Hank Graduates from Medical School

So yes...it has been a long time since I have blogged! Life got a little bit crazy but today I hope to catch you up on the last three months and then keep you updated more often! So I left off in May when Jake and I flew to St. Louis for my brother's graduation from St. Louis University Medical School. On May 14th he walked in his cap and gown and brought the whole family to tears. He went through so much hard work to get to that day! We are all so proud of him. He is now starting his family medicine residency at the University of Washington in Seattle.
While we were in St. Louis we ate at many fabulous restaurants, toured the Anheuser Busch factory, stood under the arch downtown, went to a Cardinals game, and took many beautiful walks through Hyde Park.
