Yes, we are back in business. This past summer we spent some time in Chicago while I was on my physical therapy rotations. Things worked out swell. Kaisa and Hiram had tons of fun going to the beach, the zoo and as many museum's as possible while I tried to learn as much I could at the hospital.
I managed to survive a few triathlons , one in southern Illinois and the other in Kenosha, WA, and enjoyed biking to work every day through the onslaught of cars, buses, crazy taxi drivers and the ever treacherous random door opening.
We are now back in Des Moines, IA and have survived another semester of school (my last didactic semester I might add!!). We have been blessed over and over and among the biggest of them was the birth of Esther Jane.
Here is Kaisa and Hiram with Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline in the background.
Hiram, lovin it at the beach along Lake Michigan.
