Mara's first Dental Appointment........ A GO OR A BUST.....

IF ANYONE KNOWS MARA YOU GUESSED IT...

 MY POOR BABY....THE LOOK OF FEAR IN HER LITTLE BROWN EYES...IT'S OKAY HONEY!


A PARTIAL BUST....
She did totally awesome during her ride in the chair and playing with the water, but then when it was time for the dentist to look in her mouth she started to get that worried look in her eyes and covered her teeth with that dreaded lip reflex that all us hygienist despise. I kept saying to myself, " no Mara, don't do it.... but the lips won out and she kept covering her teeth with them"
Dr. Kozuch was able to count the teeth with just the mirror becuase she didn't want the tooth counter in her mouth and he said from an outside appearance everything looks okay, but lets wait until next time to try a cleaning. So hopefully in six months she will let us do the complete cleaning and exam. Mommy is still so proud of you that you didn't cry and at least attempted to get it all done. I love you, sweetie!

ON ANOTHER NOTE...
MORE OF THE WHITE STUFF
SERIOUSLY DO WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN....I AM BEGINNING TO THINK SO
OUR PLOW GUY IS MAKING A NICE LITTLE SIDE BUSINESS OFF OF US THIS WINTER, AND I KEPT PRAYING THAT WE WOULD GET OFF EASY THIS WINTER. IF NOT IN PROPANE, AT LEAST WITH SNOW.
WELL ANYWAY, THE KIDS LOVE IT AND THATS WHAT MATTERS MOST.
 WHATCH OUT, THE BRANCHES ARE ALMOST THROUGH THE WINDOWS. THIS WAS THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL I HAVE EVER SEEN.  WE HAVE A TON OF BROKEN BRANCHES AND SOME OF OUR MOUNTAIN LAUREL GOT DAMAGED TOO. WE ARE HOPING THE CEDAR TREE COMES BACK TO LIFE, RIGHT NOW IT IS LAYING SIDEWAYS.



PICTURE PERFECT VIEWS OF A BEAUTIFUL MORNING WITH THE SUN APPEARING  IN THE SKY UP ABOVE. I THINK IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF SUNSHINE TO MELT ALL OF THIS SNOW. AS MESSY AS IT IS, IT DOES MAKE FOR A BEAUTIFUL YARD.

IT'S OFFICIAL, I'M A TRUE SOCCER MOM!
 WE TOOK THE PLUNGE AND BOUGHT A MINIVAN AND I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED. GOING TO CHURCH THIS MORNING WAS A BREEZE, THREE KIDS IN, THREE KIDS OUT IN RECORD TIME. WE EVEN GOT A GLIMPSE OF ALVIN AND THE CHIMPMUNKS ON THE WAY.  NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY IT, BUT I LOVE MY NEW HONDA ODYSSEY. IT TOTALLY ROCKS THE MINIVAN WORLD.

great post! I too love the minivan life and i never thought i would but when you have three young kids all close together it really is a must. I see that your van fits three car seats in a row, it must be pretty wide, nice!

Wow! Mara looks cute, especially at the part where she was scared. That aside, it's a good thing that all went well. Oh, and that's a nice minivan you have.
