first trip to the dentist

So, Jackson just turned two years old last month and it's now time for his first dentist appt. Off we went this morning to see how his pearly whites are doing....not good was the diagnosis.

His bottom two teeth both have cavities...already! I about cried when the dentist told me that. We brush every morning, every night and have since they first started coming in. He doesn't eat a load of sweets, so what's the deal.

The Dr. said it's just an sbsolute fluke. He said if kids don't take care of their teeth, then it's the top ones that get cavities first. Jackson's are in his bottom back teeth. Dr. seemed to believe that his little teeth never developed correctly and never got hard in the middle like they are supposed to. Thus, he has cavities in that space that's SUPPOSED to be hard, but is soft instead. ARGH!

So, August 23 is the date for two fillings. They said at this age it's a fight from beginning to end even with sedatives. I am so not looking forward to this. If they have to drill too much, he will have to have caps. Oh man, I sure hope not.

Here is a pic of his first dental appointment.

Hi Again!

So, the last time I blogged was back in January. SO MUCH has changed since then, so time to play catch up.

January--Richard got a new job and he's liking it well. I started working at home and going into the office now and then when I need to do something that can't be done at home.

February--Jackson broke his humerus bone and thought we would have to go to children's for rods/pins/surgery. Ended up just in a cast/sling for awhile and all is good now, but boy that was a trying time.

March-we move from Greenwood to Ozark because we sold our house
fast forward a few days....our house deal fell though but we moved anway. The gas bills were eating us up with the commutes.
My dad had a kidney biopsy stemming from his hospital stay last spring
Jackson got a big boy bed and he's doing well with it.
My best friend had a baby and found out it has heart problems (50% chance of surgery)


April-We take a much needed vacation

May--Jackson turns two on Mother's Day
We change realtors . I was SUPER busy with wildfires

June-our house STILL hasn't sold and we're praying very hard it sells soon. I know God has a plan, but I wish I was in on it, you know?

I miss my friends in Greenwood. Man, if you only knew. We haven't found a church home here yet and that's driving my crazy. That and NO ONE scrapbooks in this town! What's the matter with them? Don't they know how fun it is?
