I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Ash...

Tonight Ashlynn gathered enough couage to let me try pulling her 2nd tooth.

On the second try,
which she was reluctant to let me do,
it popped right out!


She is so proud.
(and very excited for the tooth fairy)

I love you Ashlynn. You're such a big girl.

it's funny how you start to loose a lot of teeth after the first one is gone.

she's very cute toothless.

i seriously can't believe she's losing teeth already. Tanner just lost his second tooth around Halloween and he's almost 7. She does look pretty cute without her two teeth though. :) Did the toothfairy remember to come?? At our house she sometimes forgets until in the morning. She must be really busy or maybe she's just a little absent minded.
