And It's Outta Here

Allie lost her very first tooth tonight. There was a little blood when it came out. We all know how Allie hates blood, so that was fun. Ms. Tooth Fairy will be visiting tonight. I wonder how much teeth are worth these days?

Michael News

Michael, who serves in the U.S. Navy aboard USS Antietam, leaves for deployment on Saturday Jan. 17 and due to return mid-July. My cousin-to-be, Drew, also serving in the Navy aboard USS Stennis, will be leading the group of ships. We will miss them but are grateful for their sacrifice in protecting our rights and freedoms. Last week, my brother and his fiance announced they eloped in October, 2 weeks after they got engaged. They are having a symbolic ceremony in October that will take place in Japan, where Rumi's family resides. Upon their return, there will be a reception here in So Cal for the rest of us.

Another Tooth?

Allie has another loose tooth. She's been wiggling and wiggling her other loose tooth since New Year's Eve. It's going to be another week or two until that one falls out.

Then there's Melanie, who has been drooling like crazy. So there's probably another tooth that's getting ready to pop out.

I discovered another tooth in Melanie's mouth. This will make 11 chompers. One girl's loss is another girl's gain.
