I forgot to take a picture, but E finally pulled out her second lower tooth....on the bus! She thought she lost it on there and the bus driver was going to look for it later. When we got home I unfolded all the blood spotted tissues and there was her tiny tooth in the very last one! I called transportation to make sure a message was sent to her driver so he wouldn't have to get on his hands and knees and look for that itty bitty white thing. Whew! I was gonna be kinda sad if she really had lost it. It is part of her, ya know. So we put it in the special box where we will keep all of her teeth, helping out Miss Tooth Fairy. E hasn't written another letter yet, but she probably should if she wants more money. By the way, this is a picture of the girls on the night of Pascha. You can tell that C looks tired. Oh, and E was in a Vocabulary Bee last week. She had to study and know the definition of 100 words and use them correctly in a sentence. She got 'out' on her second word. I could tell she was a bit disappointed, but it was a good experience. Growing up is hard work....losing teeth and all.

Happy Easter with the Aunts and Uncles and Odos. The kids had a nice time on our Palm Sunday visiting and getting early Easter baskets with our family. C and Odo are so lovely together that I just had to post this picture. I am so thankful for our loving family.

S is walking!!!! He decided that in honor of Christ's resurrection he would rise up as well and take to walking around. We had a wonderful Pascha service and a great feast at 3 am Sunday! The kids did really well and we got to stay at a friend's home after the feast so that we didn't have to drive home after being up all night. What a blessing! We are so thankful for our church family.
S's godmama had her baby girl on Saturday and so he has a new, healthy godsister! God has given us blessing after blessing! We hope to have a joyous Bright week while we feast and rejoice in the Resurrection all week long!
