Spring has Sprung!!!

All the flowers are in bloom, the trees are sprouting

and all us humans with allergies are sneezing!

Hello there Spring!

Boy + Pole =

Black Eye.

Yup, folks. He did it to himself.

OSM.

Photos that I am proud of and want to show them off!

Joseph, Christian’s best friend

Lisa, Joseph’s mom and my very good friend

Julianna, Lisa’s Daughter and Joseph’s twin

and the many faces of my Christian

 

Unfortunately, Jakob, Isaac and DeJay (Lisa’s youngest boy) weren’t in the mood to have many pictures taken, much less being posed and asked to smile! It was a crazy day of dodging the rain, occupying kids and 2 mommies trying not to pull their hair out!

Long over-due update

Yes, it has been long over due (remember this post?)

Every time I would think of it we wouldn’t be home or Chris would be at school or at least not home!

Well, I have finally gotten his permission!

Here is Chris on that fateful day IN the ER… It actually doesn’t look all that bad.

Notice the “line” in his tooth? Yeah, that is where it BROKE in half.

Yup. That break is all the way up into the root of that tooth.

Well, that is an adult tooth.

As in, never to grow a new one in that place again.

When I first realized that, all I could see was dollar signs and money flying out of my fingers.

Well, after seeing a dentist and then an orthodontist, that won’t be the case,

not for a few years at least!

Ortho suggested leaving what was left of the tooth:

See the little piece? It looks like a new tooth growing in?

Nope, that is what my almost-10-year-olds tooth will look like until his mouth stops growing

and they can put an implant in – around age 18.

Isn’t that FABULOUS???

I thought so too!!!

(not so much)
