Two Front Teeth

Jordan's two front teeth were both loose. One of them has been ready to come out for a while. Well, yesterday we took a trip out of the city, and wrapped up our day with a Target run. Jordan was swinging the shopping cart around and it hit her square in the front teeth. They both fell out along with a lot of blood! She knew she was bleeding pretty bad, but freaked out when she saw herself in the mirror. It was a gusher! Mama freaked out too, which didn't help matters. She was fine minutes later. Seeing her without her two front teeth was a little sad, because it reminded us of how fast she is growing up.

The tooth fairy was shocked to see 2 teeth. She left $6. Not bad!

Jiminy Peak

Our friends invited us to their father's home in Lenox, Ma last week during Jordan's winter recess. It was the first time skiing for Jordan, Christine and myself. Fortunately, there are no action photos. I'm sure we didn't look too good. Actually, Christine looked pretty good. After one trip down, she had it down. She looked like she belonged there. But for me, skiing is much more awkward than I would have imagined. And packed snow is only slightly more cushiony than a parking lot when you land on it. I still have some aches and pains.

On Jordan's third day, it clicked with her. She graduated from Jiminy Cricket (the bunny slope) to the 180 (novice slope). She'll be better than me by next winter.

Brooke's Beautiful Eyes

Brooke is growing way too fast for me. She is starting to seem more like a toddler and I feel I am losing my baby (Bryant still says she is the last one). She is not walking yet but pulling up on everything and into everything she can reach. This is her pulling up on my legs and saying Mama. This is a hard face to resist so I usually end up picking her up. Will blog again when she starts taking steps.

Our family as a whole is doing wonderful and life is very good. We feel so very blessed to be having such amazing opportunities and making true friendships. Jordan and Sam are both doing amazing.

Love to all and miss everyone, Christine

P.S. from Bryant regarding our last baby: What Christine is not understanding is there will always be a last baby that gets big and stops being a baby. I'm just trying to help her get past that point. It's inevitable. Plus, what is wrong with 3? There are 3 in the Trinity. Why try to top that? Can I get an Amen?

Buzz!
