I have to post this story about Anna because I want to remember it always. Her two front teeth were loose for a while and one of them she pulled out pretty easily after Trevor tied some floss on it. The other one, well, it was being pretty stubborn and it was starting to get infected and gross. Dr. Dad tried the floss thing a bunch of times, but it never came out. She decided that it was not worth the tiny amount of pain to just pull it right out, so Trevor had to lovingly convince her to just let him pull it out. He tried for a while, but there was a lot of crying and spitting and a little bleeding, which magnifies everything to extreme drama level when you are a 6 year old little girl. Finally Trevor borrowed some anaesthetic that a friend had and a diabetic needle, numbed her up (which involved more extreme drama) and pulled it right out. It's a good thing that her dad is her dentists cause I've never seen her so scared, uncooperative, and thrown such a fit! So funny. This picture is before the other one was pulled out, but it is so cute. We love our toothless Anna.

Wow, good thing Trevor is a dentist. Hope all is well in AZ, we miss you!
Funny! I had to pull my niece Elisabeth's tooth out a couple of weeks ago. Lots of drama for a little thing, she's 13!
