Reed Loses First Teeth

Reed got hit by a hard-sided plastic swing and got his front two teeth knocked out last weekend. He was stoic. Eben held him for two hours and managed the situation - even pulling out the second tooth that was totally wonky. Reed was a good sport about everything and was excited the Tooth Fairy paid him a visit. He plans to spend his money on a milkshake.

 The dentist took x-rays and reassured us that there was no damage to his permanent teeth. He'll just have this look for a much longer time than usual. Fortunately, it is so darn cute.

 Our final book club of the year was once again hosted in Natalie's beautiful garden. I am so lucky to share these deep and vulnerable conversations with these ladies and I look forward to each meet up eagerly. We are on hiatus until September.

 

Jaime and I hosted a retirement party for my mentor, Tammy Caldwell, and her husband, Dick. They are both activity coordinators in Marysville who are retiring to spend more time together and manage health concerns. I wish I would have taken a picture with them! But Reed's teeth got knocked out about 5 minutes before everyone came over for the party - so there was a lot going on. I did manage to get this photo of Jaime and I working the BBQ in the rain - gotta love Seattle.
