Vump or domit?

The title may make you think that we have been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss books around our house and we have. I think I could write a Dr. Seuss book because I like making up words. One time I was using Eliza's name as an acronym for adjectives that described her. Needless to say, I think all the words were actually made-up. One of my all time favorite that we still use in our common vernacular is lepacious. I'll let you try an define it. Just remember it must describe Eliza. Anyway, the question still remains: vump or domit? Those aren't very creative words because all I did was change the first letters around, but I wanted some way to describe the action of me putting a lot of pictures in this post. So on to the picture vump.

I guess I should start with my trip to the Czech Republic. It was a dental externship with a dental practice in Prague. I spent a couple of days there observing and picking up dental terminology in Czech. I finally learned how to say that I am studying dentistry. In Czech it is stomatologie which is like stomatology which mine not really mean much to you but since being in dental school I've learned that the root word stoma actually means mouth. I went to the Czech Republic with Forest, one of my dental school buddies. He didn't go to the dental clinic with me, but we did spend some time together seeing some places. I got to go to church and see some dear friends. I was sad that I did not get to see more people, but I'll just have to return another time. Anyone is welcome to come with me. Forest and I worked hard to get pictures together either by stitching them together with an app or using pano mode on his iPhone. The most amazing part of the trip was the support from the home front. Eliza and her parents were true heroes supporting me in expanding my education and maintaining my Czech. Eliza was able to go to her parents' for the week. Here is her mother's description of the fun time. Link

Picture stitch!

Apparently  dentists don't wear a tie and dress shirt, so they gave me some other clothes to wear. A little small on the shirt but I'll blame that on all my weight lifting. 

Fried cheese and potato ball thingees. 

Pork, dumplings, and sauerkraut. 

Picture stitch!

Frisbee golf in Prague. Dream come true even though it snowed

One of our first successful pano pictures. I took the first half and then he took the second half. 

Our creativity started to blossom. 

Pretty hip shirt if you ask me. 

Unsuccessful capture using pano mode

Definitely my good side

Score! All four of us in the same picture.

Eating Polish sausage in Poland. The 6 hour layover insisted we go to the town center.

Another one in Warsaw.

One of the successful picture stitches. 

At the end of the trip I flew to Denver for a dental conference. Although it was very informative and good to attend, I was missing my family and really wanted to be home. Since being home I've tried to spend every moment I can with my family. 

Here is Emmaline in the jumper.

Eliza and I went on a great date and got some Korean food. It was quite delicious.

Hyrum keepin it real. 

One of Emmaline's amazing exploding diapers. Can't decide whether I should call it piarrhea or doop.

We had a great time celebrating Easter. I had Good Friday off of school because Creighton is a Catholic school. We used the good weather that day to dye eggs, hide them, find them, and have a hotdog roast. It was a blast. 

Easter egg dyeing is the best

Finding all the eggs

Can you spot them all?

Hyrum wanted to sit on his own stair. 

Hyrum sure enjoyed the chips at the hotdog roast.

Always happy

Yo, give me some mo' eggs

Thanks!

I've got so many eggs now.

Picture time is over!
