The girls had their dentist appointments this morning. They also had xrays taken that look at their whole mouth. The findings? M definitely has orthodontia in her near future. Her teeth are all crowded together and she will probably need a spacer to help make room for them. A may need orthodontia too, but she has only lost 2 teeth and has a few loose. The dentist saw something odd on A's xray – one of her two top front teeth has something on it – either a shadow from the camera, an extra cusp, or an extra tooth. We will have to wait until winter to repeat the test and find out what it is.

I went to work today but the girls hung out in the backyard and played in the sprinkler. Sounds cute – I wish I had seen it!

Happy birthday to Rachel! We can't wait to see her tomorrow and help celebrate her bat mitzvah!
