Ty's LOST Lost Tooth

Wouldn't you know that after all those weeks of waiting for that first tooth to fall out, we lost it! I mean it literally disappeared! It happened on Daddy's watch while in the Hamptons with Becky and her family. After many devastated tears, Daddy made a nice recovery by placing a note to the Tooth Fairy ("The Rock" as he's known in our house) under Ty's pillow that night explaining the situation. The Rock couldn't have been more understanding. He left five bucks and Ty was thrilled! You'd think that with such a terrific payout, he'd be willing to relinquish the 3 other teeth that are currently holding on by a thread, but no such luck. In fact, I think he's fully committed to eating out of the side of his mouth for the rest of the year.

How was your summer?

If Ty and Wil are asked what they did this summer upon returning to school, the teachers better have time to spare! It was by far our most active, fun summer to date with 3 vacations (Outer Banks, Hamptons and Point Pleasant), 6 weeks of camp, 2 amusement parks and several visits to the zoo, aqaurium and big city. Between Daddy's flexible schedule and mommy being unemployed at the moment, the boys enjoyed many afternoons by the pool, weekends at the lake, movie nights and countless cookouts. We are thankful that everyone remained healthy and safe during the hot, busy days of summer and have already begun to plan how we will top it next summer!
