Another Day in Paradise...or 9112 Thoroughbred Run

Paradise might seem like a stretch when a house is full of children, lots of laundry, dirty carpet, dirty dishes and a rings around the toilets, but for Bo and me we wouldn't want life any other way.  These things which define us right now will be fleeting and quickly change before our eyes.  So in the middle of the chaos, I hope to remember the special moments, the kind words among so many unkind, the cute questions and the snuggling.
Last week was the week of teeth.  Sarah Jane cut two teeth in one week.  She was quite the cranky, runny nose, diarreha baby, but we survived.  We also found Jack's missing tooth!  Yes, I said missing because at age 3 one is not supposed to loose a tooth.  On January 31st he had his front, top tooth knocked out while playing outside.  We couldn't find it at the time and the dentist wrote a note to the tooth fairy to vouch for the missing tooth.  Thanks Dr. Trey!  Once we were getting used to looking at our snaggled-toothed three year old, Meg and her friend Mary Fuller found the tooth...two weeks after the incident!

Our sweet boy went from this...

to this....

In the meantime while Mary Fuller and Meg were playing, they decided to have a tea party for two.  It was so fun to watch them act prim and proper.

Just look at that little pinky!

This next picture cracked me up because the girls took complete control and the boys just had to hold on for dear life!

We are so thankful for friends!
