For the record


Emma lost her first tooth. Several weeks ago.
After it came out she lost it again (or Sophie did) and we haven't seen it since. The tooth fairy came through anyway, eventually.

The big kids are cashing in some hard earned screen time while Sophie gets her body acclimated to the Alaskan time zone.

Hummingbird trap

The other day a hummingbird (or "honey bird" as Sophie calls it) got stuck in our garage. Emma stood perfectly still and pretended to be a bush so the bird would fly to her.


That didn't work, so we shooed it outside with a broom. Silly bird.

This is what Ethan does when the rest of us are smiling during family photos.

Overheard

SOPHIE: Mom! We heard a sound like...like...We heard a sound like...um...
SOPHIE: Mom!
GINGER: Yes?
SOPHIE: We heard a sound.

Overheard

Sophie was hanging out with me in the dressing room at a clothing store today while I tried on some jeans. She was not having fun. Finally she had had enough, and said this:

"That looks like comfy clothes. NOW GET OUT."
