More Things I’m Enjoying . . .
1. Losing Teeth! Claire has lost another one since this picture, and I’ve been reminded how exciting it is to change and grow-up. Claire cannot walk into a room without flashing this somewhat painful looking smile just to see if anyone will notice. Don’t we all feel that way sometimes! If only we noticed each other more.
2. Hungry Girl daily tips and products! I’ve recently discovered this little gem of recipes and good-for-you ideas. I’m convicted more than ever that I need to get a little more serious about this healthy living idea and this is one place to start. Plus, she’s funny and somehow related to Spencer from iCarly. (Follow her on Twitter, too!)
3. Looking forward to road trips! In October I’m headed to Chicago for the Story Conference. Check out StoryChicago.com. I’m so excited about this conference. Then, in November, my little niece Nola is having a 1st birthday party complete with tutus and top hats. Oh, yes, we WILL DANCE!
4. And still Diet Coke Lime.
5. Biggest Loser. People, last night two guys on this show gave up their spots for someone they thought needed it more. This is reality TV worth watching. Not that every season of Biggest Loser has been so honorable, but the characters this time have a genuine sense of kindness and compassion toward one another.
Love that smile – I remember that losing teeth was such a big deal. So exciting!
I LOVE that smile and how thrilled she is to have accomplished the loss of her teeth. I have a picture of Jesse doing the exact same thing when he lost his bottom teeth! Also, I want lots of details when you return from the Story Conference, and lots of pictures from the Nola’s Tutu Birthday Party!!
Note to Cheri: pictures of this grandmother in her red tutu may possibly be confiscated and confined to a deep, underground vault only to be ressurrected when Nola is a grandmother and wants to tell her grandkids about the antics of long-passed generations.
Maybe.
She is adorable! And it really takes me back to how proud I was when I lost a tooth. How funny to think about now.
Also, I love Diet Coke with lime. Preach it, sister!
