No Greater Love

It's so fun to watch my daughters grow up. What once were a couple of little girls playing with their dolls and tea sets are now turning into little women. At 9 and 11 years old, both have very distinct personalities. While one is the scholar, the other is turning into quite the athlete. It's been absolutely incredible to see their personalities develop.

I wonder how they will be in another 10 years. Will the older one still enjoy reading her books? She read the entire Harry Potter series in two weeks. Will the younger one still be the tomboy athlete? She is playing on the fourth grade boys' soccer team. Regardless of how they turn out, it's been amazing to see them grow up and continue to develop their personalities.

Older colleagues continuously tell me to be careful and not blink otherwise the girls will be grown up and gone before I know it. My hectic travel schedule lecturing and teaching definitely takes a toll as I miss parties and events at school. Starting this summer, I hope to be making some changes in my life and schedule that will allow me to travel less and stay at home with the family.

The past few years have been an amazing ride as I've had the opportunity to lecture in virtually every state in the union. A young dentist couldn't ask for more - that is other than staying at home and helping the girls with their nightly homework!
