Teeth

Hello dear friends! We've been super busy for a while. Ruthie came for a visit, a week and a half, and all of normal life gets put aside! That can be good :) Anyway, I just had to write about teeth. Anna has lost four teeth so far! The first one was a complete surprise. To this day I don't know where it is. The other three we saw coming because we check for loose teeth now. The second one I had to pull because it was so loose and she was going to school that morning. Yikes! I told myself I would never pull my children's teeth but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. Thankfully it came right out, it was ready. The other two came out during nap time or during the night. I found them on the floor! Anyway, no cash for teeth here because that concept is so beyond Anna. And, on a reassuring note, the dentist says don't worry about teeth coming in crooked. They all get moved around as new teeth grow in. What a traumatic thing for kids!!

I'm having fun with our vegetable garden! We have peas, lettuce, spinach and Johnny Jump ups coming up in the garden and lots more seedlings in the basement.

I'm sorry this is such a quick note and it doesn't really tell you how we're doing but Jane is chattering away next to me, asking for this and that. I can hardly think. I hope I can write more later, when the kids are in bed!!
