Brianna's New Adventure!

Today Brianna went to the orthodontist. Brian told me they had all these clamps in her mouth to get these pictures. He had to hold in his laughter, but ended up laughing out loud. How could you not.
She will go get the real braces on December 2 at 9:30am. They told her that it would take 1.5 hours to get her ready to go. Poor girl--she's excited, but I wish we could have done it sooner. The projected length that she will have them on is 18 months.
Brian said the doctor was really great and he liked how they have everything set up. We'll keep you posted on her progress.
It might help to make the picture larger, but don't be fooled by Tom's eyes in the background...it's kind of creepy.

It Finally Happened!!!







He's really excited to loose his first tooth. He wanted everyone to see. You can even see the new tooth coming in. We'll keep you posted with the large teeth that will be coming in to take the place of his baby ones.

Happy Birthday to Dad!!!

We think you are #1! We also feel very lucky to have you in our life.
He picked to go out to eat at our favorite place. Of course we ate too much, but we love going these.
Here's two of the boys with their "best guy." I think Charlie calls him that some times. They really love him!
Tom took this picture of us. It's not too bad and we don't have many of them.
I think this is a really funny picture. I don't understand why they just can't take a nice picture.
Brian is so hard to buy a gift for. I tried for weeks to think about what to get him and he gave me no clues--not to mention the days leading up to the big day I had parent teacher conferences each night. I was going to stop at the store after school, but when I got home I saw two nicely wrapped gifts. I was so excited that he just bought what he wanted. That was definitely not the case. He had spent all of his birthday running around looking for gifts that would make everyone else happy. That is how he lives his life--completely selfless--wanting to make us happy. We are VERY lucky to have him.
He picked up a Cowboys snuggie for Brianna and the two boys got awesome Transformers cars. He even picked me up some new lotions and things at Bath and Body Works. He is FABOLOUS!!!
I did manage to surprise him with a ice cream cake from Baskin Robins. I'll do better next year Brian, I promise. I love you and I'm so glad you had a birthday!!

Funny Charlie!

The boys were wrestling with Brian the other night. Things got a little rough and the next thing we know Chrlie's flying through the air and lands with his cheek in the back of the couch. This lovely bruise is the result of the fun night.

Wiggle Tooth Update

Lots of tears because Tom wasn't ready to have us fiddle with his tooth. Eventually we talked him into it.
Emily wanted to tie a piece of floss around the wiggle tooth and see if we could pop it out.
He didn't mind too much.
After all of this the tooth is still there.
