Caroline had an exciting few weeks when she lost both front teeth in 24 hours!
They had been loose for a looong time - we're talking months here. Then one day at school she collided with another kid and that knocked them *almost out. She tells the story much better and mentions her trip to the nurse where they had to give her a new shirt because her's was all bloody :(
That night we pulled tooth #1 out.
The next day tooth #2 came out!
Her grown-up front teeth are already starting to come in. But, Man! Do little kids look different when they loose teeth. She looks so big to me now!
The weather has been nicer in the evenings, so we occasionally venture outside.
I saw these "pool-noodle horses" on facebook and made a few for the boys. Immediately after I took this picture Miles pulled off the eyes, ears, and mane - basically everything that made it look like a horse. Pretty soon they were all riding around on plain 'ol pool noodles!
"Muscles!!!"
Dave flew back to Memphis to work with his brother again for a few weeks. We knew he would be gone at least two weeks, and ended up staying for a full month. We missed him a lot! Picking him up from the airport was so exciting - I got that Christmas Eve feeling! We made signs and waited at the airport and when he came down the escalators - it was the sweetest thing. Caroline ran to him and he picked her up and she got emotional - sweet little tears. Miles put his arms right out to Dave for him to be held too. It was such a sweet reunion and people at the airport probably thought he'd been deployed for months or something!
Right afterwards, we went to Arizona Mills Mall for lunch and some fun before the ride home.
It's Soooo nice to have him back - I won't take him for granted ever again!!!
