Last Thursday Sarah visited to orthodontist to get spacers in preparation for braces in 2 weeks. Back up 2 days to Tuesday night, about 10:00 (0ver an hour after we put her in bed) she came downstairs some what groggy to show us a yucky gaping hole where she lost a tooth. She said "I literally lost a tooth" our response was "literally?" we chuckled at the cutie. "No, literally I lost it! It was there and now I can't find it!" We were still chuckling at this and Shane asked her "Did you swallow it?" She just shook her head at us like we are crazy and mumbled as she was walking away, "You'd think a girl would notice that".

I still chuckle thinking about that conversation-she is a hoot.

I have neglected the blog for a couple of weeks. We have been getting back into the swing of things after our wonderful break from school. Soon I will get the New Years trip to Dallas blogged, be on the lookout!

In other news, we had report card day last week. I always hold my breath, I am more nervous about their report cards than I ever was about mine. What is that about?

Emily (8th grade) had a great 4.o we are very proud of her. She is the greatest about coming in doing her homework, and studying for quizzes and tests.

Sarah (6th grade) had all A's. With just one B, in math which has always been a struggle for her. She worked very hard for these grades, I am very happy that her report card reflects her effort.

I could go on and on....my kids are great!
