Crowns

Dearest Gifts~

At 6:20am, daddy changed little Grace's diaper.  I nursed her and then got ready for work.  Joshua, you were awake this morning, so I got to kiss you before leaving.  :-)

I had a good day at work.  I got to deliver two crowns this morning .... for teeth #8 and #9 .... and the patient was so happy with them!  She said she stopped smiling in photographs because she didn't like how her teeth looked.  Now, she was happy to smile!  The assistant, Hilsy, and I were also excited for her.  We don't always get patients who are grateful and thank us for what we do!  It really made our day!  :-)

Penny said that Joshua ate pretty well today!  And Grace ate an entire pureed mac and cheese mixture!  Wow!  Penny also noted that Grace is waving, or at least trying to wave, bye bye now.  You three went to the park again today and played with a little boy named Derick.  Joshua, you took two of your toy cars to the park and you shared them with Derick!  And, you showed him how to wave!  Wow!  So, now that we know you're capable of sharing, lets work on that at home with Grace, ok?  ;-)  

You two greeted daddy on the front porch this afternoon.  Joshua, you had your toy lawn mower out and you were mowing the lawn.  Too cute!  Grace, you were sitting in a box .... or a 'Penny chair' .... to 'contain you' as Penny said!  Ha!  It was a short box, so you were looking out at Joshua and daddy!  Ha!  I guess I should show Penny where the pack and play is located!  ;-)

Grace, when you pull up on furniture, you're starting to take some side steps to get around while holding on.  It won't be long now before you're running all around like Joshua!  You love watching him run too!  :-)

This evening we helped daddy pack for his trip.  He's flying to New Orleans this weekend for a wedding.  Joshua, this means you'll be the man of the house.  You'll have to help Grace and I out this weekend.  Daddy will be back by sunday afternoon, but we'll miss him.  This will be the first time we'll be separated for any real amount of time!  Daddy's flight is at 6am tomorrow morning, so I know we probably won't sleep well since we'll be anxious about his trip.  We'll say a little prayer for daddy's flight before bed.

Sleep tight you two!

I love you so much!
