It's Raining Teeth??

Well as they say when it rains it pours. Last week James noticed that Brooklyn's upper right canine was coming in funny, and because of this it was not dissolving the root of the primary tooth. It was therefore keeping it from falling out and making the permanent tooth erupt wrong so....he decided to pull it. He had to give her a shot and she did fabulously! Not even one tear. Of course he also gave her a little nitrous so that helped ease her anxiety (and mine).

Then, today after waiting and waiting and waiting Kalysta FINALLY lost her first tooth!! She has been very upset that she had not yet lost a single tooth and she is almost 7. So today she pulled it out in primary. I know I've already mentioned how tough this little lady is but when James and I saw the tooth we both laughed as it was clearly not quite ready to come out. As in there was still part of the root attached. ;-) So one can only conclude that it had to have been slightly painful to remove. But there is no stopping that girl when she is determined. Here is a cute picture of our toothless girl.

Midnight Sun

As most of you are aware I (along with millions of others) have been reading the Twilight series. I absolutely LOVE these books. I have always loved fantasy...part of being born with the x chromosome I suppose....and these books have offered plenty of that. Yes, they are simple and easy to read, so I guess some find them silly. Regardless, I still have enjoyed them immensely. When I finished Breaking Dawn I was a little sad that it was the end but knew that Stephenie Meyer was working on Midnight Sun, a version of Twilight from Edward's perspective. However, I just learned that someone has leaked a draft illegally online. And so Stephenie has put the book on hold indefinitely. Not that I blame her. Anyone who spends, hours..weeks..and months putting their whole heart and soul into something, whether it be writing, music, film, or anything that one gives all of themselves to deserves to have that displayed, read listened to or shown the way only THEY envisioned it would be. So Stephenie has released on her website a draft of Midnight Sun...an incomplete draft but a draft none the less. So I'm off to read and hope that one day she changes her mind and decides to finish the last of these wonderful books. But hey, we still have the movie...let's hope no one is stupid or callous enough to leak that! You can get the draft HERE.

A "Thriller" of a Time....

I was going through some old pictures and came across this one. My good friend Aubree and I hosted a murder mystery some months ago. It was SO MUCH FUN!! I mean who can resist dressing up in clothes from probably the worst decade (only speaking from a fashion standpoint of course) EVER? So here is a picture from that Radical night! When we gonna do it again Aub?

The Sheep in Wolf's Clothing....

Why anyone with a soul or conscience would ever consider voting for this man is beyond me. I have read the bible Mr. Obama, it is painfully clear you have not. Is this really the man we want running the country? And yes I meant what I said in the title. He's a sheep...he has no real opinion of his own, in fact I don't think even HE is sure of what he believes. But given some of the recent views he's put himself behind, he is much like the wolf who will huff and puff and blow away all that's left of what was once so great about this nation.....Virtue, Pride, Gratitude, Strength, Faith, Hope, Hard Work...need I go on?
