Beast videos

As requested (it won the lates poll), here are some videos of beast. I will be holding another poll shortly, but I've been in need of catching up first. It's been a busy month.

Beast likes to play with bags. I know he shouldn't, but he doesn't. He got into the bag himself, the surprise is what I provided.

And here is Beast playing with the waist ties from my scrubs. The sound in the back is just a TV show.

Grandpa 's Visit (End of March)

Grandpa Baugh (we get to call him that now) came down to visit us and to check out the "Star of the South" dental convention. He stayed with us and I took vacation days because I haven't been using them, and they expire at the end of the year. Dad had to go to the conference, but he made some time for some catnaps :) We had a good time, and I even got him to play Wii Bowling. It's always great to have family come and visit.

The one thing he wanted to do was to go to a grocery store, so I took him to Central Market, which is a huge, very nice grocery store in the nice shopping area of Houston. We also took him to our local HEB, which is the same company.

We went out to eat at a BBQ place (Thelma's BBQ) near the convention center that has a "hole-in-the-wall" charm and has been voted best BBQ. We also went to dinner at Saltgrass (local steakhouse chain), and Papadeaux's (local seafood chain).

Preggy pictures

People have requested pregancy pictures, and these are the one's I emailed out a while ago (when they were taken). Enjoy, I'll have some more recent ones soon.

Surprise

Well, again I'm terrible at updating the blog, So I'm going to serially update it, not all at once.

We found out our cat is a boy. His name was Belle, because he liked to play with bells. We figured that was too girly a name for a male, so we settled on what was already our nickname for him when he was mischevious or misbehaving... Beast.

Ok, Brady, here's an update.

We were calling some old friends, and Brady told Elena I wasn't very good at updating this blog, so I am now obligated to update it.

Last month was pretty hectic for me. I was on the Critical Cardiac Unit, meaning about anybody complaining of chest pain that could possibly be a heart attack was admitted to our service. Part of the hard part of it is that there is no "cap". A summary, on a regular month on internal medicine, overnight call I can only admit a maximum of 5 patients, those 5 patients are my "cap". Well with no cap, on CCU call, I admitted 11 patients one night, and other people have admitted more. Not that all of my nights were that bad, but I didn't get much sleep. The good thing, is that with being on call every 4th night, they let you off every 4th day, because of the work hour restrictions.

Elena is doing well, and enjoying her kitty, we just got back from our walk by the dried up river. Here are some pictures.

Yeah, I'm terrible at this blogging thing.

First off, I've only told Elena about this blog so far, and I didn't even remember to give her the website.

Secondly, It's been a month and a half since I wrote.

Time to do better.

Had a great trip to Utah for Christmas
(got an iPod for Christmas, and a Wii with Christmas and birthday money soon after)

Elena got her cat, we named her Belle, since she likes playing with bells.

That's the quick update. I'll work on improving the blog and adding some pictures.
