Close Up

Finally 1st Day of School Pictures!

There is a story behind Daniel's shirt. The senior class heard that the county was putting locks on all of the schools to increase safety. They thought it would make their senior year more difficult... like they were in a penitentiary! LOL! Silly seniors, they are putting this on all schools... not to keep you in, but to keep others out!! Anyway, they tried to get black and white striped shirts, but they were too expensive. They ended up with their school color (orange). The shirts really were cute! There are about 350 seniors, I think. They all wore their shirts the first day of school. I can't wait to see the group photos!

Brave Girls at the Dentist

Today was Kelsey and Rachel's first visit to the dentist. At our dentist office, the first visit or 2 are "Happy Visit." The girls went in to see all of the dentist's tools. They got to ride in the chair, have their teeth "counted", try the water, try the air, and feel the spinning toothbrush. I was really impressed, they allowed the hygienist to do more than I thought they would. Morgan was a big help too! They were quite brave with their big sister's arms around them!

There is a story to the other dental chair. On October 2, 2006, I was sitting in this chair when Erin from Harrah's called to say that we were going to become Rachel's parents! I had taken the afternoon off from work. I was a nervous wreck because we had to petition to be Rachel's parents. There were other families that wanted to bring her home. I thought we would get the "yes or no" before my 4:30 dentist appointment. Well, the call didn't come, so I brought my cell to the dentist. Sure enough... Erin called!

Say Cheese at the Same Time? No Way!

Saturday Morning Reunion

On Saturday morning, some of our reunion group went to the Virginia Living Museum. It was HOT! Daniel and Morgan were both a HUGE help. They are both good with kids and the girls all played with them both. I am so proud of how patient and caring they were!
