At Last!

Yep, Callie FINALLY lost her first tooth!  I know, she's turning 8 this year, so she's a late-late bloomer in the tooth department. 

Unfortunately, she still needs that other bottom tooth out.  You can see the permanent tooth has grown in behind it and that baby tooth has no intention of leaving.  We were at the dentist a month ago and she said if it didn't come out, it would have to be pulled.  Guess what is scheduled for tomorrow?!  

Guess who is not thrilled about it?

And guess who now has the cutest whistling lisp when she tries to make her "s" sounds?!

Callie and Marian finally got their Orange Belts in Karate.  I think Joshua leveled up to green, but he's in a different class and I didn't get pictures!

 Here they are getting their new belts.  They were quite pleased.  They did a good job on their Kata.  They had to stand in front of the class and show certain moves and they looked pretty good to me!  I guess they looked good to the instructors as well, because they got their new belts.

Rylee was not impressed with the proceedings.  She saw the camera and said, "Take a picture of me!"

Camera hog?  Why yes, yes she is!  A dang cute one at that. 

Here are my lovely ladies with their certificates of belt whatever it is. I love these kids!
