This is our sweet Alex...

Big News!!

Hallie lost her first tooth tonight! I can't believe what an odyssey that was. It seems like that tooth was loose forever and the last few days we have really been encouraging her to pull it herself or let us do it. I admit, I really encouraged Randy to do the deed. I did not relish the idea of doing it myself. So, after days of high resistance, she finally let him put some floss around it tonight and before she could say anything, the tooth popped out. She looked really surprised and even had to ask, "Is it out?" She didn't feel a thing! Of course, the tooth was so loose it would've come out if she had sneezed hard enough, but I am still proud of her.

Today I also took Alex to have her senior pictures made. I can't believe she is starting her last year of high school. We had so much fun and she made some beautiful pictures. I can't tell you how much I love that girl. She is such a blessing to this family. I am so lucky to be her stepmom!

Well, I just had to share. I hope you all have a good night. Thanks for the comments!

Yikes!

Well, that was scary. My entire blog, sans the title bar, disappeared from cyberspace for several days. Luckily, I was able to tweak some html, republish and breathe a sigh of relief. I have been so busy that it took longer than I'd like, but I hope my (former) readers didn't give up completely. Sorry for the long delay. More later!!
