Jan 24th-30th

The 24th we celebrated Anna's birthday at the Children Museum and had the best time! There is so much there to explore, and Tilly loved that she could run around by herself touch everything and make lots of messes. She had a great night sleep that night! Maybe we need to go there more often. Monday and Tuesday Tilly and I organized a little bit, well I did most of that while she disorganized her books. Wednesday night Richard and I went to Podnah's bbq for a date night. We hadn't been on one in about 7 months!! We took Tilly over to Moses's house and I of course was wondering if she was ok the whole time I was gone - We got back to the silliest little girl in the world! She was giving fist bumps to Moses, then Cara, then me, then Richard, and over again with a great laugh each time. I was told she only noticed we were gone for just a second so I am very excited!! She is all grown up. We of course went to story time on Thursday and Saturday and played outside whenever the sun would peek through.

Richard had a busy week, He left Anna's party early with David to go to AFP. On Sunday he edited together a montage of some of the videos he has done for VACUUM which I watched when it was complete and it turned out very lovely. On Monday he went to a meeting with some of the doctors he is working on a paper with. Tuesday he went to a presentation by the Portland non-profit Medical Teams International about doing relief work in disaster-struck countries. That night he also went to a MoveOn rally downtown and met with other people promoting universal healthcare. Thursday he was interviewed by a woman making a documentary on universal healthcare--he said he was excited to tell the med student side of the story! Then he went and volunteered at the Southwest Community Health Clinic, where he sees uninsured patients who have no other access to healthcare. And of course as he likes me to point out he made time to come home and cook us dinner :)
