TOOTHLESS! AND LOVING IT!




Elizabeth lost her first tooth yesterday at school. She brought it home wrapped in a bag. She was so excited she could hardly stand it. To all of our surprise, she was ready for bed early and actually fell asleep shortly after 8. For our night owl that is an amazing feat. The tooth fairy was coming and she said she wanted to be ready for her. She even dreamed about her. She told me this morning the fairy left jewels all around her while she slept in her bed.

THE ANNUAL POLAR PLUNGE




Our neighborhood held it's annual polar plunge on Saturday. Jr was the only one brave enough to actually do it! He liked it so much he did it more than once and then wanted to go swimming. Afterwards we were treated to a hot piping breakfast that we all enjoyed and they raffled off some great prizes. It was a lot of fun.



Jr was the only brave one to take the POLAR PLUNGE!
