Royce Loses Her Front Tooth

Royce finally lost one of her front teeth.  She had been working on this thing for well over a week.  For Carrie and I it was a real struggle to watch it dangle without reaching in her mouth to pull it ourselves.

Unfortunately, the tooth fairy was not able to make the initial stop at our house the first evening.  Luckily Royce wrote a second note for her and the fairy was able to collect the tooth and leave something special for her in return.

Will as a Towson Tiger

Will got this t-shirt for his birthday.  He could not be more excited to finally become a Towson Tiger.

Will's 4th Birthday

There is still one day to go and yet Will has had quite an exciting few days leading up to his 4th birthday.  Friday and Saturday was the sleepover with his friends Adam, Tyler, and Lexi.  Sunday all the kids went to Thomas' birthday party at My Gym in the morning and then celebrated Will's big day at our house with many of our relatives.  Wonder what he'll do on his actual birthday? 

(On a side note, Grandpa and Papa were fully immersed in the Orange theme of this year's party).

This is how you get a child to keep his pajamas on overnight.  And do a little 90's hip hop.

"Uncle Matt's" Shoes

Today we had to regrettably replace Will's first pair of "Uncle Matt" shoes.  This is the first time Will ever gave a name to his shoes.  Now every pair he wears, has a title (i.e. soccer shoes, football shoes, church shoes, running shoes).

A great debt of gratitude goes to Uncle Matt for providing Will with such an iconic pair of shoes.

Tea Party

Waited for about 10 minutes before I went looking for Preston to see where he was in the house.  Found him upstairs in Royce's room participating in a tea party for one.  He was really enjoying himself.

On a side note, Preston would also like to thank Grandma B for providing Royce with such a cool gift.

New Year's Day

We spent a nice couple of days in Lancaster with a number of our relatives.  It was alot of fun to see everyone.  We especially enjoyed the opportunity to spend some quality time with Uncle Matt and Aunt Noel and really had fun completing our 1000 piece all day puzzle (finished at some point around 2AM).
