LOST TOOTH!

justin lost his first tooth this weekend. what excitement! he has a few slightly loose ones, and as he tried to tear open a plastic bag with his teeth this one fell out. after the initial shock wore off, he thought he was pretty cool. the tooth fairy came and brought $3. granted, she only pays big for the first tooth, the rest are only worth $1 a piece.

MY NEW CANVAS'S

ohhh, i am so excited, i got my new canvas prints of the boys today! these are 16x24 and up in my dining area. it's hard to tell from the picture, but they are awesome! the previous pic is what i had up before, but these were over 1 year old, so it was time to update. opening the box, i was like a kid on christmas morning.

MISC PICS
