New school year...

Christian and Sarah with their cousin Timmy

Wow, it's been busy around here lately...lots happening and with very little time for blogging (which in my opinion is a good thing).

The transition into the new school year went fairly smoothly. We had some guests in August...Cousins Timmy, Lilly, Tia Helia and...the tooth fairy. We had a loose tooth and mommy and daddy had to figure out how we felt about the entire tooth fairy thing (we don't do santa nor the easter bunny...at least not in the way that everyone seems to do it)...so we prayed about it and decided to do it our own way. When Sarah asked if the tooth fairy would show up, I just told her that since it was such a fun thing to do that we could certainly do it if she liked...maybe mommy could play tooth fairy this time and next time daddy would, if that sounded ok...and she was so excited! So when her tooth finally came out (with a little help from daddy), she left it under her pillow in a little bag at night and 'the tooth fairy' left some money in its place the next morning. Then in true Sarah fashion she wanted the tooth back...and because she was in on the whole fun game, she was able to get it.
