Thank Goodness We Have Dental Insurance
Posted in Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Oct 23rd, 2015
All four kids had their dental check-ups today, and whew, it’s going to be an expensive coming decade. Tommy and Elizabeth have small jaws that will probably need some expanding, and their teeth are coming in huge and crooked. That’s normal at this stage, but the dentist affirmed that their mouths are so crowded that […]

It’s amazing how motivated children can be when you tell them they can play with friends after schoolwork is done. Tommy was up before 7 am, working on math, in order to be free to play with James this afternoon! Elizabeth buckled down on her work, too, flying through her phonics, handwriting, and math test. […]
