The Tooth Fairy

"Losing baby teeth were a part and parcel of one’s life — a symbol of growing up, and it is the tooth-fairy that makes this otherwise dreaded and painful process an exciting one — something to look forward to." 
~Mansi Maheshwari

My kids are growing up... it's bittersweet, really. I'm treasuring this two year glimpse into their childhood.  Hearing their first words, watching their first steps, and celebrating them as they grow up.  I thoroughly enjoy going to the dentist office and I even dressed up as the tooth fairy once for Halloween.  Being "the tooth fairy" and celebrating lost teeth with a "minty" and a dalasi has been a fun way to share American culture :-]  
And just how cute are these snaggletooth grins?!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy!  Enjoy your “dozen”!
Mmm… Krispy Kreme would be so good right now ;-]

Drives in the truck listening and singing along to the Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, ZZ Top, and Bob Segar 
Optimistic~ you are quick to find the good in circumstances and in others
Understanding and kindhearted
God honoring, fearing, and serving
Hugs aplenty that are tight, true, and that tell me I am treasured
Number one grill master, brownie baker, egg deviler, chili cooker, and orange peeler
Up to our necks wading in the ocean when I was little
Telling me how it is time and time again…”guys are stupid”
Sweetest smile, especially when it is shining my way

Much Love!!
