Flat Tire

I got a flat tire on the way home today! Good bless the young man who stopped to help. Thanks so much.

There are a lot of good people in the world, despite what we may see on the news.

Checkered Ball

Heather and I are looking forward to attending the Checkered Ball. If you're not familair check it out. You may not have time to get in for this year but since it's an annual event there's always next year.

This will be our third year in attendence. It's always a fun time and we've picked up some great stuff at the silent auction which donates all proceedes go to National Brain Injury Research, Treatment & Training Foundation.

Hannah loses her first tooth!

The tooth fairy visited our humble estate for the first time last night, leaving Hannah a silver dollar. Well, maybe it's gold. I don't know what they call it now -- but it's the coin dollar. I figure we'll probably be seeing a lot of the tooth fairy in the months and years ahead.

Hannah 'discovered' here tooth was loose on the 28th (I think). It was pretty loose then so I don't know how she was able to keep it until yesterday. In fact her tooth apparently was loose even before that as she claims it had been hurting a little when see ate apples prior to the 28th.

Perhaps I'll be able to post a picture of her new smile in the next day or so.

Oh, and happy new year, everyone!
