Friends

Before we moved we had a really fun BBQ with some old Friends.   Chris Richardson was down in NC for a conference so we invited Marcus Rampton and his kids up for a visit.  These 2 guys are from our Rochester Days and we had fun chatting about the good ole' days of Medical school.  I wish their wives could have been there to chat also.  We miss you guys!!!!

4th of July

We spent the morning at our friends house and participating in their neighborhood parade, then came home and had a lovely BBQ with our friend Jaci.

Moving

Mid June we once again packed up our belongings and moved.   Some nice mover came over on the 18 and packed everything for us.  Then on the 19 they loaded a big moving van with all of our belongings and took off.  We were left to clean out our rental home and spend a couple more days with friends.  

We LOVED, LOVED, LOVED living in Durham.  It was very bittersweet for us to move.  We were excited to finally be done with our 10 year journey through Medical School and Radiology Residency and Fellowship.  And we were headed back to PA where we had great friends waiting for us. But, it was sad to leave the great friends that we made while in NC.  We loved our house, neighborhood, ward, friends.  We really had a wonderful year.  I can't wait to go back and visit!

We stayed a couple nights with the Christensens.  Between their 7 kids and our 5 it was quite chaotic, but so much fun.  It was fun to live by them once again.

 We also had to say goodbye to the Fagers.  E and Their oldest H were the best of friends.  We had so much fun with the family.  It was hard to say goodbye.

After a quick stop at the Harrison's (didn't get a  picture, but we still love you) we were off.  
Nathan had to stay behind in Durham to work a few more days.  The kids and I left NC on the 21 of June.  We closed on our new house on the 22 and then the movers arrived on the 23 with all of our belongings.  Nathan finally decided to join us on the 27 once everything was done.  We have loved our house and being back in PA.  But we still miss North Carolina.

End of the school year

 Towards the end of the year K's kindergarten class had a celebration.  The letter Q was marrying U.  They had all the kids get dressed up and they had a fun wedding.

K walking in with her escorts.  She was the only one with 2 escorts lucky girl.

 E was asked to participate in an honors chorus for all the area elementary schools.  Here she is with the group from her school.  She had some great experiences in Durham.

Last chorus concert for E.

 The day finally arrived and E graduated from 5th Grade.  She loved her teacher and friends she made, but is happy to move on to middle school!
