First Trip to the Dentist

Samuel had his first visit to the dentist today. Since he has ten teeth now, we figured he better get use to going to see the dentist. We talked about it to him last night and this morning and he seemed fine going! He instantly loved the office since they had a big train table and a Lego table. He kept himself pretty occupied while I filled out paperwork. We then headed back to see the dentist.

When we got in the chair the hygienist asked if she could see his teeth. He immediately pointed to his teeth and gave her a big "ahhhhhh." It was great. The dentist came over to look and he was awesome. He leaned back on my chest and was motionless (this is amazing since we never see him still). He laid there and let them look and brush his teeth for over five minutes. I was stunned. She said they looked great and that he has about six in the process of coming in! GREAT! I guess we don't sleep for the next two weeks. They then gave him a plastic fish for being such a good boy and we headed out. I hope all our appointments always go that smoothly!

Weekend in Review

Finally, a little time to breath and blog. We had a pretty fast paced week last week, right through the weekend. Kate and Addison were here until Friday. It was so nice to have them in town. Addison and Samuel adore each other and had a ton of fun playing. I literally dropped them off at the airport on Friday and drove straight to pick up Mike and head out for the weekend.

This past weekend was the Mars Hill Graduate School community weekend. They do this each year as a marking of the new school year. It started Friday and ended Sunday night. Yes, we were tired. Friday we headed over to Bainbridge Island to the Island Lake Camp. I was in charge of the couples/families housing and some activities on Saturday, which left Mike in charge of Samuel a lot. While on the retreat we celebrated Brian's birthday. Trish, Paul, Sarah, Brian, Mike and I hung out and had yummy cake on Saturday night. It was a ton of fun and the kids slept the entire time! Sunday morning we headed back and showered to head out to convocation and the community picnic. It all went great and we had a ton of fun, but were plenty tired.

I will post pictures when I get them from friends...we forgot the camera!
