Gretje wows the dentist

Gretje asked a zillion questions at the dentist today and wanted to know how everything worked. We're so proud that emphasizing science and ALWAYS answering her questions about how the world works have helped her to be the super smart girl she is! She also drew a Magnadoodle portrait of her dental hygienist, and later offered this winning exchange:

Dentist: Have you been brushing your teeth twice a day, in the morning and at night?
Gretje: Yes. At my daddy's. (big smile)
Dentist: Have you been flossing?
Gretje: Yes, at my daddy's. (bigger smile)

Family Instagram Update

With MUCH help from Aunt Allie (who basically assembled the entire basis of the structure for us), we started construction on Gretje's birthday present: a dollhouse for her Blythe dolls!

Voila! Complete with a little Dalahast name sign, just like ours. :)

She came here to rock.

Starting on the family wall.




Chi silliness.

Applying the Firebird decal to my Civic.


Bedtime craziness.

Pretty little living room moment noticed by daddy.
The folks at this house are way too serious.

I unsurprisingly dominate this crazy family portrait with my large, ridiculous face.

Please meet my photography assistant, Chi. He doesn't have thumbs, so he doesn't help much.
Frosting beater antenna.

Morning magazine reading.


It can be pretty tiring playing these three hour gigs at Mash. My heels inevitably come off by the third set, but the rowdy crowd is too busy dancing by then to care.

Oh, the ecstatic movements of a child hearing 'Try a Little Tenderness' for the first time. :)

Purple carrots?

 
These purple carrots that Daddy picked up at the co-op were a big hit with Gbear and Maddie.
