E's dentist appt was bumped up to this week, which is good. The next week is his break. Monday we're doing all his appointments, T-F he'll do science camp.

Here's Em napping at school today. For those of you who know her, that's a Sister Monson Blanket she sleeps with every afternoon.

hi guys

you know why I'm not blogging much? everything's over on that darn facebook.

is anybody reading this?


anyway, busy times everybody.

the photo below is E at the dentist, he loves it there. unfortunately, we have to go back soon because he has two major cavities down to the pulp and it's got to get fixed. thankfully we do have some dental insurance coverage.

The other photo is hanging in the school hallway - his class did a day about skin color and there is his self portrait. He writes "my skin is like almond and peach". they had a whole food spectrum like gingerbread, chocolate, etc.
