The Question of All Questions

Allie just asked Brett how a baby gets inside a mommy's tummy. Brett gasped and I screamed, "NOOOOOO!" I knew this day would come but now? I gently explained to Allie that women have egss and men have seeds. When a man and a woman love each other, the egg and seeds come together to make a baby. Her response, "Like Melanie and me?" Me: "Yes, just like that." Wow! Is 10:45am to early for a strong drink?

Melanie got her ears pierced a couple weeks ago. She did a great job and only cried a little. Allie stood around the corner and constantly asked, "Is it over yet?" Afterwards, we took the girls to get new shoes. And if you know Melanie, that was pure heaven. But the most exciting news: Brett got a new job! He will be a manager of administration in the engineering department, which is the other side of the company. He will drive a little further to work but he's very excited (and a little nervous too) about this new adventure that begins March 23. All of his hard work is starting to pay off. Kristi has been staying busy with the MOMS Club and Allie's school. Allie will be in the Annual Kindergarten Circus on March 27 as a tightrope walker. The circus raises money to purchase computers and other classroom-related items. Pictures will be posted.

It's Official!

Brett received his Cal Poly diploma in the mail today. He is officially a college graduate! You can send him a note at walter.larrimore@gmail.com

Another One Bites The Dust

Allie lost another tooth last night and she pulled it out herself! The Tooth Fairy brought 1 gold coin and 1 dollar bill. Also congratulations to cousin Ellie who lost her first tooth yesterday. Ya for Ellie!

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.
