We're back...

To all our loyal readers (all 7 of you), I apologize for not having posted in a month... or two... or three. =/  Things have been really busy around here.  That was a bad excuse.  Summer is a week away and this year is going to be a busy one.  Before we start talking about summer lets rewind and recap on whats been happening in the last two months.

MAY:
Dr. Hansen went to Hawaii for a week.  Don't get jealous (yet) because it wasn't all fun in the sun for Dr. H.  He went to Hawaii because it was the location of this years AAO (American Association of Orthodontics) convention.  Dr. Hansen attended many classes and seminars.  The topics ranged from new products all the way to advanced orthodontic techniques.  After the classes, seminars and meeting Dr. Hansen played a little golf and spent time with his family (now be jealous)! =)  I know what you're saying, "Hawaii! Couldn't they have had the convention in Detroit or Cleveland"?  Nothing against Detroit or Cleveland but if you were an orthodontist where would you rather go to a convention? Hawaii.

The office participated in YMCA Healthy Kids Day.  On a Saturday, four staff members volunteered their time to represent Hansen Orthodontics at two YMCA locations across the valley.  We handed out treats, talked about braces and had a lot of fun.  If you've never been to a YMCA Healthy Kids Day I would recommend checking one out next year.

Kelli, our scheduling coordinator, moved to California with her husband. She will be missed but we are excited for her and her family as they embark on a new adventure.

April:
Dr. Hansen took us all (his employees) to Disneyland!  We spent 24 hours in the happiest place on earth (which is Disneyland and not to be confused with Hawaii for those of you still thinking about the beach).  We ate tons of sugary foods, saw Jack Sparrow on Pirates of the Caribbean, navigated our way through Space Mountain and plummeted 13 floors on Tower of Terror!  A big thanks to Dr. Hansen (our amazing boss) for taking us on such a fun trip.  If you haven't seen them yet...I would recommend going on our Facebook page and checking out the photos of Jon and Lance wearing their fanny packs.  Classic!

This summer:
Now that you know what we have been doing lets jump ahead and check out the calendar for the rest of the summer.  On July 13, 2012 we will be hosting our 5th annual patient pool party.  We are handing out invitations at your appointments.  If you haven't had an appointment in awhile or missed your invitation please feel free to call ahead and RSVP.  Bring your family, bring a friend... everyone is invited!

That's it for now... I'll make sure to write a new blog entry next week and give you a little more details about the Pool Party.  Bye for now!
