Welcoming Summer!

Chase is in for a long summer! Many of you may have already learned of Chase's accident. He and Maia were playing in the backyard on their slide, Chase fell and came up with a mouth full of blood. Later that evening, his tooth fell out! We took him to the dentist to find out that there is no damage to any of his adult teeth (I hesitate to call them permanent teeth because in his case, you never know). It'll only be another 8 years or so with a toothless smile! It doesn't seem to bother him at all, though. He sticks straws, food and his tongue through the new hole.

Chase got his first summer hair cut last weekend. He did such a good job! He sat in the airplane and watched the girl cut his hair...then drenched the cape with slobber from the dum dum the girl gave him. I don't know what the girl thought would happen when you hand a 16 month old a sucker, but it was gross!The finished product...handsome little man! Random picture of Maia pushing her little brother around Zona Rosa after the hair cut.

Speaking of teeth, Maia had some work done this week...poor little thing! Here she is with her "elephant nose". She thought this was so funny! She did not think this was quite so funny...her lip was numb for hours afterwards. She's still a little swollen, but doing much better!

Getting ready to go on one of our daily walks.

Summer is finally here! The kids had fun in the sun with their friends Jack and Bella. Getting all 4 of them in a picture is always a challenge...Barney was a bonus! Drink break

Happy Mother's Day!

We went to the Kansas City Zoo for Mother's Day. Mom's got in free and got free ice cream! The weather turned out to be just perfect. The kiddos were so good, and had a lot of fun. Mom and the kids Maia and Jen watching the animal show

Chase pointed to every animal and called it "cat"

Peek-a-boo Sleepy little boy...he made it until 2:15 (pretty impressive)
