Isaac's new smile!

Isaac has many extra teeth (like his mother had). His teeth are pretty crowded on top. He had an abscess above his top tooth (in the gum) which he never complained about! The orthodontist found it and said that that tooth would have to be removed. He instructed Isaac to wriggle it out, which was the plan. Well, time passed and the tooth was really loose but was being stubborn. I tried to pull on it. Bryan tried to pull on it ~ so we decided to better get the skill of a dentist. We made a trip into Ely for the big day.
Isaac is such a great patient. What a little trooper. It was no fun, but with a pretty good attitude he pulled through (and so did the tooth!) Haha

...... and he's sporting a new hair cut. He likes to style it occasionally.
Such a handsome little man!

Bryan is on the road to recovery. His surgery is scheduled for March 19th, in which he'll get the hardware removed from his ankle. That date is coming up fast!

Willow is here, there, everywhere! In my opinion, she's in one of the most challenging stages of child-rearing. There are days I want to pull my hair out and lock myself in a bathroom. But, it's also one of the most expressive, fun stages where she's like a parrot and repeating words and learning new things at warp speed. Ha!
.....and that joyful, playful laugh of hers that lights me up. Soooo cute!

Teething, it's the worst! For her and us!
lol

She's such a goofball.....

It's hard being 1!
Life is such a pain in the head sometimes.......

Thankfully bumps and bruises have been minimal the couple of weeks. She's a lot more sure-footed and her balance is great. She's even galloping now. Which means she likes to run from me, especially when I say, "Diaper change!" 

lol 

She'll be climbing up the ladder to the roof of the house in no time. 

After those stressful, busy days.... we sometimes get rewarded with a beautiful sunset. Isaac ran inside and told me to come look because the sky looked like a volcano :) 

and then the next morning, we do it all again........
