Dental peeps + pottery at Earth Glaze & Fire + unexpected color coordination 😂💙
Apparently we all got the memo to wear blue… without actually sending a memo.
What made today even better was that each piece we picked actually had some meaning behind it
Now the real question is… can you guess who picked which one? 👀

Lunch at Claire’s at the Depot was ridiculously good. The she crab soup especially had us all in deep debate over why it tastes superior to regular crab soup 😂

Somewhere between pottery painting, soup analysis, and laughing too hard, we realized we forgot to say grace before the meal… so yes, grace happened afterward.

Grateful for moments like this with this crew.
Joy matters. Community matters. And apparently… blue is our team color now. 💙

Beautiful day spent hanging out with our inner artists… and apparently discovering a few budding singers too 🎨🎶😂

There is something both delightful and hilarious about watching dental peeps become deeply committed to choosing the perfect paint palette. The owner definitely got a good laugh at how seriously we approached color selection like it was a life calling.

Grateful for laughter, creativity, community, and the reminder that play is holy too.

A beautiful afternoon to be nerdy with Coach kellyiveyjohnson Kelly Ivey Johnson …another deep dive into the enneagram as part of the people-centered dentistry culture !

Dr. Shae was in deep listening mode the entire time! What enneagram number is she ? 🐶

Or she was dreaming about those yummy eggrolls from Nam-Viet Restaurant namvietrestaurant

Today was our quarterly emergency preparedness training at the office.

Even though we all maintain our certifications, we intentionally practice emergency scenarios every quarter so the team stays sharp and ready if something unexpected ever happens.

This time we also added tornado preparedness to the list.

Dr. Tran’s role today?
She was the patient with the emergency for the drill. 😅

The team jumped into action right away, which was actually pretty reassuring to see from the “patient” side.

Meanwhile Dr. Shae supervised the entire situation very closely…
by calmly sitting nearby and watching us like a true professional. 🐶

Moral of the story
Prepared team
Well practiced protocols
And one very relaxed therapy dog overseeing it all.
