Herein I see both the advantage and the disadvantage of living in a small town: So many things that for me are a very short drive away -- e.g. Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, a major mall, a large park -- are mostly 40 minutes away for you. But when you do find something in down -- the library, church, karate -- your kids can walk there by themselves, at least the older ones.

It went well. She will go to the hospital for the extraction in a couple of weeks - she'll be going under gas. She is quite relieved at the idea of being asleep while it happens, so Jon and I thought that would be good. She has been so nervous going into her appointments, fearing being cut. The ER doc didn't even give her anything, not even that topical numbing gel, so she's a bit traumatized from the cutting and afraid of it happening again. So when she heard that she would fall asleep and then wake up to find her tooth out of her mouth, she's much happier about the whole thing.

They LOVE karate! Jonathan is very serious about it - the look on his face when he's concentrating on the moves - priceless! He's wanted to do this for a very long time, and he's jumping in wholeheartedly.

The boys are together in a beginner-level class, and Faith is in the "Tots" class. She had a lot of fun - they incorporate a lot of the moves into games for the little ones.

How did the appointment go with the oral surgeon? And how are the kids liking karate?

Maybe the tooth fairy can pay a bonus this time.

Pinworms, ugh. I remember going through that in our family growing up. Supposedly the culprit was someone's sandbox. Back then, you had to wash all the clothes and linens in hot water, and put what couldn't be washed in bags in the sun. Quite a pain.

Go, Jeremiah! He sure is in a hurry to be able to follow his brothers and siblings.

"There he was!" -- wonderful.
