Okay, maybe just one of us is having that issue.  Emma has started to lose her teeth.  So far she has lost two on the bottom.  Each of them have been getting loose over the last couple months.  Emma finally decided she wanted each one out (separated by about a month) so she just started pushing each forwards and backwards until they got loose and then yanked each out.  She found it humorous when each were bleeding a bit afterward.  I continue to be amazed at how tough she is.  We’ve been working with her to make sure she knows it’s okay to cry when something hurts.  At this point, she takes great pride in being “tough”.

Emma is doing well in school.  She has been reading a lot!  The school decided to assess her reading skills and, when it was all said and done, it turns out she is reading at the 4th grade level and she’s only in kindergarten!  Her word recognition and comprehension are very good.  Needless to say we are very proud of her.

Work is going well for both of us.  Of course it’s getting busier and busier with the layoffs going on around us but both of us should be pretty safe from an employment standpoint.

We’re very anxious for summer to get here.  Each day that the sun comes out and the temperature gets above 65 we can just feel the excitement.  We are looking forward to memorial day when we’ll kick off the summer season out at the lake.  We have lots of fun activities planned out there for the summer.  It sure would be nice if we could spend the entire summer out there but unfortunately there’s the whole pesky work thing keeping us in town.
