Whenever I have found myself stuck… {WW#7}

It is my principal teacher,

and I try to open my whole being

to what it has to say.

Over the next few days she was sick on and off. Wednesday she was completely fine. Then got sick in the middle of the night. Thankfully she seems all better now. Hopefully that is the last of it.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

We live off the road so we never saw a need to put We live off the road so we never saw a need to put up lights, but Annie asked so I put some up on our wheelchair ramp and porch railings. Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
