Taking Care of the Pearly Whites


Carter sprouted four teeth at 10 months old.  Two on top, two on the bottom.
Now, at 19 months old, those four teeth are FINALLY getting some company in the form of molars!
Carter is already learning about good oral hygiene.  We let him brush his own teeth before we help and the result is...well, comical.  :)

Blog Woes


I haven't been a diligent blogger lately.

Oh, you noticed?  :-/

I'll make another embarrassing confession:  I haven't been reading many blogs, either.

But I'll tell you what makes me feel slightly better about my lack of blogosphere activity... YOU  haven't been blogging either!

That's right...YOU. 
I, along with hundreds of thousands of others, am having to make the tedious transition away from Google Reader (it goes dark on July 1).  As I've been taking inventory of the 65 blogs I follow,  I've become sadly aware of how many favorites have been abandoned. 

So, it's time to do some purging, and some freshening up, too.

If the date of your last blog post ends with "2011," you will probably disappear from my reader list.  Maybe that doesn't make you sad.  But I'll be wiping tears away with every push of the "delete" button.  (sniff...sniff) 

MAYBE there's hope!  MAYBE your next blog post is just around the corner, and a plea to SAVE your feed is in order!  Well, I'm all ears.  Eyes.  Whatever.  Go.

lianadickson.wordpress.com ....You were one of my favorites.  I've grieved your blog since your last post on April 5, 2010.  PLEASE tell me your new life adventure will produce some great blog fodder!!
deborahdanielle.blogspot.com... Sure, the subtitle of your blog reads: "I'm not very reliable with this blog.  Don't get too excited."  But your unhealthy obsession with Kelly Clarkson makes me feel more normal.  I need your blog in my life.
redmollycooks.wordpress.com... your humorous spin on recipe writing is just as savory as the recipes themselves.  I know you're very busy writing trivia questions and updating your Facebook status, but I miss the culinary inspiration.
eskimomomma.blogspot.com... I last heard from you on June 19, 2012.  Your manner of honest writing is always refreshing and, frankly, I just like keeping tabs on you from across the state!  I hope you find some inspiration to get eskimomomma back up and running!
alberico.net...I need more pictures of your cutie-patootie in his glasses!!  It's been TWO YEARS since you posted last!!
sluderfamily.blogspot.com...The "royal couple" is now about to have their first baby, and your last post was the day of their wedding.  There are SO many reasons I want your blog to continue... ;-)
ibby66.wordpress.com...Your writing always makes me so proud!  I knew you were a smart cookie when you brought C.S. Lewis to read in Second Grade.  I hope that summer vacation will free up some time for you to write!

And, I'm just going to throw this out there....HEIDI SNAVELY, you need to write a blog.  The end.

Alright, enough pleading from me. 
I expect my blogroll will be drastically reduced in the days to come, which means I have room for GREAT blogs to read!  Do you know of any must-read blogs?  What are your favorites?

Our Daddy is the Best!

Our Daddy is the best.
He makes us giggle.
He puts our blankies under his shirt to make his tummy look big.
He gives big strong hugs.
He can eat his dinner REALLY fast! 
Our Daddy helps people at his job.
He is always excited to see us when he comes home from work.
Sometimes he takes us out for ice cream!
Our Daddy builds forts when it's too cold to play outside.
And he helps us on the playground when the sun is out!
Our Daddy teaches us about Jesus;
How to be kind.
How to share.
How to show love.
We know our Daddy loves us because he tells us every day.
 And we love him, too...
to the moon and back and back and back and back....




 HAPPY DADDY'S DAY to our favorite DADDY!!

(Note from the author:  I promise to post another entry before Mother's Day rolls around again...)
