The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful

In response to those of you who have been asking for pics of our new life, here are a few that I managed to get. I'm still beating myself up over all the shots I've missed-the kids first day of school, G's birthday, D's new friends. Sometimes I'm too busy living life to bother capturing it, and others I'm too busy capturing it to live. Where is the balance I'm seeking?

So, here we go-
This is Sandy, our 11 year old Lab:
Chip and M hanging out at our pool. I love having a pool.

Sandy has been in the pool more than I have:

She gets tired easily:
Love the hair, G:

T finally learned to jump from the diving board:

We have ducks that come up to the edge of our property:
This is K, feeding the ducks. Her mom Gina is my best friend, and they came for a visit last week:





J and K:

It is so peacefull here. I don't think I ever want to leave.

Dinner time!




My kids are quite slow when it comes to losing teeth. G is in 2nd grade and has only lost two, until last night.
Here is G trying to pull out his own tooth, with no success:


Morgan thought she could do it:


She tried again, a bit harder:


"That tooth is weally stuck in there!"


T, looking cute. T always looks cute, but hates it if you say that:


Success! Now is that an adorable smile, or WHAT? And you should hear him talk. I keep asking him questions, just to listen to him mispronounce his TH's and S's. "Garrett, what day did we go to Walmart?" "I sink it was ssssaturday."


So the tooth fairy flew in last night, and in a surprising and bold move, left SIX dollars under his pillow (she was obligated to, considering that is the amount she left just last week when K lost her tooth while staying here). G, however, said he would rather have his tooth back, and so tonight we are hoping she'll swap back. I kinda think she will, considering the amount she paid for it. She is probably suffering from buyers remorse.

So there you have it, some images from our first few weeks of life in AZ. I'll get some of D soon, as soon as I see her for more than 5 minutes.
