The "Cottonham" Tottenhams

This weekend we were able to take a quick trip to Austin to visit Jessica. It was great to get to see her (and of course her mom Ladybird and dad the famous Terry Tottenham) and visit with her. We also got to hear about her ministry and the great work she is doing with Young Life's Capernaum Ministry--which is really amazing. I must apologize to my college roommates, in particular Jackie who still lives with her, for encouraging Jess's great Texas pride by giving her the gift I gave her for her b-day. However, I just knew after seeing the idea in a book that Jess would love it...seeing as how she so proudly displayed her Texas flag in our dorm room and apartment on Texas Street.

By the way Jess...Battlecat worked very hard to help me make the quilt, and being from Texas herself, thought she should get to keep it when it was finished.

In other news, I am enjoying Pediatrics so far...I am currently doing Neonatology and getting to examine all the brand new babies, which is very fun! Jake has started re-reading the Harry Potter books again in his spare time in preparation for the release of the final book at the end of July.

Here are a few more cute pictures of Battlecat & Kelsey...Kelsey got a little pool to play in. She loves the water and is always trying to drink it directly from the hose. Battlecat on the other hand is terrified of water, and avoids it as much as possible.

My Little Garden

Here are a few pictures of what's growing in my little patio garden...I'm rather proud. Of course so far it has been raining every few days, so I haven't had to do much watering yet myself...we'll see how it goes as the summer progresses.




The last picture is of the girls with Battlecat's best dog friend Taggy. She lives across the street and they get to play together every day as our great neighbors Martha and baby Abby let the dogs out for us each day...but to our great sadness they have decided to move this summer to Chattanooga, TN to be closer to family.
