Today we traveled to the East Side to visit @mayfielddentist. It was our middle kid’s first experience with the dentist. Our oldest had to go first in order to show her what to do. They were both rockstars and their teeth look great. So proud because both brush their own teeth.
.
.
Meanwhile.... mom and dad both got to have their teeth cleaned with the kids sitting on them. But that is ok. .
May both continue to love coming to the dentist.

Happy birthday to my individual baby girl!!! When asked how old she is... the answer changed throughout the day but she had a constant theme. She is Halloween, Purple, or Birthday. I love how her age (3 years) does not define her. May she always have that individual spirit.

My husband and I were having a discussion about how I consistently wear my socks half on. Reason is because my feet are too cold not to have socks on but too warm to have them all the way on.... hence half on for that happy medium. .
I argued that this is normal and he said it wasn’t. Who’s side are you on??

I’m impressed with the improvement of her camera skills and her photography vision. She is showcasing my post-work look really well. (Note: I’m a safety professional at a waste processing plant). .
