Rocklin, CA

So, our Vacaville dream has died. On to plan B... Jude is buying into a practice as a partner in Rocklin, CA. Rocklin is really nice--much nicer in and of itself than Vacaville, but not surrounded by the cool stuff that Vacaville is. We won't be as close to San Fran or the beach or Napa or all of the orchards and Lake Berryessa (very very sad for me), but we'll be much closer to Tahoe (Jude's happy), and that other stuff really isn't that much farther (45minutes to an hour). Rocklin has great schools, is super family friendly with parks everywhere and everyone is LDS. The practice is right in the heart of Rocklin in the same parking lot as the church. The office is surrounded by protected wetlands that Jude will be able to see while he works. Rocklin is rolling hills everywhere full of nice neighborhoods with great views just minutes from the practice. How nice for Jude to be able to only drive 5 minutes to work everyday. Here is Dr. Jude himself...


The office needs a little updating as you can see, but what a life Jude will have working in such a chill environment. It's so perfect for him. Yay for Jude.

Not a bad view

Sweet 30 year old pictures

Dr. Jude spent a week working in the office while Dr. Peterson was out recovering from surgery. It was great to hear what a mellow environment it was. Such a change from where he is now! Nothing is signed, but I think they have worked out the big details so lets hope it all works out.

Scarlett

It has been forever and the little darling is growing up! So, I thought I'd post a few snapshots. It's so hard to do her justice with a photo--she is much cuter in person--but here are a couple that I thought look like her. There was not a lot of planning that went into these and there is bound to be some sweet stuff in the background.

Scarlett is suddenly little miss personality. She dances (mostly with her head back and forth) and plays peek-a-boo (also a whip of the head). She screeches and spits and makes faces and cracks us up. She is everywhere the last couple of weeks...crawling so fast and standing and walking along furniture. And apparently she is a red head?? People always ask me where she got her red hair. Really?? My little Scarlett with scarlet hair. I did not plan that.
