Great Visit from Nicole

We loved having Nicole come to visit with Reagan (Thing one) and Abigail (Thing two). They are such great guests -- or at least thats how we remember it now two weeks later!
Check out the picture we took with them on some of our outings. The best visit is definitely the picture of Abby holding the snake!

Successful Open House!

I'm a sucker when it comes to "grand opening events". Balloons and searchlights are about all takes for me stop and take a look at what is going on. The success of our open house/grand opening event, tells me that I'm not the only one! I was certainly concerned that it might be a bit of a bust. I mean, a grand opening event for a new grocery store is one thing (hey maybe free donuts... or even some... bacon), but a dental office is another (uh...free root canals?). To some people it may as well be free tours of a maximum security prison (hey kids!, do you wanna see what it feels like to sit in a real electric chair -- yippee!). But sure enough, the people showed up and stopped by, and looked around. Thanks to all our patients, friends and family and business supporters! It really was a great success. the energy of the event was great, and best of all we were able to meet many people who were interested in seeing us as patients! Maybe the free pizza had something to do with it!

We are looking forward to making this a bit of a tradition-- a anniversary / patient appreciation event next year. We will keep you informed!

Spencer's First Pinewood Derby Car

It has been months in the making -- well actually months in the procrastinating and one mad, late night, dash in the end. But we made it, and we followed most of the rules. Spencer named his care "Cien Pesetas" because it took a spanish cien pesetas coin to get the car to weight 5.0 oz.

Spencer was very pleased with his car --- it was awarded the "Most realistic" award and also won 2nd place in his den race. Spencer helped quite a bit with the car, he sanded and painted the car.

Spring Break in Disneyland

We are a few weeks overdue for this post, but the kids have been raring to send up some photos of them in Disneyland. Here are some thoughts about the trip from Ben:

DAD: What was your favorite part about your visit to Disneyland?
BEN: My favorite ride was Big Thunder Mountain, because it was fast and I got to put my hands up in the air.

DAD: What other rides did you like?
BEN: I liked Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear astroblasters. I like Star Tours too, and Roger Rabbit ride

DAD: Sounds like you like them all. I thought you liked the tiki room the best....
BEN: Nooooo, too scary, those birds are creepy.
