Tooth Fairy time!

Ethan lost his first tooth!  It took him until 6 1/2 years old, but I'm so glad-I love little baby teeth!  And his were so cute.  They really match his little features.  I can't see how a bigger tooth will fit into such a small space, but we did notice that the other little tooth in the next space is now loose.  My baby is growing up!  He was very brave and let his Daddy pull it (you could move the tooth almost horizontal, so it was definitely time).  James said, "ok, on three", then counted, "one, two, oops!" and pulled.  Ethan didn't even feel it.  the tooth fairy was on vacation the first night, but came and left a present for the next night.  Hopefully the tooth fairy will be in town next time!

A Tribute to one of America's heroes

I think all firefighters are heroes. They truly put their lives on the line for us everyday, with wives and children praying for their safe returns every night. One of my dear friends, Heather, lost her grandfather recently. He passed away April 9th at home with his loving wife and family. I had the priviledge of traveling to meet him in Maryland before his passing, and seeing all of the pictures, achievement rewards, and even a surprise visit his fire department to let him see "his" original firetruck. And it was a beauty! God Bless you John Summers and your dedication to America! We love you!
