Baby teeth

Today we celebrated a couple "first" moments

First day at a playground since the winter weather started...at least 6 months ago!

First time I have seen a robin this Spring! Woot Woot!!

And Caleb's First Baby teeth will be put under his pillow tonight!!!

Caleb will be 5 1/2 in seven days, so it was about time anyway for him to possibly loose a baby tooth; however, we weren't too excited his first baby teeth would have to be removed for him. About two years ago, Caleb took a mouth dive into a wooden toy barn that we have. We thought he might loose his tooth, but luckily he was able to keep it and just had a little grey tooth. A week ago though, Jon and I both noticed that the tooth had suddenly changed color - not good. Tuesday we went in and were told what we had predicted would happen: the tooth needed to be removed, as there was an infection in the root. What we didn't know is that the tooth next to it also needed to be removed to minimize risk of the infection spreading, AND the x-ray he had shows some HUGE teeth are about to come in (sounds like he will have his Dad's looks and his Mama's teeth!!!), so it was best if both front teeth were removed. This Mama, was sad. Caleb's first baby teeth wouldn't be wiggled out, it seems like it is a loss of childhood or something! But I don't think he is any less for wear, that is, as long as the tooth fairy still comes tonight!

Caleb's new toothless grin.

Oh goodness! He is Stoked about this tooth fairy thing! He was collecting sticks and rocks at the park so tha he can supposedly turn them into a "trap" for the tooth fairy tonight! lol! Tonight will also be his first time using the monster tooth pillow I made him. The pillow will hold his teeth so that they don't accidentally get lost under his big pillow. I had seen this monster pillow years ago and have been waiting to make it. Hard to believe the time was finally here to get it done!... but of course that meant I left it until the absolute last minute... I just may have stayed up until almost midnight last night in order to get it done.  ;)
And now to leave you with this picture! This is Caleb's "Mom, are you done yet so I can eat my ice cream?? Dr. Delf told me I was supposed to eat ice cream!"  

Happy Friday everyone!
In Christ,
Mara

    It’s great to know that his tooth finally came out, otherwise it could have spread to the other teeth as well. Anyway, it seems like Caleb was very interested in catching the tooth fairy that he even went outside to gather some supplies for his trap. Haha! Thanks for sharing this us, Mara. All the best!

Four years.

Four years. Four years ago today, our second blessing jumped into our arms for the first time. Four years ago today, these two became brothers and best friends. Four years ago today, all our worlds changed. And yet, how can it have only been four years? Feels like he has been our son from day one. The Lord blessed us ten-fold the day we met you, my son, our Tope. My world is better with you in it.

Philippines Travel - Random Tips

When I say random tips, I truly mean random tips! I kept a list of random things we learned while traveling in the Philippines. If you are planning on traveling there at any time, some of these could be very useful, some will just be some fun knowledge to have. Many of these tips you will not learn from your adoption agency or travel agency! Here it goes! BEFORE YOU GO: Pictures of documents:  If you are taking your smart phone or a tablet with you, then take pictures of emails, addresses, and phone numbers you may need. More than once I didn't have that one piece of paper  that I needed with that random phone number, BUT I had taken photos of many of my emails with people's names and numbers and hotel addresses which saved us many headaches! If you have a smart phone, hold down the power key and the toggle key at the same time, and voila!, you take a picture of the screen you are looking at. Gifts : Many people bring gifts for their hosts/drivers, orphanages caretaker

A feminine touch

How often do you think God looks down upon us and laughs at the things we think and say? I have to think, if I were God, I would be having a good chuckle at least every other hour just listening to my thoughts alone! Here was His chuckle... Mara: "I think we are destined for all boys in this house. The craziness of these boys! oy! This is my life." God: "Lol! Haven't you heard that Everyone agrees that girls are much harder than boys!?!" Mara: "For certain the only "cute" clothes I will buy will include a collar and buttons." God: "Hehehe! You do realize that girls don't just need a pair of tennis shoes for the winter and sandals for the summer, right!? They need dress shoes, sandals, tennis shoes, cute boots, real boots, shiny shoes, easter shoes, christmas shoes...." Mara: "It would be fun to have another female in this house. These boys could use more feminine presence. They are much less crazy. " God:
