News

 So I recently realized, after talking to a few cousins, that our newest news may not be widely known...Dee and I are expecting our 3rd baby in August!!! It's super exciting and things are going well. Dee is not looking forward to being pregnant during the summer but other than that no problems. The due date is the 25th but I am really hoping for the 27th so our little "Baby Puggle" and Grandma could share a birthday. We are waiting to find out the gender.

Otherwise life in CO is good. COVID definitely threw a massive wrench into clinic. We were super, super slow since kids weren't going to school and therefore not swapping germs for us to treat. Things have started to pick up again though, as people are getting back together. I haven't been seeing much COVID coming through which is a good sign. Dee is looking to start a more steady gig after baby is born. She has been working as a Locum Tenens doc and filling in when clinics need help, but with the crazy low numbers she has basically had no work for a year. She is excited to get back into it. 

The boys are great. Dex is 3 now and Ozzie is 2. They are hilarious and frustrating and sweet and maniacal - often all of those within 10 minutes. Both are healthy and growing great. Declan for sure gets that there is a baby coming which is really cool.

I hope everyone is doing well. Unfortunately we aren't gonna make the family picnic this year. Dee will be in the middle of a 6 week gig that she can't take time off of and I am saving up PTO for when baby comes. I really miss everyone and can't wait to see your beautiful faces.

Love to all,

Jake
