Missing Teeth and Balloons

This weekend was pretty good.  Sarah got a slight fever on Sunday morning so we kept her home from church.  She wanted to go and if she wasn't dealing with leukemia, we probably would have let her go.  I struggle sometimes with what I think is best.  Jess is much more cautious than I and it is a good thing.  I defer to her a number of medical matters, where she has the upper hand in knowledge and experience.  There is always next week for Sarah to go to Church.

I went to the temple on Saturday.  On the way home, I called home and got informed that Lilly had lost another tooth.  That makes 4 teeth lost for Lilly.  This was one of her front teeth though.  Maybe she will be singing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" this year.

Gus has an obsession with balloons.  Sarah brought one home from going shopping to get new shoes to help her tendons in her feet stay stretched.  As soon as he saw the balloon, he was saying "balloon" and trying to get to it.  He loves to play with them.  Jess got out some bubbles to blow for him.  He recognized what they were.  He was playing on my tummy at the time, in the middle of the floor.  He got himself off, and I helped him stand, thinking he could practice walking, but as soon as he had a direct path toward Jess, he started running.  It was pretty funny.  He made it to Mom, but she wasn't ready yet to catch him, so he tumbled on the floor.  He quickly straighten himself, so he could play with the bubbles.  He is a crazy kid sometimes.
