All I Want for Christmas is ...

Lilly has had a really loose tooth for about 2 weeks.  Today it looked like it was hanging on by less than a thread, but she wouldn't let anyone touch it.  She was too afraid that it was going to hurt.  Finally, this evening she was whining that the tooth hurt and so we pinned Lilly down, and I figured I was going to pull it out.  She kept her mouth shut tight.  Before I was able to pry her mouth open to grab the tooth, I had bumped it from the front and the tooth came out.  Now she doesn't have either of her front teeth.

This week has been tough.  We had an appointment everyday this week for Sarah.  Wednesday's appointment was 6 hours long.  We are grateful that we had extra help from Grandma Pheobe for the week.  She came in on Tuesday night.  Today, we found out how tired she was.

I had my birthday on Friday.  My team at work took me out to lunch.  We went to Lunchbox Laboratories.  It was yummy.  They had a really good pumpkin pie shake.  For dinner, Jess and I went to Chandler's Crabhouse.  That was yummy too.  It had been a while since Jess and I had a night out and it was nice to have some one on one time with my wife.  It was a good birthday.  Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

We are grateful for all the prayers and support that people have given us.  Even those prayers from people across the country can be felt and help to bolster our spirits.
