Flora wants to announce that she has lost her first tooth, an event she has been eagerly awaiting ever since Austen lost his first tooth… more than three years ago. The tooth of course will be packaged for display in Flora’s Museum of Natural Mystery.

I would like to announce that Ender has officially transformed from a lump into a very competent crawler, climber and explorer. This means, among other things, that today,  $5 worth of organic raspberries mushed into the floor, blue marker happy faces on fridge (please god, don’t let it be Sharpies) = price of getting anything done in the kitchen with him under foot.
