First cavity...

How does it happen? We brush our kids teeth morning and night--could it be the few times we've skipped??? Do we not know how to brush teeth???
Reese had a discolored spot on his tooth and when we would brush his teeth he said it hurt. We called the dentist and then went to see them today. The dentist thought it was just discolored, but when he looked more he decided it was a cavity! He luckily had time to just fix it right then. Reese was such a trooper!!! He did so great. He had to have a shot, and endure the drilling, etc... Of course Reese didn't say one word the whole time and Carsten cried as he thought he was going to get an x-ray or something--looked too medical for Carsten...

We went to the coast this last weekend with Jim's parents for dinner... It was just in time for the sunset... I had Reese's camera, so here are a few pictures.

Fun times at the coast...

This weekend my Aunt and Uncle came for a visit and so did my brother... It was Andrew's birthday, so we celebrated all weekend. On Saturday we took a quick trip to the coast and enjoyed the brisk, cold weather. We toured a lighthouse, took a quick walk on the beach, saw a whale, and ate clam chowder (all except for two people, no names). Fun stuff.

It was cold.

We toured a lighthouse and here we are looking down. The two boys couldn't go up because they weren't tall enough, so we took turns.

On another note, Carsten has another tooth on the bottom and another on its way. Toothy little guy. He is the cutest little smiler--always ready with a smile. He is now signing *please * regularly and he signs *more* when he wants to nurse. He has started to lead me to the chair, point to the chair, then signs for more. How can I resist?
Reese is growing, although not fast enough as Carsten beats up on him almost every day now. We've moved Reese into a big bed, a double, and moved the car bed out. Reese got to pick out sheets and a comforter... he chose Bob the Builder! Carsten's crib is now in Reese's room, but we have yet to move the little bugger out of our bed...
