We miss you Lilyan!

Isaac enjoying his snacks...he knew exactly where to find them at Lilyan's

Isaac's best friend in Nashville was our next door neighbor, Lilyan Stewart. By the end of our time in Nashville, we went over nearly every day to play and kill time until Lance got home from work. She is the sweetest Southerner we know and miss her so much!  She is 86 going on 66.  She walked every day, did all of her own errands and driving, lived on her own, and watched over all of the 'elderly' people in her church group.  In Lilyan's words, we needed a big ol' weepin' vial when we left her!

He made it!

One of the few photos I snapped of Lance because Isaac thought it was really fun to keep running in and out of the room.  He'd come back every time he heard clapping so he could clap, too.

Lance and his transplant ladies (fellow pharmacists and residency director): Stephanie, Jen, & Christie

I know this is long overdue, but Lance successfully graduated from his Solid Organ Transplant residency at Vanderbilt!! He put in a lot of long hours, yet still managed to make time for me and Isaac. He did a great job and now has a job lined up at University of Souther California in Los Angeles (if he EVER gets licensed in California!) We have been in Salt Lake City for the past 6 weeks or so and were originally hoping Lance would be ready to start work this Monday, but the licensure process may take up to another 2 months! Our plan is to just enjoy this unexpected time off.
