Erika loses a tooth

Erika loses her second tooth. Her permanant tooth was growing behind her baby tooth giving her a case of shark teeth. We waited a month and nothing was hapening. Off to the dentist we went. She helped Erika wiggle the tooth out and the tooth fairy came.

Her permanant tooth should now move into the spot where her baby tooth was. Unfortunately, it looks like she has a small mouth with big teeth. Sorry kiddo, you get that from your Mommy. :-)

Fourteen more years . . .

Christmas 2010

Christmas started out quietly. Notice that 2 out of 3 kids are reading when there are more presents to open.

We all got a little sauced on chocolate milk.


Later we went to a party and Santa showed up.


Erika was a huge hit with all the aunties.

Birthday money: Blown

A must-have giant racoon puppet was it.
For those who say money does not buy happiness, let me introduce you to "Reddy Raccoon who is 6 years old like me."
