Scotts graduation celebration

Some happy doctors. Can't pick out Scott, but we are pretty sure he is one of the happy ones. He is about 4 rows back from the stage, on the right side, and in about 4 seats from the right side. Still can't pick him out, neither can I, but he was there. Check out this celebration movie.

Scotts Graduation

Hopefully this link will work, still figuring this out. See his graduation video. See previous post for test.

Scott's graduation

Scott recieves his diploma from Palmer. Here is a short video of his walking accross the stage. Mark was there to present him as an alumni. Click on this link graduation

Scott's Graduation

Some pictures of Scott at the graduation hall in Davenport IA. He graduated Magna Cum laude, as was inducted into a honor society for top chiropractic graduates. We will post a movie of him walking accross the stage receiving his diploma in a couple of days. Mark was there as a Palmer Almuni to assist with the presentation.

Fishing in Pine Valley

Even though we didn't catch anything, we had so much fun! The lake was beautiful, the weather was nice and cool - it doesn't get much better than that!

Sand castle

Landon has really been wanting to go to the beach to make a sand castle. I told him we couldn't go to the beach, so this is what he came up with. (although I did help him make the flag on top)

random videos and pictures

We liked this because Melanie's hair is all messed up from Garth giving her kisses.  Brittany also likes this shirt.

And a couple videos:

First, Melanie had fun at the park and wasn't scared of climbing this height that is the equivalent of an 10 story fall for an adult (or around there somewhere).  This is the only time she didn't go straight down the slide.

Also, Melanie loves running in circles.  She just discovered that she could make little screaming noises (don't ask me how that was something new to her, because I'm pretty sure I've heard those noises before).  She thought it was hilarious.  We probably shouldn't encourage any game that makes noise, but it was pretty funny.  She just doesn't laugh the same when I tell her to sit quietly in a corner and let me play on the internet.  

House in Kanab III

Ok, last shots. Smaller this time. Sorry for the big pictures before. Looking from master bdroom to bathroom, and back at fireplace. And a fun bedroom in the basement, notice 4 built in bunk beds, accross from the built in seats and entertainment ctr.

House in Kanab II

Couple more posts to show inside. Kitchen, and a living room with fireplace, notice the views. Last is the family room, next to the kitchen.

House in Kanab

We traveled to Tropic to visit Kathy's folks, and then to Kanab to look at houses this weekend. Here are a few shots of the one we really like. These are of the outside, first is front view of house, other two are backyard, notice the swings and slide (whee), and the other is view from dining room window.

What we've been up to...

Hi Chamberlain family! Just wanted to drop a quick note and let you all know what we've been up to...

Kevin is entering the 2nd week of his "medicine" (the medical reference for Internal Medicine) rotation at Maricopa Medical Center, which, according to him, is in the ghetto. So far, he's treated lots of interesting patients, including a prison inmate with pica--the weird disease where you want to eat everything. The guy's kind of a regular at MMC--he's eaten concrete, screws, whatever he can get his hands on. Kev's also getting to know the serious ins-and-outs of alcoholic withdrawal. One of his patients was having serious hallucinations. That's enough to make you commit to the W of W forever! He's been leaving even before I wake up at 5:00 for work! The hours are pretty serious, but he's learning a lot and loving the "free food" at the hospital cafeteria; he's never eaten better. :) This is his fourth rotation this year so far; it's crazy to think how fast this year is flying by.

I'm finishing up the first nine weeks of school starting tomorrow. My students this year are great! My juniors are just finishing up the novel Speak, and my freshmen are doing literary analysis. I'm sure you also know that I'm working on my thesis, which is on Writing Center Work, and I hope to finish my MA in December. I will submit the rough draft of my thesis to my committee chair hopefully by Friday, which should get me moving on the defense process. Exciting! Anyway, with school, work, and part-time stuff, I'm just as busy as Kevin; we hardly ever see each other. Hopefully that will change soon.

We miss you all! Hope we see you soon...

Love,

Kevin & Kalie

Disneyland

We had a great time - you can see that one of the kids favorite things were all the fun characters we saw. Nathan would go up waving, then liked to hold onto noses!
