Conni Lost Her Tooth!

We noticed Conni's first wiggly tooth on New Year's Eve.  Since then she's been wiggling it like crazy.  We had a dentist appointment this month and we were able to see all her permanent teeth growing in.  It was cool and creepy all at once - and I didn't get a picture to share!  

But anyway.  We saw how loose Conni's tooth was yesterday and convinced her we could pull it.  Dave tried to wiggle it out, but that hurt too bad.  Then he tried to grab it with a "floss lasso".  It moved but didn't come out.  Conni was getting a little frustrated, so I took a turn.  First try, I flicked her tooth right out!

We left it for the tooth fairy in our tooth fairy doll with a sweet note from Conni.  The tooth fairy traded the tooth for two dollars and another note. 

As much as I miss the baby stage of firsts - we are entering a whole new fun world of firsts.  

Funny side note - I still remember the day Conni's first tooth broke thru as an infant.  It was a Sunday in January 2009.  We all had colds and stayed home from Stake Conference that day.  Well, this week was Ward Conference, Dave and Conni had colds and stayed home from church.  Kind of a funny coincidence!

Enjoy some pictures!

Time for Recommitments

Hello blogging world.  I'm Patti.  We used to be friends.  I've been away.  Can we be friends again?  

We have had so many fun things happen since my last post in, um, ahem, August.  I hope to get posts up here in our journal soon.  I'm a little embarrassed to my two readers that I've been so inactive.  I hereby recommit to you to blog weekly.  It may be the next several weeks are just my catch up posts.  But we had some fantastic times that I really would like to share.  

In the meantime, here's a smattering of cute pics from my phone of some of our happenings, in no particular order.  Be back soon my friends!
