Precious Gems

Zachary lost his third tooth last night - his first top tooth!
He worked on it diligently all evening 'till at long last it broke free.
I wondered if it was motivation when I offered to take him to Mr. Smith (home from Iraq) who pulled his seven-year-old's top left front tooth last week!
That's o.k. mom - I can handle it!














Mr. Smiley:-)
Sweet sweet Clay. quick to see a need and meet it.
Great Grama F. you would be happy to hear this guy - he likes to spell all his questions and answers: If someone asks "Mom can I have a snack?", I hear a little lisping voice pipe up "M-E T-O-O!"














Miss Sue got her first ever hair-cut last week - just a little trim of the long stringy ends.
I think it's an improvement, and boy! Does she look older all of a sudden?!


















THIS is a little bitty trouble maker. Mmm-hmm. It's true.
Where did you get that Olivia?
What are you doing Olivia?
Where have you been Olivia?
Oh-livvv-eeeeah!!! What? you think that sweet innocent smile is going to make it alright?
Hmmm. You're pretty smart!


















Carolina Truth - littlest but not least!
Two top teeth are about to pop through. Isn't that ironic? #1 is losing his top teeth and #5 is getting hers:-)
She is now able to sit in the shopping cart (albeit buckled in), and gets lots of attention because she is so tiny sitting there!

















What a delight these children are to me!
I am glad that there are so many wonderful Grandma's to appreciate these little Bugs with me:-)
