The Future

 Lily Kate had her 4-year-old well child visit last week.  In the last year, she lost a half pound :( but she grew 2 inches!  She has really shot up this year!  They weren't worried about her weight loss because of her growth- she is just a skinny minnie :)

While we were waiting to see Dr. Spell, I saw an exciting flyer on the bulletin board!

(especially the second bullet point)

I know I'm partial, but I think Stephen is the best pediatrician in Charlotte :).  He is not only brilliant, but he is a great people person.  He loves being able to make a child smile and forget about his/her pain for a few moments.  He is very attentive and caring and will spend as much time with a family as is needed for them to feel comfortable in the care they are receiving.  He tries to practice what he preaches so we abide by AAP guidelines in the raising of our girls.

While he has loved residency and getting to work in all the different areas of the hospital, we are all excited that we will finally be"settling down".  Stephen has worked so hard to get to where he is; 8 years of training (that's not including undergraduate studies)- I still can't believe he will be joining Charlotte Pediatric Clinic this summer!  We love Charlotte Peds and have taken our girls there since we moved here 4 years ago.  This is an amazing opportunity for him and our family.

Stephen will be joining Dr. Spell and Dr. Temple at the Pineville Branch but just a few weeks after he joins them, they will be relocating to Blakeney!  Here's a picture of the building they are renovating into their new offices!  It is right off of Rea Road, just past the Blakeney Shopping Center.

 If you are in the market for a new pediatrician, I know the best one in town :)  I'm married to him!
