4th tooth gone....

An update from last week, Killian finally lost his 4th tooth, so it is now official, he has lost all 4 front teeth, two on bottom and two on top!

Something Good...

One of my goals of 2011 is to find something good in everyday.  I realize there will be days when this is challenging, but I just think it is important because I want to be a less negative person this year.  What are your goals for the year?

Tooth Update

For all of you out there who just can't sleep because you haven't had a tooth update, I want you to know that Killian now officially looks like a hillbilly...  He will be loosing his 4th tooth any day now, I will try to post a picture soon!

Merry Christmas...

I hope that your Christmas was as wonderful as ours.  I think Chad would agree with me that we would totally give up all our gifts just for the joy that is in the boys faces as they come downstairs on Christmas morning.  What a feeling... Definitely one of the most precious of parenting moments....  Here is some excitement saved on film.

oh Killian... I heart you....

I just got an email from Killian's teacher with this picture attached:

This morning when they were doing writing she told them they could write anything they wanted to write about Christmas.  This is sort of like the license plate game for those of us who don't teach kindergarten, so after the picture she sent me the translation:

"Happy Birthday Jesus!  You are my Savior.  Have fun at Bethlehem."

Gotta love that kid:)

PJHS Orchestra "Stuff"

I have my last performances of the semester coming up (thank goodness) with my holiday strings playing at the Children's Museum in Uptown Normal on Sunday (at 1 p.m.; fyi this is my way of getting away with doing Christmas music, which I LOVE!) and my PJHS Winter Concert on Monday night at 7 p.m.  At that concert we are raffling off a music stand (donated by The Music Shoppe and painted by Amy Orwig) tickets are only $1 each or 6 for $5; the best part is it is 100% profit for us!!!  If you are interested in a ticket (come on you know you always wanted an orange stand with a python painted on it,) email me or comment and I can get back to you with info.
