Prayers needed
for our sweet friends, the R family. They had to leave baby William at the hospital today with jaundice. Mary has to stay in a hotel nearby and go nurse him every few hours, while Rich goes home to be with the other boys. We almost had to leave Gloria at the hospital when they discovered her low heart rate, and I remember how heart-wrenching the idea was to me! Pray for their strength, peace, and for things to improve soon!

Problem solving
(as we prepare for Daddy to leave this morning after him working late last night)
Allia: Daddy, I wish that God would just give us some money so that you can stay home and not have to go to work.
(playing Horsey with Pawpaw...where he is the horse)
Allia: Do it again
Pawpaw: I can't be a horse anymore...it is too hard on my knees.
Allia: Well, can you be a cow instead?

Tooth update
Well, Mariana fared well at the dentist. I think she liked all the attention! And she picked Mommy to go with her, scoring some one-on-one time with me!
As for the tooth, it looks OK for now. Xrays showed it is not broken. However it is recessed and will probably stay that way, especially with the thumbsucking! It is also grayish colored and could even become darker. We will go back in 3 months (if not sooner due to any problems arising from it) for another checkup. Poor girl!
Here is her 2 year photo before all of her mouth-busting falls started.
When she gets up from nap I will take an "after" photo and update the post with that.
*Updated
It actually doesn't look so bad in the photos...probably the poor lighting!

Busted!
times two:
First, I "caught" Allia reading on her own! I sent the girls to separate rooms to play after growing weary of the screaming and fighting this morning (?!). When they were released, I found out Allia had been reading her Curious George book...for real (she has had most of them memorized for some time). She was pretty far into the first story. How exciting!
Second, Mariana busted her lip again...for about the 6th time this year! Except this time, she hit her teeth too. It moved one of her top front teeth backwards, so we will be visiting the pediatric dentist tomorrow morning! Poor girl! I will spare a photo of that, instead here is one of her pretty hairdo for Memorial Day. We took the holiday to spend special individual time with the girls (so I did hair and nails with each of them while Austin took the other on a bike ride, and I went to the pool with Allia during the other girls' naps). We also spent some nice time with Tia Becky and some sweet friends, the K family.

Zipping along
Leave it to Austin to use his graduation money to buy a zip cord! What a fun daddy! It went through several adjustments to find just the right height and location...
