Lili loses a tooth

Actually I pulled it out...but it was really ready to go. Lili has been waiting for this day for a long time, since everyone else in her class has started losing their baby teeth. Sadly she has to wait the entire spring break before she gets to tell her little friends, but after it came out I overheard her talking to herself: "This is what I should do...go into my classroom and pretend like nothing happened, and see who notices." Audrey was somewhat less than impressed, she took one perfunctory look at the little tooth and deadpanned, "Huh... it looks like a booger."

a little more progress

And she's off

Here is Kateri and her marine mammal crawl...of course she tends to be motivated the most by objects that she shouldn't have. Don't worry, I took the choking hazard dice away!

A card for Papa's surgery

Lili made this card for Papa's surgery...sorry if the drawing of the actual operation is too realistic and terrifying, Papa...it kind of looks like you are wearing a green speedo, and that the surgeon is a little deranged...we'll be praying for a speedy recovery!

Delicious

Audrey had been reprimanded several times yesterday for playing with potting soil and getting it everywhere, but I thought these delicious looking tacos were really funny all lined up on the lawn, as was her contrite response to my finding them; "Don't worry, Mom, I promise I won't make any more dirt recipes."

March in Phoenix

I love Phoenix in March...and yes, I am posting this to make you guys in Boston jealous, and to remind myself in the middle of the summer of why I love Phoenix.
