Is Walter helping with that computer game?

Or is he just looking for love?

Hazel got a guitar from her Auntie Auntie Linnie for her birthday. On New Year's Eve, we entertained the family. Eventually, we'll even be able to play songs together.

Lost Tooth!

At nearly 7.5 years old, zelly has finally lost her first tooth.

And here's a fabulous close up:

Last week, she showed us that a new tooth was coming in, but her tooth wasn't loose yet! Thankfully, the next day it loosened up (a lot!) and was out within a few days. Here, you can see the new tooth:

Zelly put her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy after the following discussion:

z: Mama, how does the tooth fairy get under my pillow?
me: well, that's a good question! I don't know, since I was always asleep when she came.
z: hrm. okay.

The tooth fairy left a gold dollar coin. According to zelly, some kids are getting $10 for a tooth... I guess the fairy that comes to our house is a bit more reasonable!

New Play Structure

We've been talking about getting a play structure for at least two years. Last spring, we figured out where to put one and started site prep. It only took us a year to finish the site prep and get something installed! We purchased a Rainbow structure with installation included. Due to our taking soooo long to do the site prep (hence our work over the last few weeks not being that big a deal) and Rainbow being able to complete the installation in under four hours, we were able to completely surprise Zelly! She got home from daycare and went out to a ready-for-play structure. How awesome is that?!?!
