Give thanks with a grateful heart ❤️

It's not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them that is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~ WT Puriser

From all of us fun and crazy turkeys....

Family isn't always about blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. We are so thankful for those that are part of our dental family. 

One of the cutest turkeys we know... thank you, Edie.

One of the best gifts you can give someone is the gift of thanking them for being part of your life. 

There is always something to be thankful for. 

Give thanks for each new morning with its light, for rest and shelter of the night, for health and food, for love and friends, for everything thy goodness sends. 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Halloween happenings here at the office...

Liz and Jill getting into the spirit of things, as always. No tricks here, they make visiting the office a true treat 🎃

Nice try, Rene, but we aren't too scared. You are spooktacular! 👻

That's a "toothy" grin. Looks like Shawn could use our professional services, too 😁 

Trick or Treating should be a fun adventure for children and adults, but please consider the candy intake - not too much all at once.  Make your child's Halloween a memorable holiday and they will have memories to last a lifetime time!  If you are taking your children out, maybe dress up with them.  Above all, practice safety and don't forget to brush, brush, brush those teeth after eating that candy.  Wishing you a Safe and Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

A typical Monday morning at the office...

What?  Doesn't everyone show up to work like this?  Who has more fun than our office? 

Someone looks like a new man.  Looking good, Dr. Bowen!

Having a little fun in honor of Dr. Bowen shaving his mustache after having it for many, many years.  You all look marvelous!

More fun.

A few of our dental family at Grand Haven Island. Pictured with restaurant owner's, Bob Latour and Mark Jahsen. We had a great time!

Enjoyed a great meal and a fun, friendly crew at Grand Haven Island.

Supporting local business is important for many reasons.  For us; it's where we live, and it makes sense.  It's where we've grown up and where we've raised our families - we enjoy being part of Grand Haven and this beautiful, lakeshore community. 

Owner, Bob Latour, along with Tina and Liz.

Other obvious benefits to supporting local business are; it creates a sense of community well-being, keeps the dollar in the local economy, good for jobs, wages and it maintains the local character, along with prosperity, to name a few.

This is only one, of many businesses here in Grand Haven that we enjoy supporting - and it's one of the best ways to give back to the community. The caring, supportive people of Grand Haven make this a wonderful place to live and work, we love that.  Thank you for all you do! 

Great smiles and fun times with Amber and Mark - Thank you for entertaining us!
