What a Week

We are recovering from a busy week, last week. There was an activity almost everyday, most of which were related to Match Day. It was a lot of fun. We enjoyed getting to hang out with everyone, especially since it is starting to sink in that in a couple of months everyone will be scattered across the U.S.

Monday: We played with Chapman as you saw the post (and cute pics) earlier last week and we found out that Ricky had Matched somewhere. Later that night Ricky went out downtown with some of the guys to celebrate Matching.

Tuesday: There was a Crawfish boil that took place for the M4s. Here is a picture of Caden after we returned from the Crawfish boil. It was also St. Patricks Day so he was sporting his green.

Wednesday: I think we took a break this day and awaited the news that would arrive on Thursday.

Thursday: We attended the legendary opening of the envelopes at the Cadre Building in downtown Memphis where we found out that we Matched in Columbia, MO. It was a very exciting morning that started with brunch appetizers followed by lots of excited yelling, smiling, and hugging as everyone opened their envelopes that revealed what the future would hold. That night there was a big party for the 4th years to celebrate. Ricky attended this one along (well really with our good friends Katie and Jason) and I stayed home to put the little one to bed.

Here are some pictures from Match Day!

Friday: We went to a BBQ at one of Ricky's classmates house. It was also fun and again everyone was celebrating Matching. Here is a picture of Ricky and Caden at the BBQ.

Saturday: Amanda came down to watch Caden. Ricky and I went to the Caduceus Ball at the Peabody hotel in downtown Memphis. One of our friends put it well comparing it to a Med-School Prom.

We had to take a picture with Caden before we left.

These are our friends Jason and Katie Yaun

The coolest dessert ever! A white chocolate duck filled with chocolate mousse. For those of you unfamiliar with the Peabody Hotel they are known for their (live) ducks that come down to the hotel lobby daily and swim in the fountain.

Match Day

We are excited to announce that Match Day was a success! We are headed to Columbia, Missouri. Ricky matched at University of Missouri (Mizzou). Yay! We are thrilled!

Caden and Chapman

We Matched!! Wahoo! M4s get an email on the Monday before Match Day that tells them if they matched or not. So we are very thankful that Ricky's said he Matched. We find out on Thursday where it is.

We had the pleasure of keeping Chapman today (Caden's cousin). Julie and Chapman were in Memphis for the day and Julie had some things to take care of so Chapman, Caden, and I got to hang out for the day. Ricky even got to play for a little while this afternoon. I thought these pictures were just too cute. And now both are napping so I have a moment and wanted to upload these pictures.

Isn't this too cute. They are reading a book (The Hungry Caterpillar)

Chapman is making sure Caden is fully understanding the importance of this page. : - )

What??? A Picture?

Maybe I can get a smile.

Both in Awe of the Praise Baby DVD. Fun for Everyone!

Caden's 6 Month Pictures

We got Caden's 6 month pictures taken last weekend by Jessica Risinger a photographer here in Memphis. We love working with her. We always end up with lots of good proofs which make for a hard decision when it comes time to order prints. Here is a link to her website if you would like to view his proofs. http://www.jessicarisingerphotography.com/

It really isn't that difficult and I'm sure you could figure it out, but here are the directions as to how to find his proofs and you need the password found in #5 below.

Directions:
1. You first enter the sight by clicking on either the girls picture (for faster connections) or Caden and Lilly's picture (for slower connections). I would recommend going with the fast connection.
2. Near the right hand bottom corner you find the link to Client Proofing - Click here
3. Click on the Children section (even though you see our family picture in the family section)
4. Click on "Caden O."
5. To login enter my email address (amyogles@yahoo.com) and the password is o030709. That is a lower case "o" as in Ogles and then the date 03-07-09. So you type "o" followed by zero three zero seven zero nine.
6. Enjoy
