Two Down, Eighteen to Go!

Just after the extraction...

Savannah lost her second baby tooth last night. After I promised her Dairy Queen if she let us pull her tooth, she was more willing to co-operate. The toothfairy brought her another "golden dollar" and a quarter to go along with it. When asked how much the toothfairy left her, she replied 125 cents!

Cash for Clunkers

When Cash For Clunkers was announced this summer, we started thinking about getting a new car for me. We still had the 1994 Ford Explorer that I bought after graduation from college. It went from being the "good car" that we used for trips to the spare car that we used in a pinch.

Savannah was very upset that we were considering selling "toot toot chugga chugga" (from a Wiggles tune), but really lost it when we told her that we were selling the red car AND my silver mini-van. She wanted me to keep the silver Dodge Grand Caravan until she got married and moved out! We had 89,000 miles on the minivan and 170,000 miles on the Explorer, so we figured that we would go on and sell them both. We chose the 2010 Honda Odyssey EX-L and we love it so far!

Sibling Love

He was sound asleep, but she was playing possum in this picture.

She did try to go to sleep though!

Savannah loves playing with Vince. Vince adores Savannah and wants to do everything that she does! He often times comes through the house wearing her beads around his neck, but so far we have dodged the bullet of her dressing him up in her princess outfits. They enjoy hanging out and watching tv in the mornings and playing in the shower.

Vince has his 18 month checkup in the morning and will get a several shots. Savannah continues to enjoy school and likes wearing a school uniform each day. It sure does make it easy to get her dressed in the mornings!

Savannah's First Day of Kindergarten!

While this would usually be a pretty big deal, it wasn't for Savannah since she was enrolled at Sonny Carter last year for Pre-K. She does have to wear a uniform this year.she has a shorter "rest" time during the day, and she will eat breakfast in the cafeteria with the other students, not her entire class after the school day starts. Savannah went to Open House on Wednesday night and saw some of her pre-k friends and gave Miss Elton a HUGE hug (her pre-k teacher) and she met her new teacher and a few of her classmates. Jeff took her to school this morning and she went through the carpool line, just like she did last year! It's hard to believe that the summer is already over, we had such a wonderful time!
