Important Update #2

Hi Guys,

This week we found out I will be stationed at Sheppard AFB near Wichita Falls, TX. It is only for one year, while I am in an AEGD (advanced education in general dentistry) program, then on to some other location. I don't start until August or September, so we'll for sure come to UT and visit again this summer.

We are a little disappointed we didn't get assigned one of the locations a little closer to the West, but we'll make the most of it and have a great hot tornadoey redneck fun loving big Texan time.

At least we'll NOT have to deal with another Milwaukee winter again for...ever.

Love you all,

Dennis, Amber, Emma and Will.

PS- On a side note take a look at one case I finished up a few months ago. This pt came in with a lot of teeth problems caused by erosion and caries. We ended up (among other things) crowning twenty teeth and now the pt looks completely different. Here are a couple before and after photos:

Important Update!

I tried to fix the red-eye in this picture but couldn't get it quite right.




Hello (This is Dennis posting... again. I don't know if Amber ever will again, so please ask her to).

There is not really an important update. I just wanted to let everybody know I still think our kids are cute. Plus I secretely want to drag people into reading our blog and possibly leaving a comment. A couple of weeks ago we went on a trip to Nauvoo. Our friends Andy and Abby Olson live not too far away from there and we stayed with them. It was a lot of fun. We loved seeing the temple for the first time, and were really impressed with all we saw. One of our favorite sites was visiting Carthage. The church seems to have gone a long way in being very diplomatic and polite to the surrounding communities. Maybe this time they wont run us out.



The weather was a little chilly, but beautiful the second day we were there.





Emma and William had a lot of fun playing with Ben and Henry. They were kind enough to share an entire basement full of fun toys with them. On a side note Andy and Abby fed us some "chicken lips" from a local restaurant. They were really good. Plus the town they live in (Burlington, Iowa) has the honor of having one of the windiest roads in the world! Sadly, we forgot to drive it on our way out of town.



Once again, we had a quick before-church photo op with the kids.







One day while at the zoo the fish were being totally awesome! They were behaving so well we just had to take some pictures in front of them. Aren't the girls in my family a couple of cuties?





William was behaving like one of the animals. Typical.






For our pumpkin carving this year the kids were really excited to help out. William kept stabbing them with whatever utensil he could get a hold of and Emma was a trooper with her job of separating seeds for baking. That's the kind of stuff she loves doing.







I don't think so William. On a side note look at the serious amount of drool on his shirt. He constantly looks like this nowadays. Teething, or just part animal? Who knows.





They were too sick this year to get dressed up in their costumes and go trick-or-treating. But they honestly look like a couple of zombies in this picture don't they?
