The Tooth Fairy...

We had a great couple of weeks being in Wisconsin... It's been since August and the girls have certainly changed a lot (and seemed to be more challenging to keep in one spot). We were pretty lucky and we got some decent weather. I traveled for work both weeks so I was really only around on the weekends, but it was so nice to be home and have some extra hands with the kiddos. Andy and I also closed on our house in Atlanta while there and took Declan with us to pick out his room (his is the biggest of course and I'm certain he will be terrified to sleep in it).

We've got one more month in New Jersey and then we are heading out... I'm not sure I want to go anywhere in the car with our kids again, but I'm looking forward to only an 11 hour trip to WI from Georgia versus the 14 hours it takes for us from Jersey. The ride home yesterday had a lot of water, both from the rain and the tears...

We did arrive back home with one less tooth in the family. And unfortunately it was Bria... Yes, too young to lose a tooth, so she did it the hard way. She fell and cracked it all the way up to the gum - how she wasn't in excruciating pain is beyond me... She knocked most of it out actually. The whole thing was a bigger deal than we all thought and she had to be hospitalized to have it removed by a pediatric dentist (and was put under for it thankfully). Thank goodness for my folks because they were able to take her in and to the hospital all the while Andy and I were in Atlanta... And it doesn't seem that she's missed a beat. It's a little sad because she won't have a front tooth for the next several years of her life (until her permanent tooth comes in), so I thought it was good that we are moving to the south - at least our little hillbilly will fit in there :-)

This was post cracking her tooth, but pre having it pulled... You can tell she basically knocked most of it out. She already had a gap between her two front teeth, so it looks pretty funny now :-)

Grandma Judy getting swarmed by butterflies!

It was a great couple of weeks and looking forward (minus the car ride) to going back at the end of May again Hopefully we can see the people we didn't get a chance to see this time!
