Derek is Half Way Done!

On May 9th Derek had his White Coat Ceremony.  This means he is half way done with dental school and is now starting more clinical work.  We are VERY excited to have reached this point.  I am so proud of Derek, he works and studies so hard and NEVER complains.  I know he doesn't love having such a huge workload and daily pressures on him, but he does it for us.  Good job making half way!  Only another two years left...unless he goes on to specialize...


Reciting the dental pledge.
The IDEP kids all in their white coats.  Looking good in white!


Family pictures.  It was great to have Derek mom there and to celebrate with us.

We are proud of both of you! Derek is doing so well in his schooling. Julie is an awesome homemaker/mother and both of you are great parents to cute Addison!

Congratulations on this great accomplishment.
Have fun drilling, pulling, cleaning, polishing etc etc on all of those patients. You will do great!
