Update on the Shark Teeth

***Update***
We got a call yesterday (3-21-12) from our dentist saying they're going to put off pulling any teeth for awhile.  They think things will resolve on they're own and I'm okay with that. :)


Annie went to the dentist this afternoon, and no cavities (great news!) but, she might have to have her four front bottom teeth pulled (not so great news).  Also, VLCM was awarded the State's PC's store contract.  Which for us means that VLCM won't send another sales rep to Colorado in place of Matt.  We're still waiting for an official offer, but that's one hurdle out of the way.

Sick Tummy and Shark Teeth

Today, Annie got to go to school (her favorite thing in the entire world) after missing three days in the last week and a half.  She got some yucky tummy bug which she had a very difficult time kicking.  She'd be sick and throwing up one day, feel yucky the next, and be just fine by the third day. She'd go to school and then that night, she'd be sick again.  It's not been a very fun cycle.  But today, she was back and so far feeling like herself.  YAY!

Also, yesterday she showed me that she had a grown-up tooth coming in.  The problem is, she hasn't lost any baby teeth.  Oh joy.  Luckily she has a cleaning tomorrow so we'll have our dentist check it out.  She might just loose some baby teeth very quickly.

Can you see the tooth coming in?

For anyone wondering what is going on with Colorado, we don't really know.  Things are on hold for a bit and we hope to know more by the end of April.  It could really go either way.  So for now, we are enjoying being in a neighborhood that we love and enjoy.

Winter Wonderland

So, here it is, March 2 and it finally looks like Christmas.  Yesterday, I wanted to put up my Christmas tree again, re-wrap all the kids presents, watch Christmas movies and drink hot chocolate.  Of course, I didn't do any of those things, but I sure wanted to.

This morning, was cold and crisp.  I got a call from my husband telling me the sky was blue and clear; it would be a great morning to take some pictures with my newly-upgraded Canon Rebel T3i.  Sometimes I forget that I am not actually a slave to my house and I can go shoot pictures on a beautiful snowy morning if I have the desire.  So, Sadie, Michael and I were off.  We just drove around Leland and Salem backroads, and I'd stop when ever I saw something that caught my eye.  I was hoping to get a good shot of Maple Mountain all covered in white with a brilliant blue sky as a backdrop, but the clouds were too dark. So I got West Mountain instead.

 Michael is a great photography buddy as he'll just quietly sit in the back with my phone playing on whatever game is currently in to.  Sadie, on the other hand screamed every time I got out of the car.  That makes Michael even more saintly, as he'd just ignore her.

For about 45 minutes, I drove around.  My third or fourth stop was in front of a herd of cattle.  There were lots of babies and I just had to take their pictures.  I think I made those mama cows very nervous; I was afraid they were going to charge at me.  Luckily, I am still in one piece.  I also nearly got my car stuck in the snow at that spot. What an adventure.

This cow was very friendly.  As soon as I walked over to the fence with my camera, this beauty comes sauntering up to talk.  I was intimidated by those horns with my as I'd just finished shooting the nervous mama cows.  I could have taken quite a few more pictures with this cow if I hadn't been so anxious.

After I was finished, I came home pulling in to the garage.  I went to Sadie's side of the car to unbuckle her and she started crying again.  There is no winning with her today.  I hope she's feeling okay.
