tooth out, tooth in

bless lori's heart. she had her wisdom tooth pulled yesterday, and she expected to be in less pain once the useless thing was out of her mouth... but she is feeling pretty miserable. she wants to bounce right back to play with me and ethan (and just to get back to life in general!!), and she's trying her best... but oral surgery is no picnic. so please say a prayer for lori. pray that she will have patience with her recovery and pray that her recovery is swift. i'm glad to be able to be of some help around her house while i'm here.

on a more exciting note, baby boy has a little white dot on the bottom of his gums!!! it's about time!! i'll have to post pictures tomorrow if i can get one. praise the Lord that i can see a tooth because it's a little easier to deal with the crankiness when i know it's teething. he has not been too bad, but he's definitely crankier than usual (he must just miss his daddy!!). he slept fine last night and has taken some great naps today, so maybe he's gonna be a sleeping teether... ooooh that would be nice!

ethan and i went to visit kari today... what a cute house she and brad have! they've done a great job remodeling. we went to lunch and caught up. it was really nice to visit... i wish we could see her more often! we go way back... since 1st grade! that's about 20 years. man, that's a long time. here's a picture of kari with me and ethan. not sure what ethan's trying to say...



other than my visit to kari's, today was a lazy, rainy day. ethan and i took a big fat nap, and tonite we all watched olympics.

lori's kids are just so sweet....and that 2 year old is getting a good lesson in sharing all her things this week! lori brought down her old high chair, johnny jump up, and all her toys that she has shown no interest in in over a year for ethan to use while we're here... well, of course they are her favorite things right now. :) she is also very interested in ethan's sippy cups, and yesterday i caught her walking around with his pacifier in her mouth. :) ha. it was pretty cute. she is used to being the baby around the house. :) she is practicing this whole sharing thing, and it's a blessing to see her willingly give ethan her toys...

more stories about the kiddos later.
