Toothfairy Sightings


On Valentine's Day, Madeline lost her first tooth! We have been awaiting this big day! She let it get so loose that when Deacon barely touched it, it popped into her mouth.

As far as the tooth fairy goes, she nearly ruined the excitement by forgetting to show up until 6:20 the next morning. Fortunately, it was the one morning all the kids slept in until about 6:45. Ivan claims to have seen this fairy in the middle of the night which he claims is around 2 ft. tall. The tooth fairy has taken Madeline's tooth to use to continue building her tooth kingdom.

A couple days later, Madeline had the brilliant idea to try the tooth fairy again for some money. She took a popcorn kernel and placed it in her tooth pillow. The tooth fairy gave her only one penny, but I don't think it will work again.

Set on Go


Here she is offering great help during dinner prep.

Although Gracie is still a mellow sweetie, she has definitely been finding her way around or over or into all sorts of things.
