Beach Bums

Steven and I are just returning from Emerald Isle where we had the blessing of spending a week with Steven's family relaxing at an ocean side paradise. This beach trip has become an annual event for the Gurkin side of the family, Steven's mother's family, and definitely one of the highlights of our year. We always look forward to time with the family, making memories with our niece and nephew, eating delicious meals, playing games until all hours of the night and this year, meeting our new 2nd cousin, Emma Grace. Now it's off to camp for me, as the pediatric hematology/oncology division hosts a camp for approximately 100 of our patients each summer - and Steven will be busy with different orientations for residency, which begins July 1st. I'm so thankful that we had this chance to spend time relaxing together before his residency begins and we're so grateful to have such an amazing family whom we love to be with.
