Today at 8:00 pm we officially submitted our final rank list for residency programs. It was a difficult decision for us to make. We really love Duluth, our great friends and church that we love up there, but also appreciate Rochester for Kristi's parents living nearby and doing daycare for Charlotte (and us at times). So we ended up ranking Mayo #1 and Duluth #2 and 6 other programs in the Twin Cities area ranked lower. We also recently discovered a very real possibility that if we go to Rochester, we may rent the house directly across from Kristi's parents house.... For those of you who are familiar with the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, I'm sure if this pans out our lives will be full of hilarity as a result.
We will find out on March 19th where we will be spending the next 3 years. We will let all our blogger followers know when we find out.
Charlotte wants all her admirers to know that her new trick is to mimic a flamingo by standing on one leg. To unknowing spectators it just looks like she is lifting a leg to mark her territory. We'll get pics and a video up sometime soon, stay tuned.

Wooohooo! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Frank and I are so excited! love Marie
Yay, you get to see us more!
keep your excitement somewhat checked... we don't have any positions secured yet! wouldn't want anyone to be too disappointed on March 19th.
Charlotte also wanted everyone to know about her other new trick (she learned this one first). If you ask here what does "Thumper say" (as in the rabbit in the story Bambi), she'll thump her foot up and down! What a genius!
Also - Laura pointed out that because Ray's brother lived with Marie and Frank, Kate will have the roll of being Robert (we'll call her Roberta).
Grandpa Mark

the one who is most likely to teach your child inappropriate things while at daycare
