Good news, I just checked and I can see both of them. Whew!

Grace has lost both of her front teeth in the last week and a half. Hopefully they'll both come in quickly. The first one is already coming down. When Evan lost his second one it took seven months to come back in. We'll have to see if Grace's takes that long.

We decided to do a bunch of projects around the house with our tax refund this year. Our water pressure has been really low and the sprayers on the showers and faucets keep getting gunked up. So the first thing on the list was for Ray to flush the water heater and put a new shower head in our bathroom. I put up cellular blinds in all of our rooms. Wes and Grace's rooms get fairly warm in the summer. We also didn't want the corded blinds any more since Wes is spending a lot more time playing in his room or Evan and Grace's room. We also have plans to fix up the basement and spend more time down there. And the kids play down there. It is noticeable colder and we only have one vent. So Ray started putting in more. And I'm going to install cellular shades in the windows tomorrow. We're also going to add some insulation between the store room and the finished area. Hopefully that will warm it up. We still have a long list of projects but at least we've crossed some off. We had the kids come down to see the new vent that Ray finished and Evan threw his arms around us and said "Thank you guys for all of the things you do for us!" It was really nice to hear.

Gracie's dance for diabetes.

Wessie napping.

Cuddling with the babies.

I was worried that Wes wouldn't take a nap today since we changed up his bed but he got in without a fight. He did roll around for a while like he usually does but never got out and then he rolled over and went to sleep.

Evan's dance for diabetes at school. He did so good!

We finally converted Wes to the toddler bed. He's ecxited.

I forgot to post pics from Grace's party because my phone was giving me trouble. So here are a few. Grace's 7th birthday!

I won four games from Ray at tennis this morning!!!! And the kids did great, no complaining about going, good attitudes while we were there, and they're really improving their game as well.

My antique sewing machine came in. It's nearly 100 years old. I think it adds some interest to the space.

Took the kids to the zoo. It was nice to get.out for a while.

Gracie and I just finished putting together her birthday present from Will and Robin.

Ice festival

Stopped off at Blueberry Hill.

Heading to lunch at Gokul and then the ice festival with Will and Robin. I'm pretty sure We're going to freeze to death so I brought a hot chocolate trolly. :) My plan is to leave the bad and just fill up the cups before we go I to the festival. I'll post pics later.

Family hug time.

Yay! This year's christmas quilt top is finally done! I'm actually waiting on another yard of the backing fabric from Etsy. I bought 8 yards when I started but it wasn't enough. The fabric store was sold out. Luckily someone had a few yards they wanted to get rid of. So once it comes in, I should be able to make a quilt sandwich and start free motion quilting it on my fancy new machine!
