So, the other day, I notice a gap in Kenzie's tooth. I figured that her tooth would be comming out soon. Fast forward to today. Kenzie and Maddie went outside and said good bye to Roger, Dianne, and Andrew (they were leaving for vacation to Georgia and Florida). When we came in Maddie said "apple" so I got her one. When Kenzie saw that, she wanted one too. Not thinking twice, I gave one to her. I went on to start a load of dishes in the dishwasher and I hear, "MOMMY, MY TOOTH IS GONE!" and she runs to Maddie's room to hide from me. When I got in there I put my hands behind my back and told her to open her mouth that I wouldn't touch it, but I wanted to see. So, she did and her tooth was gone! She came to the kitchen and pointed to the floor and said, "It's there" so, as we call Yaya, she found her tooth and put it in a baggie for the tooth fairy. We will put it under her pillow and see what the fairy can find for Kenzie's prize for her very first tooth! So, pictures are comming as soon as I charge the batteries for my camera! I am just so darn excited for Kenzie! She is such a cutie without her tooth! I can hear "ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH!" comming in a few months! LOL! Talk to you soon and will update you as I can.
Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be
