So long locks

Dave currently has 4 dental interviews. They are at Midwestern, Loma Linda, USC, and University of Minnesota. He just had his interview at Midwestern on Tuesday, so technically he has 1 down and 3 to go. As much I was growing fond of his long hair, I made him cut it for his interviews. I don't want anything to deter him from getting into dental school.

Here's his hair before:



And after:

Sumas

I know this is kind of late, but I wanted to post pictures from our trip to Washington. In September Dave and I went to Sumas for about 10 days. We got to see my parents and actually my entire family. Ben and Stephanie flew out from Tennessee with Reuben and Pearl and a little bun in the oven. Josh and Suzie and her brother and her friend flew up from Frezno. Marc and Jen and Samantha and Jack came up from Bellingham every day. The whole family together for the summer.







Dave's Dad came out for a couple of days to go hiking on Mt. Baker. The boys rented a whole bunch of gear from REI and even got some cool new hiking boots. They borrow backpacks from Marc and Jen and bought dehydrated food to spend the night on Baker.

It snowed. They snowballed clear a grassy patch for their camp.

Yum, dehydrated rice and peas.
And for dessert.









Uncle Roger took us sailing!












Dave's friend and coworker from The Coffee Club in New Zealand lives in Vancouver, so he came down for a little visit. They went on a few hikes as well.



Go USA!








Jack was dedicated at the church that Marc and Jen go to.






It was 10 days full of nephews, nieces, relatives and eating. It was relaxing and crazy at the same time, but it was fun!
