Funny you mention it, Sarah and Tony just got to visit them over the weekend and took them out to lunch! They will be getting the kids permanently in about three weeks! Instant family! It's hard to believe, I am so happy for them! Here's a pic.
They look great and so happy! I'm excited for them to start on this journey. It will have its ups and downs like every other family on the face of this planet, but I hope it's very rewarding for all of them.

I am happy today because I hadn't a hole in my tooth.
(and this is not a April Fool's joke)
The dentist looked at my tooth and couldn't find
a hole. What a relief. But he took x-rays to make sure so I did not have a problem with the bite. Funny I thought there was a hole in my
back tooth, but he convinced me that the tooth is OK. Then I started to feel embarrassed, why I went to the dentist anyway, yes the tooth hurt a little and
I could feel the hole with my tongue. But it must have be something else I felt.

Agincourt Concierge - congrats for Will!!

I'm happy because Addie insisted I remove her training wheels from her bike last night! She was able to ride her bike in 10-foot bursts before tipping over. I never realized how hard it would be to let go of that bike when she's driving it without training wheels! It's probably more scary for me than it is for her! But she's getting the hang of it and she can't wait to go out again.

Amazing how quickly kids catch on.

Glad for Addie. Kids learning very fast.

Last night Addie was able to ride the bike even further and didn't have any bad falls. Best of all, this time Mommy got to see her riding! Poor Jillian is upset because she is still too afraid to remove her training wheels and she's 2 years older than Addie. But I think Jillian will do better this year because her bike was a little too big last year, this year her legs are a lot longer.

I was in that position with my younger brother--he could ride without training wheels when he was five, while I was too scared until I was nine. He's two years younger than I am, so it was embarrassing. Please reassure your Jillian that everyone is different and good at differing things. If it's really important to her, she'll get it when she's ready :)
