Of teeth, soccer and teenagers

Well, yesterday my Leah had to get four of her precious baby teeth pulled. She was VERY nervous about it, but we have a brilliant dentist and she was surprised to discover that it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. Now the tooth fairy is at work making the teeth grow money, as if those puppies haven't cost her enough already!
Peter enjoyed his first soccer game of the season last night. He's taken a few seasons off, but did very well, and thanks to what we can tell will be wonderful coaching, his team pulled off their first win. Saturday was his last basketball game, so we're diving into the next sports season head-on. I think this might be something I need to get used to with this active boy of mine.
Hannah spent her evening (from after school on) with a friend here. We like having friends over here, sharing our table for meals and becoming comfortable communicating with us as parents as well. I hope as she grows she will be welcomed into other's homes with equally open arms. It can get awkward when there's trouble within the family, but if we're not accepted warts and all, what's the point? And why try to pretend that no problems exist here when they're inevitable wherever one goes?
