Ahhh... Spring Break...

Though I can't say it's been exactly restful! Both the kids and I are off from classes this week, but I have spent some of that time catching up on homework. The kids are enjoying the free time! They spend a lot of it outside, enjoying spring. We keep getting forecasts for rain, but still dry thus far.

Yesterday, however, was quite a day. Elf had been scheduled to have anethesia and major dental work in May, but thanks to a cancellation, we were able to go in yesterday to have it all done. I think I was more scared of the whole process than he was! Anyhow, he was sedated (completely asleep), had 2 teeth removed, and 2 stainless steel crowns with attached spacers put in. They fixed all his original fillings also, and another loose tooth in front popped out while they were cleaning him up. Poor kid is still having trouble eating anything more solid than jello. Thankfully, this means everything in his mouth is fixed (for the moment). Hopefully the xylitol rinse and fluoride gel will help prevent future issues ( and no, Jenny, I did not take him out for a milkshake afterwards!).

Easter was good here. We had it a day early thanks to my work schedule. Several family members came over, we ate a great dinner, had an egg hunt for the kids... it was pretty relaxed.

And that's about it here!
