Anderson goes to the dentist

Anderson had his first dentist appointment today and I'm pleased to say it was a resounding success! He loved it. The dentist was Bri's pediatric dentist, who also coached soccer with his dad. Needless to say there was a bunch of reminiscing going on.

All that aside, this man is a genius. I wish my dentist growing up was half as nice and funny. A listened to him and his assistant, opened wide and didn't get scared. We were really thrilled.

As a reward A got to pick two prizes (a snake and glasses disguise thing) a sticker and a tattoo. It's the little things that make it great.

Big guy!

Prizes are cool!

Remodel has begun

Well, it has started. We are complete with demo and a the proud owners of pretty much a house with a hole in it. I'm excited to see it begin and imagine the finished product.

On a lighter note, I realized a bonus of having a girl - adorable designer clothes. DVF launched a small partnership with GapKids and baby girl Birkett is the proud owner of her first DVF wrap dress, along with another equally cute sundress. I bought older sizes so she will be out of spit-up, blow out stages and walking around. I figured they would look much cuter on her then. Bri tolerated my splurge fairly well.

First day of demo

Babies 1st DVF :-)

A perfect Friday

Work has been challenging lately - that's an understatement.  So it was with great pleasure today that I worked with our LOA resource and calculated my maternity leave and sent a formal notice to my boss (just 10 days into her tenure). Return date - Jan 2, 2013 with leave potentially starting as early as June 15. Yes, I am very aware this will be no vacation, but I'll definitely be looking to travel during that time with the bambino once we're all good to go.
