A little of this, a little of that.

Adriel wanted to show you this. That's right, he's lost his first tooth. He feel off the couch and hit his mouth on the floor and his tooth came out. He came running into the kitchen with blood coming out of his mouth and said in a horrified voice "My tooth came out!" I had looked at his teeth a few days earlier and I noticed that that one was a little wiggly, but I thought it was strange because I thought bottom teeth usually come out first. He cried and cried and was traumatized and wanted to put it back. I worried, I wasn't sure if it was ready to come out. After talking to a dental assistant, she assured me that he's probably fine. After he got used to the idea, he got pretty excited about putting it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. Although a few times a day, he tells me his new tooth still isn't here yet. I really hope his teeth come in ok. It's not like that little space left him much room for an adult teeth. He's been saving up his money for a kick stand for his bike, and with the tooth fairy's donation he had enough. My little boy is growing up too fast.

A few weeks ago, my friend had a baby. I offered to take her older son off her hands for the afternoon. While I was picking him up, one of her other friends showed up to meet the new baby. She asked me if I was the hairdresser friend. She told me that she was desperate to get her hair done and that she'd get Laura, my friend, to give her my info. She called me later that week and asked if I could squeeze her in last minute. Her name is Laurie. She's in the other ward. Her husband was recently called as bishop. They moved to winnipeg for him to go to school to become an architect. He graduated two years ago. As we visited, we found that we had a lot in common. We both went to Japan fresh out of highschool, for example. We really got along easily and had lots to talk about. She's a really interesting person. She's a dance teacher, and she teaches at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. She travels around to different cities to judge dancing, too. Then, I felt sad that I made this new friend that I wouldn't get to actually know, or build much of a relationship with because I'm leaving. sheesh,

Then, a few nights later, I was so bored waiting for Kyle to come home from work, I was checking my old hotmail email. I hardly ever do that. While I was checking, my friend Aya that I went to hair school with started talking to me on msn messenger. I had been wondering about her and what was going on with her life, because we had sort of lost touch. It had been about two years since I saw her, and I never had her updated info to tell her that we had moved. I asked her where she was living these days, because I knew she was in Calgary, but last I talked to her, they were thinking of going back to Japan for a while and stuff. She said you'll never believe where I'm living now. I asked where? WINNIPEG!!! Isn't that crazy?! They just moved here in January. They bought a house that's about ten minutes away from us, that they move into next month. I was so ecstatic. One of my old friends living in the same city as me?! She came over a few days ago. It was so great to catch up. Once again, sad though that it will only be for another couple of months, and then we'll go back to living far away from each other.

Those are the main highlights. Kyle has exams this week, so he's been studying every spare minute he has. He's also working almost every evening this week. I will be so glad when it's over.

I know its hard to move so much. I need to feel settled and have roots. I guess that's why I've lived here for almost 17 years...

adriel is losing all his babyishness and becoming a real boy (like Pinocchio). so like him to cry and want to put the tooth back in. i'm surpised he didn't carry it around with him and give it a name and play with it all day and night. :)

so cool about aya! bittersweet really. it always seems just after you make a decision to move, all these good relationships start popping up.

Actually he did carry it around, for a while, but I told him he should keep it safe and put it under his pillow. No names for it though.

That's cool about Aya. I remember when you guys came to stay with us in Van. I hope you guys get to spend a lot of time together before you move.
