Hello, all!So sorry for the lack of updates-I realize it has been awhile. Things have not been slow around here-are they ever?-and we have been trying to keep up with all the upcoming events! I will try to briefly update you on what's been going on. First, the kiddos. As you can see from the above picture, Madeline decided a few weeks ago, that her hair was "in her eyes." I was at work, and had not done her hair that morning. So she, being the innovative, independent child she is, decided it would be a smart idea to just 'cut' the hair out of the way. When I came home and discovered the damage-which made it impossible to keep long, I immediately called my hairdresser friend, and we went in for a fix. I think it turned out adorable, and am hoping the cosmetology side of Madeline will stay dormant for awhile.:)
Hobbes, as you can see from the above picture, has even bigger news. About 2 years ago, if you remember, we had to have Hobbes 4 front teeth taken out due to cavities and a fall when he was 2, and they put a bridge in in Seattle. This was mainly for speech purposes, and served him well, but when we took him in for a checkup a few months ago, it had begun causing infection and was posing a risk to the permanent teeth that are coming in. We decided to take out the bridge, and have a few fillings put in, which, because of his traumatic history at the dentist, meant he had to be put under anesthesia and operated on. Although this was not a fun experience, he did MUCH better than 2 years ago, and has managed extremely well without. He is not self-conscious about his teeth, he just prays to God that "they'll come in in a minute." His speech has not really been affected, something we are very grateful for. So, even more than hairdressers, we are hoping we don't have to visit a dentist for more than a cleaning for the next several years!
