Happy Birthday Johnny!

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and try to be more like you. Happy birthday Bro!

Mr. Sims

Simeon is now 6 weeks old. He is a rolly little man. I don't know how much he weighs at the moment, but he can't fit into most of his 0-3 month clothes. I must say he is very yummy. The poor little guy may not make it to his 1st birthday with all of us smooching all over him. His eyes are definitely blue and so far his full head of hair is holding strong. He is also starting to smile which is my absolute favorite thing. I will give more logistics after his next doctors appointment which is sometime in May.

I Promise...you won't feel a thing.

So, apparently they really are going to let Ben be a doctor someday.

This past week was my introduction to Local Anesthesia. It somewhat of a gladiatorial experience, groups of first-year dental students were shrieking and needles were flying. They had to sequester us away in a quiet secluded area in the upper floors, so our screams of agony and fear wouldn't startle the paying patients. After roughly five minutes of instruction and poking around on a couple of oranges, we found ourselves sinking 30 mm of sharpened steal into the pterygomandibular spaces of our colleagues.







Actually, I was quite impressed by both the skill and professionalism of my fellow classmates. And it was pretty fun and painless. Surprise, surprise. Good stuff.





And this is a picture if me inflicting a punture wound upon another aspiring dentist. We're still friends, too. Although he did almost chew his tongue off at lunch because I numbed him up so well. I'd love to practice my technique, any of you are free to volunteer to come by and get stuck with needles by a complete novice.

Cheers.

I Wish....

I wish I could do more of this.

Happy Birthday Mom!

I've always known that you are amazing. In so many ways I want to be the type of mom to my children that you are to me. Happy Birthday to my dearest friend.
