Isn’t my boy too little to have a loose tooth? He seems apprehensive about it. This is new territory for us. I guess it’s time to decide if the tooth fairy is going to visit our home or not. What if he swallows it? Does that happen? Will it bleed a lot? What if he freaks out? Maybe I’m overreacting?
Oh my!
I may or may not have put raisins and Cheez-Its in my kids’ Easter eggs…
Okay. I did. And they might have been a lil’ surprised, but they liked it!
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Well, now that our trip to South Africa was about a half year ago… I’m finally finishing up posting about it! Nice, huh?
The trip home was… well, lets be honest, I can’t remember what it was like anymore. But I did have a few pictures that sparked my memory…
The airport in Johannesburg has these nifty luggage carts that are made to go up and down escalators. This was my first time seeing this. And frankly, it’s FREAKY to roll that big cart onto an escalator and stand behind it. That takes faith. Ha! Too bad it didn’t quite stay loaded properly in this instance!
Here was another first. The Egypt Air flight attendant instructed me to tuck a pillow between the belly (I was six months pregnant) and my seatbelt? Really?! He said it was safer for the baby.
Hmmnnn. There is a first time for everything. I had a nice little chuckle there in my seat with a pillow buckled in my seatbelt during take off and landing.
Indeed, baby wasn’t harmed. :)
Here we are approaching our land of sand…
And here is my little stinker, pretty happy on the airplane.
What an incredible two weeks it was.
We cheered ‘em on today, and it worked! Go Bucks! Must have been these three cute good luck charms, right?
I have to say that I can really appreciate and enjoy a good basketball game under the right conditions. You know, like… a proper television at a normal time of day on a comfy couch in a climate controlled room?
Basketball games in the past 6.5 years have traditionally been watched on a laptop streaming the game over a crappy internet connection in the middle of the night in a super hot room with the fan on so high you can’t even hear it…
Today was nice.
Also, the littlest Buckeye gave me some more grins today!
When my boy H was a wee one, I did a vocabulary lesson. Today we will review. With photos this time.
1. Milk Bomb: A baby who has a full belly of milk and isn't able to close the stomach flap (that is NOT the medical term) fully. Milk might fly at any moment... so you better watch out. Milk could exit the infant in a gurgle or with a more projectile force.
This photo cracks me up. This demonstrates the more projectile force. And yes, that is spit up in my husband’s goatee. Ha! Good one little girlie!
2. Milk Bum (not to be confused with term #1): A baby who has a full belly of milk and seems very satisfied. This state can be identified by the half-closed and glazed over eyes, the goofy crooked grin, and the drunken-like-state in which the baby is behaving. Mothers, this is a good sign.
These are the newborn portraits I took of Lil’ A… but now she is already a month old! The last photos are my absolute favorites…
