Dentist and orthodondists

Oh my goodness do we need an orthodontist in the family! Meg went in to have 2 caps put on. The third will be put on next week. While there they did x-rays and showed them to me. She has a total of 2 permanent teeth so far and they are already crowded. her top two teeth are HUGE! They take up what is now her top 4 teeth across the front plus a little. He said " I'm not an orthodontist but I'd say she's going to need a lot of work starting very soon."
So after her next appointment I'll make her an ortho appointment to join her cousins in getting a palate and lower jaw expanders. Then braces. Lord I need to win the lottery!

The day after

We are stuffed! Megan is spending the night with her Oma and Opa and her cousin Jamie. Don & Jackie and Carly of course are there too but at 6 Megan could care less about the grownups and teenagers she is much more into playing Barbie's and Littlest Pet Shop with Jamie.

Ralph had to close on Black Friday and said it was a madhouse. Of course VP's are coming to visit tomorrow and so they had to clean up the store - as a result he's getting off late should be home soon at the time I predicted 11:00 pm.

Andrew went to his friend Alan's house in Tempe so it's just Ralph, James and I here tonight.

Ralph is bringing home milk and soda pop and I am really needing that pop!
Well off to do one last load of clothes then bed.

Lost tooth #2

Megan lost her second tooth today while brushing her teeth. It fell out and and she freaked out. She was late for school and I was almost late for work.
James found out he starts work at Target either Friday or Saturday. Class went well today. Thank goodness Tami came in to help because I would have been up a creek with no help and 13 kids on and a Thanksgiving holiday lunch. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, broccoli rice au gratin, mac & cheese, corn, pumpkin pie, apple cobbler, brownies, and whip cream. We were stuffed!

Now off to the in-laws tomorrow for Turkey day! We are providing the turkey, deviled eggs and some cookies.

nix the cookies wasn't up to making them and Ingrid didn't seem to want any.

Here is James taking a picture of himself in the bathroom mirror. the black things on his chest are his tattoos. Bats. Now if I could figure out a way to rotate this I would.

Halloween and birthday

Megan on Halloween she was the white witch from Narnia but she decided she was an ice princess. I made her headpiece as the one in the Disney store was expensive and it was a simple one.

News from November 3, 2007

Megan had her party today and it went very well - She also lost her tooth at a little before 5 am. She climbed into bed with us sometime between 1 and 4 am and then a little before 5 woke me up from a sound sleep when she screamed, "It fell out!"
So the tooth fairy visited her and left her some money a dollar and a handful of coins.

So my daughter has now officially lost her first tooth. My baby is growing up.
