Student Dr. Rigby

August marked the beginning of medical school for Brennan which included his white coat ceremony. With all the family in town (Rigbys and Petersons) we made our way over to Kingsbury Hall at the U to honor and welcome Brennan into the class of 2016.

It was great watching him receive his white coat and stethoscope and then recite the Oath of Hypocrites. What a proud moment as he was warmly welcomed to the School of Medicine and had his parents (school alumni) and grandparents (university alumni) there to support him as well. What a wonderful family legacy!

 

and just for fun...

Sweet and Sassy Heather

Summer Wrap Up

I finally transferred pictures from the camera. Now I have a lot more to work with and lots of fun photos to wrap up our summer. So....let's begin the summer in review.

Heather is already 3 months old. She's getting so big as you can tell by her monthly shots in her car seat.

We've had some great trips this summer. In June we made it up to Park City for a day out of the house and some mountain biking for Brennan.

In July my sister Alisha got married so we were off to San Diego. 

My mom made this adorable flower girl dress for Heather. It's beautiful.

Sam and I made this quilt for Alisha and Brian.

Heather's first trip to the beach was a success!

We spent a day in LA at the Culver City Obon Festival. It's such a fun tradition celebrating our Japanese heritage with my grandma. Heather even has a baby cotton yucata. It's super cute, but it was a little cold so she was wrapped up. I can't wait until next year when she'll be dancing with me in her adorable outfit.

In August we celebrated Katrina's birthday boating at Deer Creek Reservoir. It was Heather's first 2-night camping trip and she was a trooper.

We've also had lots of time to just play and relax at home as well.

Precious

While my sister was in town we put together our very own photo shoot for Heather. My house might have been a disaster afterwards from all the rearranging of furniture (the photos are taken on our dining room table under the chandelier), but I sure am glad I have these pictures. They turned out beautiful. Thanks Alisha!!!

Heather's Baby Blessing

Thank you to all the family and friends that were able to join with us on August 12th to bless our sweet baby Heather. We are so grateful to Aunt Alisha for documenting the day and even putting together a special photo shoot.

You've Got Mail

They finally made it to the post office and hopefully to your home. If not then let me know and I'll send another. We can't believe she's almost a month old. I'll get more pictures from this past week posted soon.

Three Weeks Here We Come

I can't believe Heather is almost three weeks old. We are having so much fun together. Here are some highlights from our past week. Heather is really good at eating, sleeping, making faces, hiccuping, wiggling out of her socks and gloves, and being a complete sweetheart. We get up just once or twice together at night and I'm finally catching up on some sleep which is wonderful. She's already gained a bunch of weight and we went to her two week check-up yesterday. She's now 7 pounds 6 ounces and 21 1/4 inches long. She didn't care for getting her blood drawn and let out one little squeal and then just squirmed a bit until they were done. Luckily we have several weeks until her two month check-up and all the fun shots that come with that.
