Katelyn has officially lost her first tooth! She was extremely excited to finally have that wiggly thing out of her mouth! I must admit, though, that her conversation with Daddy was my favorite...
Daddy: When I was a little kid I would put my tooth under my pillow and in the morning my tooth would be gone and a treat would be there! Do you want to put your tooth under your pillow?
Katelyn: No, I want to keep my tooth!
Daddy: But don't you want a surprise?
Katelyn: We have lots of treats around here.
Daddy: What if it's money?
Katelyn: I already have money.
Daddy: How about if you get to keep the tooth? It has been such a long time since I have put a tooth under my pillow. I would really like to see what your surprise is!
Katelyn: Daddy, how about if you put the tooth under your pillow.
So, this is what they did. Katelyn got the treat, though,...under Daddy's pillow!
Shoes...
I have had the toughest time finding sandals for Makenna this summer. I did not have any sandals from Katelyn due to the difference in seasons of births. I looked at many stores and could not find practical white sandals. They all had various other colors or were not suitable for a toddler learning to walk. I did find a pair at Savers, but later realized they were 3 wides and would not stay on her feet. The only thing we had were these little leather shoes that worked, but really made her feet stink...I guess they were not made for bare feet! Well, the point of this story is that a dear friend of mine just recently gave me a few bins of girl clothes that she did not need anymore. Low and behold, in one of the bins were a pair of white salt water sandals size 3! Salt water sandals are my favorite, but are hard to find! It was such a blessing!
Opportunities...
God is so faithful! It is my greatest desire to share Him with my children daily, as He asks of us in His Word.
"And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up..." Deuteronomy 6:6-7
I have been absolutely amazed at all the opportunities that He has given me to talk about Him with my children. I thank Him and praise Him for giving me these opportunities and helping me to be aware when those opportunities come knocking!
Praise the Lord!

Sharing God with our children is such a privelege! God has given to us such a great honor to help these little ones as they learn who their Father is and the gift given to us in Jesus Christ. I love the scripture you quoted. It is such a reminder of our highest calling as parents. Thanks for the encouraging words!
