We were able to visit historic James Town with Jon and Sheryl, and we paid our respects to John Smith, Pocohontas and the early settlers, who many of which gave their lives to participate in establishing Virginia and what was to become the United States. In one of the pictures Laurie is trying to help Gabriel reach the drinking fountain, but he's so heavy and practically as big as her, this picture just makes me laugh. Check out Christian with his stash of sticks in his pocket, souveniers of course. Peter and I were able to steal away for a night on the town while we had overnight baby sitters. The view from our window is of down town Richmond, with the James River winding inbetween the city landscape, if only Capt. Smith could see it now. And a special shout-out to Heidi for remembering Peter's and my Wedding Anniversary :). Peter started his first week of residency wondering if he would make it through the first day without being sick, he was so nervously excited. Everything went fine that first day, but with the new hours and the new pressures, and me without my right hand man, we were both in constant delirium for the rest of the week. Our anniversary was at the end of the week, a beautiful Friday to mark the 7th year we had been married. We collapsed together that night at the dinner table, elated to have the week over and celebrate our surviving it, when Heidi calls to wish us a Happy Anniversary. We both looked at each other, disbelieving that we had both forgotten - which is a good thing, if either of us had remembered and the other forgot, we would've been in worse shape. But both of us having forgotten sent us into to a fit of laughter and we toasted to Heidi that night, and Joe's reliable calendar system. Thanks guys - here's to another year of marriage, and we'll be counting on you next year:)
