The Donovans

Conrad is now three months old and I have officially started working again, a new position, but still at the same place. I now have a desk job and no longer have to work weekends, holidays, or pick up call shifts :) We got some new ikea shelves to organize and make playing with toys easier and less overwhelming. Patrick and I raced on who could build it faster. Patrick cut his finger and got stuck at one of the first steps, so I helped him, but then I got stuck with the very last step, so we'll call it a wash. I cannot believe how fast he has grown!

My friend Lindsey, who I met in hospital orientation at Froedtert almost 8 years ago, just moved back to her hometown in Peoria, IL.
