Fall is HERE!

Claire is crawling and standing up! She has become active fairly quickly! It has been a lot of fun. Also more work for Mom and Dad. 

One of the last hot days of the year... Buckets and hoses out to keep cool! Brinley and Penny had a hay-day getting in and out of this bucket of water. 

Cute sisters...

Jenny and the girls put out birdseed to attract birds...

Sleep Apnea CE. I think I was the only one in my class that actually enjoyed it. 

VALA'S! Yay! We have been looking forward to this all year! It is maybe our favorite thing about living in Omaha! We don't spend much as a family but it is easily worth it to buy a season pass for the seven weeks they are open. 

Brinley is beginning to be more comfortable walking off on her own. There were a few times that we looked around and really had to search for where she was at. One of the times she was found here, posing as a cow. 

We always enjoy our time talking to grandmas and grandpas on the computer or iPad. We are grateful for avenues like this and the blog that allow us to remain close when we are so far apart. Ashlyn snapped a picture of Nana and Grandpa Williams while skyping tonight. 

School is going well for me. I am getting more and more involved in complex surgeries. This week I placed two implants and performed an apicoectomy. I feel very blessed to be at Creighton. I am getting an excellent education and will really be able to hit the ground running after graduation. As of now, we are planning on staying in the Omaha area to buy a practice or start a new one as soon as I am approved for financing. We are excited and very optimistic for what the future will bring. 

This picture shows the procedure of an apicoectomy. It is basically the treatment for a failed root canal. You reflect the gums, removed infected tissue, cut off part of the root, and seal off the end. (Just in case anyone actually cares)
