Happy Blessing Day Landon.  We love you!

We had a lot of great support from family and friends.  Here are some of the pictures from the day.

Mommy sure loves this little guy.  She even gave him his first haircut in preparation for the big day!

This girl has lost her first tooth!  She’s been wiggling it for a week or more now.  Several people have offered to pull it out for her, but she insisted that I (dad) was the only one allowed to pull it out.  We tried with a tissue and with floss, but there was nothing to grab onto.   We decided that it was time to get serious, so I got a pair of needle nose pliers, leaned the tooth forward, and gripped onto it from the sides.  Then she assured me she was ready and I gave it a gentle tug and it popped right out.  She was so excited she didn’t even care about the pain if there even was any.  Eliza was pretty concerned but was relieved when she asked Ashley if it hurt and she replied that it didn’t.  Just look how proud she is in these pictures!  Can’t believe she’s growing up so fast and has already lost her first tooth!

Ashley has ditched the training wheels.  Here is a little video montage of the day it happened.

Here are some fun memories in the form of videos.   This first one was one of those auto generated videos from my phone that I liked.

This video is in memory of our good friend Sam the dog.
