time flies instead of teeth

haven't been here in a LONG time...

i will not bore you with any excuses, for that's all they would be.

we are enjoying mild weather after a crazy white christmas.

avery is at the park with the neighborhood thugs...not really...all good boys.

tobin is on his way to arkansas city, kansas to ride some trails with his neighborhood thugs. two of which are celebrating birthdays.

i just returned from a long neighborhood walk with ripley and sat down to browse the interweb. i started checking out a blog i hadn't visited in a while and was inspired to post something here.

a mom blogged about her boy losing his first tooth. the boy wrote a very nice note to the toothfairy asking her NOT to take his tooth. he even shed tears of worry that she might.

a memory of MY boy, losing his first tooth, writing a very nice note to the toothfairy asking her NOT to take his tooth, shedding tears of worry, instantly popped into my mind.

i hadn't thought of that in a long time. i have stacks of journals in my closet where i have recorded the smallest of details in my life through the years and i imagine this story lives in one of them...but i thought i would share.

shortly before losing his first tooth...

first upper tooth...gone!

where did time go?...guess the toothfairy had to take something...
