Heart, Teeth and Ears

Yes, I am quite behind on blogging. Yes, things are good. Yes, we are busy, busy, busy. Here is a quick update on how big my girls are getting. Soon I'll be back to post about our fun trip to Sea World in San Antonio we took three weeks ago.

Notice anything different about the big girl?

That's right! She lost both of her bottom teeth last Thursday. At school...yippee for Mommy! I'm telling you these things had been hanging on by a thread but since Ashlyn is blessed with two parents ooked (yes, I know this isn't a real word but it gets the point across don't you think?) out by losing their own teeth when young, much less by helping someone else pull their teeth out...it took awhile. I'm telling you, just thinking about loose teeth brings a gag reflex to the back of my throat.

Seriously, where has my little girl gone?

Laney too has been asking people for the last week and a half, "Do you notice anything different about me?" Wanna know why? She got her ears pierced! Thanks Uncle Andy, Aunt Kelly and Drewster for the birthday money. I have to admit I was a tad nervous that we'd end up leaving the mall with one ear nicely pierced and the other...well, not pierced.

But she was phenomenally brave. She followed her big sisters ways and there were no tears. Just a big smile.

Here is her after shot...on a fancy lip-gloss kind of day to boot!

And let's not leave out our little princess. I had to snag this shot of Reesie with her purse. It was quite hysterical the other day when we were leaving and she stopped, sayed "purse, purse" and went to grab it before we headed out the door. She wasn't even copying a big sister at the time. Too cute, isn't she?

My little pianist in the making had her first cardiologist appointment in 6 months this past Tuesday. Dr. Kort listened to her heart, said it sounded perfect, looked at her EKG and said it looked perfect and sent us merrily on our way. He said we didn't even need an echo this time around and we don't have to come back for another 6 months. I don't say this lightly...Praise the Lord! He is good!

Like I said, I'll try to be back soon with Sea World pics. May God make His face shine upon you!
