We'll try to keep this relatively up to date. Feel free to post comments.
Rollin
Got an e-mail from a med school friend, that made me think we needed to update this again.
Rollin's still planning on moving to the Christian Health Center full time in July. This is a little un-nerving, but there isn't much we can do to eliminate that. I'm going to be working in the ER a little as my current practice begins to dwindle and we build Benefactors for the center.
The kids are growing. I'm adding some pictures today. Sam is busy with dance and piano. Collin with basketball and Cub Scouts.
Linda is trying hard not to let us go broke as we get through the transition. Being my office manager probably really stinks! You'll have to ask her.
We are all doing well. We have recently added a kitten to the fold, a stray that Rollin just couldn't leave in the cold. It will be interesting to see how that turns out. Spiral, Linda's cat, is getting very old, and she's not too excited about the new addition. Heidi Lou, our Boxer, continues to be an awesome dog.
Rollin - 2009 will be a year of change for me, as well as the family. I have decided to close my private practice after being open for about 3 years. I will be moving in July to the Christian Health Center in Camden, a non-profit clinic which sees the working uninsured for markedly reduced fees. We are using an innovative funding mechanism which we call "A New Model of Care". In this model, I will try to have a small "concierge" practice of 200-300 patients which pay an annual fee for their medical care through the CHC. This will provide the funding for me to be at the CHC full time to serve the working uninsured. With the recent economic news, I am a little worried, but I feel God's calling in this direction, and trust that we will be taken care of as He sees fit. Check out the CHC website. The link is included on this page.
Linda - Linda has been my office manager for the last 3 years. She has tried to get fired for the last 3 years, and I guess will finally get her wish. She is looking forward to being home a little more. She is a CASA volunteer, volunteers at the kids schools regularly, and runs the Wycoff Domestic Transportation Service (WDTS). I have really enjoyed having her at the office with me, and hope she can find some work to do around the CHC every now and then. We recently danced the Cha Cha in a fund raiser for the CHC called "Dancing with the Camden Stars". See the Cha Cha link on the right.
Samantha - Dance, piano, quiz bowl, you name it, Samantha seems like she's doing it. She stays very busy and is really growing up. Can't believe she is 9 years old, and already borrowing Linda's shoes and some of her clothes. I'll see if she want's to put a personal message on later.
Collin - 7 years old, and all boy. Just finished soccer, and starting basketball. Growing like a weed. A total goof ball most of the time. He loves to figure out how things work. I think he gets some of that from me.
Linda and I are very proud of both our kids.

Great Site Rollin and Linda. It's good to see what you guys are up to and see your good looking kids and pets. (Dane's sitting on my lap right now, looking at the picture of your dog yelling, "puppy, puppy, puppy.")
You can visit us at our blog at http://kmwoolf.blogspot.com/. I'll add yours to my links.
If you want to see something really funny, go to http://robertwoodrome.com. I like how the warnings are in English and Spanish.

Hello to the Wycoff family,
We received your letter today so I had to check out the website. Nice looking children! I'm sure you are proud of them as well you should be. Your latest venture sounds very interesting, Rollin. I'll make sure that Dr. Lassen and Dr. Rosenkrans see your letter. I hope that all of you have a very Merry Christmas and a great year in 2009. Special greetings to Linda - I miss you!
