Kate Lost her First Tooth!

Kate has been wiggling that "somewhat" loose tooth ever since Molly's tooth fell out a few weeks ago - and often lies in bed trying to fall asleep wiggling it. So we were not totally surprised when she came down from bed last night after dark, with it barely hanging on - asking me if she might swallow it in her sleep! So, we grabbed it out - basically fell out of her mouth - and she was SO SO SO EXCITED!! Finally - her turn to have the Tooth Fairy come to her!!!




She has been waiting to use her "Tooth Fairy Pillow" for a long time now . . . .

Cutest smile ever!

Sound asleep - dreaming of the pixie dust that would soon fill her room!

Kids Bop!

Gretchen invited the girls and I to join she and Andrew at the Kids Bop Concert at Starlight Theatre Friday night! The girls were pumped - as they LOVE the Kids Bop kids and all their music and dancing!!


Ready to ROCK! 

It started to sprinkle - and Gretchen and I shared with our young ones - that that is all part of the "concert experience" - and reminisced about our many many concert days together in our 20's!  


Love how close our kids are!

Molly (8), Kate (5), Andrew (6)



Molly raised her hand for any opportunity EVER to get on stage - no surprise there!
Love her fingerless gloves - she's got her own style and I like it.


Kate was a little in awe of it all . . .

But the all loved the snow cones!
