Toothless

The picture below will let you know what the excitement was at our house today. Juan lost his two front teeth! They have been loose (we think since they came to us), but of course he didn't want anyone to touch them. He had not been biting any food with them, but was always using the teeth on the sides. Hard to eat an apple that way, but he did it. Anyway, Maicol, Juan and I were jumping on the trampoline and there was a little accident between the two brothers. When Juan got up he was minus his two front teeth! Maicol was afraid he had done something bad, but I told him "it's OK" - which is a phrase he uses frequently even if it's not "OK". He still hugged his brother to let him know he was sorry. After a very few tears and a good mouthwash he is very excited to be minus the teeth. I think from what he said he thinks he'll have new teeth tomorrow. I'm afraid he is going to be really disappointed. The new ones are not even visible yet. We did find the missing teeth on the trampoline, so we have saved them. He was very excited to show Papa when he got home from working today.
They are excited to go to church tomorrow. They all went to their respective Sunday School classes last week and evidently had a good time. I'm glad to see them getting to know other kids. They seem to get along and be able to play even with the limited English they know.
Still no snow even remotely in sight. The weatherman had better come up with some pretty soon, or my boys are going to think they have been lied to. :)
Enjoy your Sunday.

Hi, Things just keep happening. I guess it's good all those things are normal kid things. Grandpa is getting ready for church so we will be out the door soon. Please post the boys birthdays. Love you, Mom

Wow. Toothless, and how! Thanks for the pix. I can't believe how they've gone from tee-shirts on the first trampoline shots to coats already. It's been kind of cold here, but not much below 40. Still nice enough to rake leaves with a coat and hat on. Catharine got a new rake so she can help Daddy, but mostly she walks behind him dragging the rake with the tines up in the air. Oh well.

Wow. That's a big smile! Daniel was working his teeth out to get the tooth fairy money....
