1st visit to dentist

This week Joel went to the dentist for the first time.  I wasn't sure how it would go . . . but I was able to finish looking at my magazine during the appointment if that tells you anything!  He was intrigued with the suction, tooth polisher, and water sprayer.  So she was able to get through the whole cleaning without a problem.  No cavities!  The bad news is that he has a significant under-bite that will need to be corrected through a number of steps . . . eventually leading to braces. :(   Hmmm . . maybe we should look into getting dental insurance. 

David has been auctioneering all day at Schrader Marketing Center's summer consignment sale.  We went to Freeport's farmer's market this morning and bought some triple berry jam, zucchini bread, rhubarb, and lettuce.  Then we found a few garage sales on the way home.  Joel did not take a nap today and it is showing in his emotions so he will go to bed EXTRA early tonight!

It's cooler but I'm feeling unmotivated to do anything requiring much energy today.

Only in the country

A few minutes ago, as I was folding laundry in our living room, something unusual came trotting down our lane.  A fox!  David hopes that he wasn't out feasting on the baby lambs.  Joel was in the room with me, so he was able to see it with me.

Big steps . . . .

It seems like Micah woke up this morning and thought, "Hmm. . .since I'll be 15 months on Saturday, it's time that I be like my mama and big brother (who both started @ 15 months) and start walking today!"   Over the past two weeks, he's been taking a few steps here and there, but today, he has really taken off!  He just walked by pushing Joel's toy lawnmower.

What a deal!

Last week, after Micah got his 1-year shots, I stopped by a indoor rummage sale.  Look what I was able to buy for only $14!  (not including the wooden chest)

A little grand piano/bench, a lawn mower for Micah (that is identical to one that Joel has), a cash register complete with play food, a practically-new drum set, a tricycle, Etch-a-Sketch, and a basket full of Mega Blocks with a wagon



In other news, Joel had the stomach flu last Sunday and I thought no one else would catch it.  I was wrong!  Micah starting throwing up yesterday, continued this morning, and is finally stopping (I hope!).  I feel like I haven't been to church in a long time.
