The loggers came and worked on removing the fallen trees from the land at our cabin.

First Visit From the Tooth Fairy

D only had 1 1/2 days of school last week, so we made fall themed cut-out sugar cookies Thursday morning. Yum!

Friday morning, her front tooth had gotten significantly looser.  I could tell it was going to come out today so we took some last pictures of her with her full set of baby teeth. At one point, she had to hold the tooth up and in her mouth with her finger, otherwise it would just hang out of her mouth.  It was hanging by a thread, but she didn't want to pull it out.

It did come out soon enough Friday morning, and she was so excited to put it in her tooth fairy pillow. Love the new smile!

On Saturday, we planted grass seed on our front lawn and covered it with straw. We used an extra bale of straw to sit on a take a couple of pictures.
