Tooth #2 - gone!

Jules - "Let me take a selfie!"

If you've ever been around Jules and a smart phone, then you know to keep it out of her grasp.  Otherwise, you'll end up with a stream of her selfies.  Case in point - last night I had dinner with some friends and we were discussing this favorite pastime of Jules, and one friend said - "I think I have a few of Jules' selfies on my phone!"  Sure enough, she did :)

Here's what I found on my camera stream:

First Lost Tooth!

It was a big weekend for Wills Ryan - he lost his first tooth on Friday and learned to ride his bike on Saturday! 

His two front teeth on the bottom have been "wiggly" for a few months now - but it wasn't until we went to the dentist 2 weeks ago that we realized his permanent teeth were already well on their way out. The dentist gave Wills 2-8 weeks to get those suckers out, and here we go!

Wills lost it at school on Friday - he said he bumped his head on the playground and went to the nurse, then went back to his classroom and his tooth felt "even more wiggly".  I guess he pushed it right out.  He went back to the nurses office and got a tooth necklace on a green string to save it.  He was so proud! 

The Tooth Fairy was very generous!  5 bucks!

Pics of the bike riding to be posted soon!

Good Times at the Lake

We didn't get to the lake as much as we wanted to this summer, but when we were there, we had a great time!  The kids love riding in the boat, swimming at the lake, and fishing off the dock. And playing Jenga!

 

 

In Georgetown

Tim and I went to Georgetown for Robert's sister Anna's wedding - it was a nice little getaway, and we had fun with the Martin family! And we were super-grateful to Kathy for coming to Greenville to watch the kids!

 

 

A Real-Life Cinderella

Jules has been known to wear her Cinderella costume all day, for multiple days in a row (when we let her).  I thought it was pretty funny when she also wanted to help with chores - how appropriate! Just like Cinderella before she became a princess.

Jules is Playing Soccer!

Jules is playing soccer at the Y - she is on the 3 year old team.  This is her first time playing any sort of sport, and she loves the idea of it.  Now if we can just get her to play!  Just kidding, of course, she gets out there every once in a while...and last night she scored her first goal (huge props to her coach for clearing the way and encouraging her to go for it). 

 

The soccer fields are right next to a baseball field, and wouldn't you know my little girl who loves everything princesses and dresses would rather spend her time playing in the dirt than on the soccer field.  Twice now I've had to bribe her to play by saying she can play in the dirt after the game.

 

 

 

I had to zoom in because I thought the face Jules was making (on purpose) was so funny!  She didn't know what to think about that photographer :)
