afton and the leprechaun trap she worked on with summer:

(it's for a school project. leprechauns DO NOT visit the wheelers.

they know better ;)

first top tooth

this past saturday (national tooth fairy day, incidentally), summer lost her first top and third overall tooth. and she has two more loose ones following soon! 

missing-teeth smiles are some of mama's favorite smiles: it's a good mix of sorta growing up and sorta being little.

ballerina dreams

i wore a tutu to church today, and here's what i learned:

1) how much fashion sense i have in common with seven and eight year old girls.

2) how tulle is very fragile and WILL rip or tear within the first forty-five minutes.

3) how impractical it makes crawling around on the floor after a thirteen month old baby.

4) how i should totally wear one every single day, forever and ever (fouetté jeté), amen.
