Exhibit A: I made Katie a girly tooth fairy pillow. The poor child was the only kid in her kindergarten class to not lose a single tooth during the entire school year. They even gave out an award on the last day of school to one of her classmates that lost the most teeth during the year--no kidding it was like 7 teeth! Anyhoo, my poor little late bloomer (not to mention the youngest in her class who didn't even get her first tooth until she was almost 14 months old,) has yet to lose a tooth. So with joy we celebrate her first loose tooth. She will be getting this pillow for her birthday later this week.
Exhibit B: Will has a wet suit that fits him just fine. (Thanks to Uncle Ted.) We actually have quite a collection of wetsuits for our children and generally for the children of any friends that accompany us to the lake. However, last weekend when the Wagners went with us (and might I add that it was a fabulous time!), all of the smallish wetsuits were either accidentally left at home or in use by the little ones, so Kyle didn't have one that fit him well. So he wore a small adult one that he was practically swimming in. We realized that in just a few years time that we will need more larger wet suits than we currently possess for the kiddos. Therefore when Lance was at Costco yesterday they had one left so he bought it, size 12, which Will won't need for another 10 years. (But he is quite adorable, is he not?)
Exhibits C & D: After the cold front that blindsided us with which the only consolation was apple crisp and the debut of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, we have welcomed with open arms more warm weather! Yay! Therefore, it necessitated a purchase of flowers to help us celebrate a Colorado-style Fall. Lilies are my favorite, Syd picked out the orange ones and I found the burgundy dahlias were a nice Autumn compliment.
Lance just so happened to surprise us the same night with some sunflowers--Katie's favorite--I think, since he is going to be out of town for her birthday. 
Exhibit E: Still loving the fresh fruit that summer brings. The kids and I just can't get enough. I guess if Colorado Falls give you this beautiful bounty and allow you to wash it down with a Pumpkin Spice Latte, one really can't complain.
There you have it.

Katie... don't feel bad. Maddie STILL hasn't lost a tooth either! Two are wiggling, but not close yet... Jess, want to make Maddie a girly pillow too :-)
