Congratulations Mark!

Boy time sure does fly when your husband and Daddy is busy in a post-graduate residency program for two years!  We can not believe how quickly our time flew in FL (although it didn't always seem that way).  The girls and I couldn't be more proud of Mark for successfully completing the program and becoming an endodontist.  Not an easy feat on any count and especially daunting when you have a pregnant wife and two little girls at home.  What an amazing role model Mark is for our children in showing them that it is never too late or too difficult to follow your dreams.  
To add icing on the cake, Mark was chosen to receive a very special award for being a consummate professional during his time at NOVA.  He was chosen for this award by the instructors in his program and it was the first year that this award was given out.  The director of his program told us that they created this award because of Mark and it will now be an annual award given to one member of each class at graduation.  Hurray for our Daddy!

Mark and his fellow residents.  They decided to dress the same for the graduation ceremony.  Everyone got a big kick out of this!
