1st Loose Tooth


My last full day with Sheryl and Joshua was spent primarily at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Joshua went to school, I volunteered in his classroom, and then we pulled him after first period. We had a total blast, saw a HUGE variety of animals, had dinner at the Claim Jumper, and finished up with "The Apple Dumpling Gang." This morning, Joshua showed me a loose tooth (left of center on the bottom), and following dinner tonight--out it came. His first baby tooth, now an item for the tooth fairy to consider. I'm so glad I got to be a part of it. Joshua thinks it is simply "too gross," the bloody tooth, the unfamiliar gap, etc., but there you have it--what seems a milestone to one person may not seem a milestone to another.

It's hard to believe the time has finally come for you to leave. Don't forget you have a household of 9 praying for you here, in addition to our whole church. Thank goodness we have this quick and easy way to stay in touch!

With love,
Walter, Linda, Lina, Flynn, Mary, Mercy, Spencer, Lucy, and Jasper.
