We had a very successful visit to the most kid-friendly dentist ever (Kari's recommendation). Here's Frida with her line-up of prizes, which she earned by bravely climbing up in that chair and doing all the cleaning/flouride/dentist things! And below, the boys trying out their parachuting guys.
Animal weddings happen on occasion in our home. We wear matching nice clothes (try to ignore those soccer socks) and get wedding dancers and have tea. Snowy (the husky puppy) and Goldy (the Canadian pilot dog) were married this August.

monarchs are missing this summer. We're so sad! But Isaiah, Elias and Micah have a very happy, bustling butterfly garden just down the road from them! These photos of course don't capture it.
