Dr. Peterson Continued

The office is really coming along, we are so excited.  We have had a little hiccup with the elevator and phone lines, which put us back another week (that would be three total now), but we should be able to move stuff in within a few days!  They were loading his equipment today.  Unfortunately, John won't have the massage chairs he ordered right away, so we will have some substitutes until his real ones get there.  John has hired his two employees and gets to start his training next week.(Did I mention that this baby still hasn't come yet?  No, we aren't stressing at all!)  Also, we are so excited that he has his first two days almost full with patients now!  Ya, we know, we are going to need a lot more than that, but John has been working really hard with a couple marketing guys, so hopefully it will pay off.  Anyway, here are some more pictures of the office, almost done.

Consultation room

Hallway to Op's

Bathroom (sorry, but I loved the tile)

One of the op's.  He is starting out with 2 but has room to grow to 5

Sterilization room

Staff room

Another view of the sterilization room along with place for the Cerec machine and X-ray

Eventually, this will be a quiet room.  It is the only room that will be closed off for loud kids or for patients with really long appointments and want a little more privacy.  Our plan is to have this room up and running next.

First "Camping" Trip

Ya, since there is no way I am going camping right now, John decided to camp out in our back yard with the kids.  The main reason you go camping is really for the fire and the food right?  Well, now that we have a fire pit, we can have that along with real bathrooms and running water!

We even had bugs.  Check out the size of that bee!

We may not have been in the mountains, but we can see them, at least for a little while longer until they finish building all the houses behind us.

Finally Summer

I'm really not complaining though.  It was actually kind of nice having the cooler weather for so long while I am prego.  The last couple of days have been quite brutal, but I am almost done, so bring on the sunshine.
My brother Mitch and his new wife bought a condo that conveniently has a swimming pool.  Yay, for us!

Dancing Queen

Sydney had her dance recital at the end of May and I have been meaning to post the video, but I got a new video camera and I can't quite figure out how to post it on the blog yet, so stay tuned.  But, for now, I just had to show off her cute pictures.

Father's Day

Yes, I am still here, I just haven't taken that many pictures lately.  

On Saturday, we went to my grandparents for a BBQ with my dad.  Of course, I didn't take any pictures with my dad, but got a few fun ones of the kids.

This is the only "Father's Day"ish picture that I got.  At least two of them are fathers.

On Sunday, we had John's brother and his family and his neices and nephew over for dinner.  The kids and I got John a fire pit, so of course we had to break out the Dough Boys!  First Dough Boys of the year always makes me happy!

The Fire Pit!

Typical Peterson scene: everyone laughing at John being a goof.  I think in this one he got a little too much lemon in his dough boy.

Can't forget the marshmellows!

Yummy Deliciousness!
