Dooleys Gone Child: Bye bye Daddy

We said goodbye to Matt (temporarily) on Sunday. Matt left for his Neurology rotation in Portland at OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University). He will be completing a four week stint with the Stroke Neurology service. While we were very sad to see him go, he will probably be coming home on weekends. Sebastian and I keep reminding ourselves that four weeks really isn't that long. I am also pleased to announced that Matt was invited to interview at OHSU for his residency!! So far Matt has been invited on six interviews which is fantastic. Sebastian is very proud of his daddy.

All remains status quo at Chez Foon (The Feldman estate). We had our first official harvest today... hooray! Despite horrible bird pressure on all agriculture in the area, Foon Estate had a decent first harvest. I was out picking grapes in the mud today. The experience was fun but much more difficult than expected. I am also very thankful that I am up to date on my tetanus shot because I took a few chops out of my index finger (ouch) with the clippers. Yay for first harvest and big YAY for free booze!

We received the most amazing gift from Jazz Cisneros yesterday. Jazz is the mother of our good friend and former roommate, Breanne. Jazz made Sebastian a quilt, matching crib sheet and bumper, a bib (with a matching "Big Brother" harness for Fred), booties, and a teddy bear with a matching robe. The entire package was fantastic. We have received so many thoughtful gifts over the past few months. We are very appreciative of everyone's kindess. Please be advised... thank you notes are trickling out slowly... especially those Matt is supposed to be writing. :) We will get there!

I am getting worse and worse about taking pictures... Ahhh! I will try to be better.

Love to all!
