I am sad to have Ryan back at school today but am excited to have the 2nd year started because that means he now has 1 day less of school this year. I know I am lame but you would be too if you felt like a single parent and your kid was asleep when his dad left for school, napping during his short lunch break, and saw him for the only hour that he could spare for dinner. Below are pictures recapping this last week of summer break.
Dane is OBSESSED with airplanes lately! He spots them from a mile away, before Ryan and I can even spot them. We decided to take him to the Deer Valley Airport to watch the small planes depart/land. On the way to the airport we stopped at sonic for some treats. You can't beat a milkshake and a slush from sonic. The airport wasn't too busy which meant there weren't tons of planes to watch but the one's that we did see made Dane's day. Dane loved watch from this spot where he could use the steering wheel. I think he loves feeling like he is in control- but then again, who doesn't?
He didn't mind this view either...
We went swimming EVERYday, sometimes twice a day. We and our friends also took advantage of pool parties with free catered rubios and gelato almost every weekend compliments of Mark Taylor, Thanks Mark! We usually got home right in time for DAne's bed time- which worked out great!
Ryan got Dane ready and took him to run some errands so I could have a break. What a great husband, right? Well, when he got home he was telling me how whiney Dane was and that he thought he needed a nap. When I went to change DAne's diaper, I realized MAYBE why he was so whiney earlier. Maybe it was because of the way Ryan put his shoe on...just maybe.
Ryan played guitar for Dane almost everyday! Dane LOVES the guitar, especially when he gets to bang on it and make music.
Midwestern had a party for the 1st and 2nd year D.O. and Podiatry students at some restaurant/bar. We went and met up with some of our friends and enjoyed some free food and entertainment (watching the drunk kids try to mack on the new med school girls)
Dane did a pretty good job of entertaining himself until his little buddies got there.
We all went to the car wash because we thought Dane would like the water spraying the car. He hung out in the car while Ryan washed it and I threw out the trash from the inside. When I was walking back from the dumpster, this is what I saw.

I feel for you. I have been there, well in many ways still there, when you feel like a single parent. I want to say it gets better, but the truth is one of the hardest parts for me was towards the end of the 2nd year when they really hunker down and study for their boards. I thought I was going to die. 3rd year is probably the best year. Granted when your husband only gets to be there for the birth of the child and then leaves a few hours later to go to work at his rotation because the preceptor is that anal, it is not glorious. But it is nice to have them not have to study as much. They still have to put together presentations and read, but it is just different. The time goes by fast. If you ever need any other support feel free to give me a call.
Hey thanks for the info, we'll definitely have go and try it. It is nice Ryan didn't have school all summer - that must have been amazing! Even though Dave had school, it was like he didn't since it was so light and he was home a ton more. I'm dreading this year as well and being "single" again. It is no fun that's for sure! I just keep thinking, "One more year" until it's better...hopefully. ;)
Feeling the pain...
SO sad that the guys are in school once more...then again (unlike you) Caleb's been in school all summer! Oh well. We need to start doing Sonic nights again so we girls can have some support! I'm sad that we missed the back-to-school party that Midwestern did.
I feel ya...I really really do!! By the way Miss Carlie, you're still as gorgeous as ever!!!
Hey Carly!
You're looking beautiful as usual. Tell Dane and Ryan hi. Tell me when you are going over to your sisters so we can come see you guys. ;) Take care.
