{Lake Champlain sunset} The summer was busy, but I made it to my second year of residency! I'm enjoying an outpatient procedure month and working on a few different projects, including Health Care Shares and a group working on expanding the number of people with advance directives . And Chris got a job teaching junior high at a Catholic school that's 10 minutes from our house! We've gone apple picking twice so far this fall, and we're looking forward to the fall colors. Although I spent most of my summer in the hospital, there were a few highlights: {a new niece! adorable Zoey Elizabeth} { Vermont Brew Fest } {visitors, hiking, and a concert (with free ice cream )!}
