First Tooth!

Just 9 days shy of her first birthday, and Kirsten’s first tooth is finally showing through her gum!! I’ve been checking her mouth a lot lately because she’s been drooling constantly and yesterday I felt the first one.......it's one of her bottom ones. She doesn't seem to care, though. She's still as happy as she always is!!

Sad News Today.....

One of Jeff and I's good friends from Green Bay, Dave Mullen, passed away today. Jeff and Dave worked together at Schneider, Dave’s wife, Ann, is also our realtor in Green Bay, and lately, Dave has been helping us out with his handyman services at the duplex we own in Green Bay. He's also helped us out a lot with showing the property and all sorts of miscellaneous other stuff, too. He is an amazing person and friend. We saw Ann & Dave in August when we were in Green Bay for a visit and had lunch with them. While we were there, Dave also went to our duplex with me to check on both of the units to see what kind of shape they were in, and to meet some of our new tenants in person because I didn’t want to go by myself (and we didn’t want to take the kids with us, either). So, the viewing and funeral are both on Wed, Oct 28 in Green Bay, and Jeff is going to go. To make it even more bittersweet, today was Ann & Dave's 30th Wedding Anniversary. So sad for Ann and her family tonight.....
