to notice it. He wasn't itchy at all so I think it probably wasn't a true allergic reaction.
We celebrated friends' birthdays with a bbq. All these guys have spent the last 4 years in dental school together and are finally just about done.
Congratulations guys, we are so proud of you!

Sam enjoyed his cupcake with his buddy.

We found a house in VA. We are so excited about it. We will have plenty of space there inside and out.
As soon as we get there we will change the shutters so it will look like this.
We also went on a graduation cruise with some friends last week. We left Sam with friends. Thank you so much Laura and Karolyn for making the cruise possible. We had a great time, even though I missed Sam. I'll do a new post for the cruise, most of the pics are on another computer. Here is one picture from it.
