There’s a small addition underway at the school, and Owen’s ready to offer whatever supervision is necessary.

When you dream
While the Tooth Fairy didn’t show herself last night, she did leave behind a fair amount of fairy dust for sweet Olivia.

It’s not a competition (per Mom)
The lost-tooth race here has been tied for quite some time. Despite nearly a three-year age difference between sisters, Olivia started to lose teeth in preschool, forever narrowing the gap between her and Ava.
Tonight Livie took the lead, losing an inscisor a bit early. She was mostly gracious, and left a note for the Tooth Fairy asking her to FINALLY show herself.
No word from Camp Eldest, but I’m sure it will all shake out just fine.

Owen recognized a book from his own shelf at the book fair last week, and I cannot stop looking at this photo. Join me, will you?

Overheard: Negotiation
Rebecca: “Time for bed!”
Owen: “No! I don’t want to go to bed. I go downstairs.”
Rebecca: “Nope!”
Owen: “I go downstairs and sit on the couch. I watch tee-bee.”
Rebecca: “Sorry, babe.”
Owen: “I go downstairs and sit on the couch and snuggle you, mama…”

Four generations on Little Birch
It’s Throwback Thursday, and while this isn’t throwin’ it back very far, let me share one of the highlights of our trip to Minnesota last summer: the annual Ward Springs Fourth of July Parade. This year, for the first time, we were IN the parade, instead of on the sidelines.
The people and places in these photos are among my very favorite, and they make my heart swell. Thanks, Mom and Gramma and Grampa Great, for another trip I’ll never forget. I love you!
