t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

The First but Not the Last!

The day has come when the tooth fairy must now visit our humble abode. She'll be stopping by quite frequently over the next 10 years, I anticipate. But the first is always special. (Ellery is really going to love this post when she's a teenager. Talk about flattering photography!)

Last night...wiggling, wiggling...spotting a bit of blood...saving a chocolate milk mustache for later...
This morning after a 30 minutes ordeal of wiggling, more wiggling and blood...I finally pulled that little incisor right out of her cute little mouth!

Calling to spread the joyful news. Of course she didn't want to wait until the blood stopped flowing.


The beginnings of a big girl smile. Sigh.....

The obligatory letter to the Tooth Fairy, of course...

Ready and waiting!

Ellery is so cute. I hope you're feeling better. Did you end up getting the dresses done or did I miss that post? I'd love to see them!
