Oh, Dear Joe

Tonight I was feeling pretty sad about selling the crib that both Joe and Jack spent the first three years of their lives in.  It made me realize that no more babies will come and some day the boys won't need me like they do now.  Josh reminded me the boys will always need me, just in different ways at different ages.  Then, as if Joe knew I needed cheering up said, "Mama, when I grow up, I'm gonna fall in love with you."  How lucky am I!

Nothing like a white Christmas!

I'll I want for Christmas is My Two (bottom) Front Teeth!

Well, Joe lost his 2nd tooth!  I wasn't prepared for the loss of teeth until kindergarten/1st grade.  Joe's two new teeth are already half-way in!  This picture was taken right after Papa pulled out the tooth with a slip knot and some dental floss.
