Broken Smile

I'm so upset.

Last night Will and I were sitting in the backyard watching Sophia play in the sprinklers. She started spinning in circles under the water, and lost her balance. She fell head first into the side of the metal fire pit, and we both new instantly it was a bad fall. I scooped her up and noticed right away that her 2 front teeth were chipped. There was no blood and she calmed down quickly after some Tylenol and snuggles, but I'm not handling it quite as well.

These are the teeth she's going to have for the next several years, and I'm devastated that her beautiful perfect smile has been damaged. I'm going to make her a dentist appt on Monday and see if there is anything that should or can be done.

Here are some pics of her broken smile....

Girls Only! part 2

Since we were going to be without Daddy a little longer than usual, I decided to buy some fun water toys to keep Sophia entertained. I bought her a water table complete with toy boats and a water wheel. She had fun splashing, and Trent had fun trying to bite the splashes.
She also thought it was fun dunking her head in the water.
I also bought her a neat toy that attaches to the garden hose and makes a great sprinkler to play in. She nearly hyperventilates when she stands in the water, but this is by far her favorite summertime activity. Every time we go outside she points at it and tries to turn on the water herself.

My favorite part is bundling her up in a towel afterward and cuddling until she's ready to get wet again, which is usually about 30 seconds later!

Scottsdale business trip

This is Will's first post, we'll see if I get it to work...

At the end of May, Sophia and I had a great trip together - we went to Phoenix to attend a convention sponsored by my Broker/Dealer. Mommy had to stay home to work, so I flew down there alone with Sophia. The flights went well - she's just so good on airplanes - she made friends with everyone around us! The good news is: Nana and Pops were down there to meet us in Scottsdale for the convention!

They had such a great time being together. One of the highlights was playing in the "sprayground". Sophia would stand right over the water sprayers and let them shoot her right in the face. She loved it! She's such a nut around water!

We also went to my friend Matt and Monica Linnell's house in Mesa and got to visit them and their two children. What friends!

Of course, there was lots of daddy time too!

Sophia loves her Nana and Pops and can't wait to see them again!!
