One year down!!!

Jared officially started his second year yesterday. Even the schedule still kind of stinks right now, he came home yesterday saying that he can already feel a difference between first year and second year.

The program director had a barbeque to welcome the new first years last week. Here's a couple pictures from that. We had a good time meeting the new guys and hanging out with the old residents in a setting other than the hospital and out of scrubs. Oh, and the food was really good.

Sam and his new buddy. I think they have both learned to wash their hands before eating.

Jared and some of the residents new and old.

Dr. Strauss, the program director. He is a pretty awesome chef.

Giving advice to a soon-to-be "widowed" wife (losing her husband to his first year of residency that is). Also a good (I mean accurate) picture of my growing belly. I'd like to blame it on the baby but according to babycenter.com he's probably only a pound, so it's I pretty sure it's mostly me.
