Ella, the Party Girl

On Saturday night, Ben stayed overnight with his Grandma and Papa and Matt and I took Ella with us to my residents' Annual Recognition and Awards Banquet at Brookside Golf and Country Club in Worthington. Ella got all dressed up in a pretty dress. She was so happy to be there. She got to talk and meet a lot of new people. She was so well behaved and such a little princess!

Here she is with Maria

And here she is with Creed, the son of one of my resident's. He is so adorable. Check out his tie!!



Here I am with my Chief Residents. Brian, Sara and Mike have been SO MUCH fun to work with this past year. Brian (on the left) is headed to Charlotte for private practice and Sara is headed to Vanderbilt for a GI fellowship. I will miss them a lot! Mike (on the right) is sticking around OSU for a Cardio fellowship so I will see him for a least a few more years.



On a side note, I took the kids to the doctor yesterday for a check-up. Can you guess from the pictures below which one of my children is sick?




If you answered Ella, you are WRONG! Ella had her 9 month check-up. She weighs 18lbs, 1oz and is 28 in long. Other then getting in some new teeth, she is perfectly healthy. She didn't even have to get any shots! Ben was at the doctor's to have his ears looked at. And we found out that Ben now has his 7th ear infection in 6 months. Yes... I said 7th! We have been referred to a pediatric ENT and Ben will most likely be getting tubes in his ears this summer. Did I mention that Matt is also having surgery this summer? He is having his sinuses fixed and tonsils taken out. I am sure this is going to be a super-fun summer for the Chamberlain family!!
