Snaggle tooth

Ava showed me her loose tooth one day in May. Later that day, she fell on some gravel and hit her face and one loose tooth became two very loose teeth. I have seen her baby a loose tooth before, never wiggling it and barely allowing it to be brushed but I still thought she would end up losing at least one of the teeth before school was out for summer. Here are the teeth today.

The teeth are practically floating and they now change shape on a daily basis. at one point she had a huge gap on one side which caused people to ask her if she lost a tooth. Now one is wonky forward and downward and one is wonky back. My question now is will se still have them when she starts school again in 3 weeks?

It's not my first choice in haircuts for my son but Asher is SO excited.  Contrary to his original theory, they did not take the hair they cut off of the sides and pile it up in the middle of his head. The ladies at great clips know what they are doing!

Hooray for summer!

I can't believe it's already July! Here are some pics from the last couple of days...Ryan mowing with the kids (this is the part where he ran out of gas) and the peaches I canned with our dear neighbor, Melanie. It was our first foray into canning and it was a success. Did it save us money? No. Time? We spent a lot of it. But we had fun and these are tasty peaches.  wish I had the beach pics ready to share-maybe next time!

kitchen before pics

This is our kitchen before remodel, which is not as bad as mid-remodel. It just got worse with every layer of vinyl we removed.

(almost) Finished Kitchen!

We (almost) finished our kitchen weeks or maybe months ago. Sorry for not posting sooner. I'd post when it's actually finished, but I don't know when we (ryan) will get back to the odds and ends. Who needs outlet covers anyway? just kidding, mom.

For Context purposes, here I am standing in the family room looking at the kitchen. Previously, the wall with the mirror continued, closing the kitchen off.
