ollie the un-tooth fairy

Greta lost her first tooth on Monday morning.  She's wise to the whole tooth fairy business, but the idea of a small treasure left under her pillow while she sleeps is very agreeable to her.

  

I stayed up late without a thought in my head of what to give her.  I came up with a crocheted bag of irresistibles.

Some of Greta's favorite things; tiny dolls, chocolate money, lozenges, and a pretty button.  

Since it was Ollie that finally knocked that tooth out while they cuddled, I thought he should write the note.  Actually, he dictated and I wrote.

While Greta has been well for a few days, Henry and I had a relapse and are just getting over another wicked cold.  I have been checking in on everyones blogs and am sorry for my quietness in the comments department.  I'm still here, just gaining strength.  I appreciate every single kind comment and email that has comes my way.  I really do.  

Zach was here for a few days over the holiday week.  It was so great having him home and then so sad saying goodbye again for 3 more weeks.  Then my friends, we will be heading out of Los Angeles again.  I'l let our destination be a surprise.  I'll just say that we are all pretty happy about it.

For now, here are a few photos that might make you smile.
