If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be with?
Abby:
I would have dinner with Noah- of Noah and the Ark. Why? Because, he's Noah and he found favor with God and wasn't flooded like everyone else on Earth! And he built a ginormous boat for all of the animals that we see and know of today! I'd ask him a lot of questions, like: What did all of his peers say about him? What did the ark smell like? Were the lions nice? How long did it take to get back to "normal"? What about the dinosaurs? What did his wife think about everything and did she understand what he was doing? I'd ask him a lot of other things too...but, I'm not sure what right now, since I've got a little time until I get to meet him.
Alex:
I would have dinner with George Lucas. I am a geek at heart and love Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I choose Lucas because he has extraordinary vision in both film and business. He is experienced in Hollywood and could impart some knowledge regarding many things: movies, stories, graphics, business, fame and much more.

Riggs goes to the dentist...
I'm famous!! I'm kidding, I'm really not. But, I was on the local St. Louis morning show, "Great Day St. Louis." One of the anchor's brought her son into the office where I work to do an interactive interview for a child's first dental visit and what you need to know as a parent. It went well and the little boy, Riggs, did great. I'll add a few of my own tips, because I work with a lot of kids for their first visit and do most of the leg work.
1. Use good associative words when discussing the dentist. Even if you're reassuring them that it "won't hurt," the word "hurt" is in their mind and they then think that there is a possibility that it could hurt.
2. Bring your child with you to one of your routine dental visits. Even if they don't have an appointment, it's important that they see the dental office and can go into the room with you to see what the hygienist and dentist do. It will give them a better understanding for when it's their turn to get their teeth cleaned. (Please ask the dental office if this is ok before doing so, some offices have strict rules)
3. Let your child brush their own teeth. Tell them how good they've done and then follow behind them to make sure the plaque is all brushed away.
4. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention! Every parent wants what is best for their child so, if you can prevent a child from having a cavity with fluoride or sealants, do it. It's in the child's best interest!
5. Be nice to your hygienist and be on time to your appointments...we're type A and OCD :)

Socializing with Social Media
Social media has become one of the ultimate means for communication and to keep up with news and happenings around the world. We find information at the click of a button or swipe of a finger.
Although our happenings are not necessarily news worthy I thought it was time to add a button for you to see what is happening in our lives via Instagram. Click the button to the right (with the little camera) and you can see our (usually steady) stream of pictures. I also added a Pinterest button so you can see what I'm pinning! Happy socializing.
