more milestones

This week we celebrated Heidi's 4th birthday. But I think what I felt most like celebrating at her birthday pug party on Saturday, were those big beautiful eyes of hers. Dear little Heidi, we are SO happy to see that you have been restored to health and happiness!!!


Calvin and Sharon, I hope you don't mind my plundering these pictures of Heidi and Beatrice, but they are just so special. I love how this photo captures Michaela's love for animals. She is fascinated by, and loves, every moving thing, from the lowliest fruit flies in our compost pile, to the great whales and wildcats in our nature videos.


Another major event this past week was the Women's Art Festival, where Cara and Meghan spent the day together selling the gorgeous jewelry they have been busy creating over the past few months.


We also took a trip out to Bath to see Mom and Dan (Nanie and Pop), and to go out for lovely dinner together.


And finally, another major milestone! Micah's tooth had been loose for quite a long time, and when he arrived at Nathanael's nameday party, he surprised us with THIS! Our first grandchild lost his very first tooth!!! And this happened the very same week that our youngest grandchild got his very first tooth - congratulations, little Justin!!! And also the same week that Michaela got her very first loose tooth. What a coincidence!
