August was a very busy month. We began the month with a visit to my sisters new house in Maryland. It is very cute and right on the Chesapeake Bay. It was an extremely HOT day, but we walked over to the water anyway. It was beautiful!! Keegan freaks at being on piers in general, but this was was even harder since there were no sides!! We had to drag him out to get some pictures and keep him from going crazy over Chloe being free. A great day was had by all and Chloe especially enjoyed the corn on the cob.
Then, Sunday August 5, Chloe officially joined our crew and not in the way you might think. Our family as well as the Clifton family were at Burger King for supper. The kids were all in the play area having a grand time playing. They had eaten supper and moved onto desserts. Suddenly, Noah ran in to tell us Chloe was bleeding. OK, we don't necessarily jump when we hear that (too many times our kids have been bleeding, I guess). I went in and realized it was a little more serious than I thought. She had blood all over everywhere. I quickly scooped her up and went to clean her up so we could see what was wrong. After finally getting blood removed, we realized she has knocked a tooth out. Not only a tooth, but a upper front tooth and it was the ENTIRE tooth. WE were trying to assess the situation and all she wanted to do was get back down and play. The Clifton's were getting the kids ready to go because we thought for sure Chloe was heading to the ER (previous experience in Iceland sound familiar???) However, Cody and Kale had dentist appointments the next day and she seemed fine, so we all just headed home. Somehow, the Cliftons and Davis' together equal losing teeth:)
The dentist visit went well. The dentist said if she had to knock a tooth out, she had done it the right way. There were no more injuries to her mouth as seen by the x-ray. She will be missing the tooth until the permanent tooth grows in. The two boys did great at the dentist and only need a few very small cavities filled (so small they didn't even need numbing).
At the end of that week, we were involved in a Pillar Church family mission project. This involved passing out block party invitation in Quantico in the rain, helping a church plant in Midlothian with a block party, and putting on the block party in Quantico. Although, it was extremely hot, we had a great time and enjoyed helping the two churches out.
Then real life began on the 20th , as I had to go back to work. It is always such a sad day. I began a new position this year, so everything is new to me. Keegan also had surgery during this week to have much needed dental work done. He had 7 teeth taken out and 5 silver caps put in. We hope this will help with his permanent teeth in the future. He was typical Keegan and woke up ready to eat:)
On the 27th, school began for the boys. Cody is in 4th grade this year and has a wonderful teacher. He also has many friends, including Spencer, who he enjoys spending time with. Kale is in 1st grade and enjoying school somewhat. He is not necessarily the most motivated child, but we are working on that. We made the decision to retain Keegan this year, so he is also in 1st grade in Mrs. Carey's room. This has been an excellent decision!! We have already seen such a difference from last year. He has matured lots and has lots of effort and support. WE are very proud of all of them and can't wait to see all that this year holds. Chloe began going to Mrs. Bonnie's and after crying and screaming the first two days, loves hanging out with her friends each day.
So this is the official wrap up for August 2007. I will add pictures later and blog on September. hopefully before October ends I can get caught up. Thank you for all the wonderful people who keep reminding me I need to blog:))
