More George News

So here's some other pictures from Florida, not too different than the previous ones you've already seen, but I love showing off George at the beach in January!



And now, George's debut of THE FIRST LOST TOOTH! This actually took place on February 10. He pulled it out himself and the tooth fairy came that night to leave him big bucks. The tooth fairy's name was Edward, and Edward's comment about the tooth was "small". (Grandma Muffin had given George a tooth fairy box for his nightstand a loooonnnggg time ago and it has a little pillow inside it to place the tooth, then a card for the fairy to sign, date, and comment.) I think we believe the tooth fairy is a male based on the Tim Allen Santa Clause movies that we love to watch.


Figured I ought to post these pictures before I take more of Estelle's big weekend. She's all set for school tomorrow with her giant chocolate chip cookie (soccer ball frosting) - for 32 people. I think she's mostly looking forward to no longer being the same age as George. Gotta go pack for Chicago!

Winter News

We had a great trip to Florida for George's 7th birthday. We rode in First Class on the way there (lucky us!) and he started calling the coach seats "second class". Swimming, beach, and chocolate cake were highlights. One cool day out of 4 so we went to Gumbo Limbo and looked at sea turtles and sharks instead of sitting by the pool. George and Uncle George showed off their abilities to touch their tongues to their noses and we had a good dinner with everyone at Bobby Rubinos.

Little Estelle stayed home ... but she's looking forward to her trip to Chicago next weekend!
