PandaGirl lost TWO more teeth making a total of FIVE since last November. Poor girl can hardly eat! Maybe I should pull MY teeth and lose weight....nah...I'd just drink chocolate malts. Hmph.
Went to Red Lobster for my b-day like I've done every year since I was a little girl. The food isn't so fabulous, but the nostalgia of always going---keeps me going.
For my birthday my Wild & Precious dear friend made me this domino pendant. It has to be one of the BEST handmade gifts I have ever gotten. She put a map of Haiti behind the Chinese characters for "Life" which is what PandaGirl's real name means. Zoe is Life in Greek. THEN----to make it even more perfect and personal the number of the domino is 12 and my sweet friend had no idea that 12 has been my favorite number since I was a child and that it "follows" me everywhere in many different situations. I am in no way a freak about superstitous numbers, but it is amazing HOW MANY times that number has been a part of my life. Anyway, this is such a great and personal gift!

PG had a friend come over after church last week. These two LOVE each other soooo much! They even look like twins from the back with their hair the same length. Sweet friends with a bond like few others. Mmm.
My Guatemala Mission Trip girls took me out for my birthday. We are great friends and love talking about our bond of the mission trip back in February.
Welcome to our humble new-to-us abode. I love it! Little things about it just keeping growing on me moment by moment. PandaGirl is so excited because "all her life" she has wanted a house with stairs! LOL!
My eyes have seen this scene waaaaaaay too many times. The fun part, though is that with each move I have gotten to set up house which I love. THIS house is my favorite in which we have ever lived. We hope to be here for quite some time.
Clifford the Big Red Dog on his 500lb way to the garage with muddy feet...not good for the brand new carpet...during the rain until PP can build him adequate shelter. NOTE: The other part of The Fur went to a new home with marathon runners and gets to be an inside doggy now. Good life.
Miao finding security anywhere he can in his new home. Actually, he is adjusting quite well.
The cutest Kindergartener I've ever seen! ; )
Well, tomorrow I'm off to the land of the working---just 8 1/2 more months to go! Yippee! ; )

A lot goings on! Glad you found a house, you are settling in, happy belated birthday and I hope Panda girl has a break from the tooth fairy visits for a bit so she can eat;)
A Belated Happy B-day! It sounds like a truly blessed time!
So... how is the speechie job going?
Are you adjusting well back into the swing of things?
Just wondering?
Have a blessed one Precious PandaMom!

Great to hear you are settled! Matthew thinks it's the biggest rip off of his life that he has to live in a one story house! Poor kid! My knees crackle too much to have a two story house!
Thanks for inspiring me!!! Check out my blog to see how!
