Avery's first tooth is out!

I came home from work this morning to discover that Avery has FINALLY lost her first baby tooth.  She was so excited.  We put it under her pillow in the hopes that the tooth fairy would trade it in for some cash.  Asher was a bit freaked out by all this... he did NOT want to wake up with some weirdo fairy in his room!  Nevertheless, the tooth fairy did come and brought $5, with a note stating that she wouldn't be getting this much money in the future, but since she lost it at school and it was her first one, it was special. :)

Weekend report

We had a nice weekend. Saturday after lunch we drove to the Children's Museum in Flint where we met up with my friend Leah and her husband Joey, and their kids Jaden and Kacey.  We were there a few hours and the kids really seemed to have a good time. Afterwards we drove to Linda, Richard and Mike's for a drop in visit.  Linda was in the hospital earlier this week with a blood clot.  I drove down to see her on Wednesday, but wanted to check in.  We only stayed half an hour or so before driving home.  We got to stop at the Olive Garden in Saginaw on the way and had a wonderful dinner (so long diet).  There was about a 45 minute wait and the kids were both so good.

Sunday after church I went grocery shopping, then the Coady's came by. Kate and I made about 150 meatballs while the kids played and the guys worked on Katie's car.  While the meatballs were cooking, we played Clue, Spot-it and Bananagrams and drank wine (me and Katie).  The kids all played together really well and everyone like the meatballs we had for dinner.
