Happy Toothday!
Chipdip lost his first tooth today. He has been looking forward to this for a long time, and as soon as it happened, he called everyone we could think of to share the news. We sure hope the tooth fairy visits tonight!
Actually, Mommy is a little ambivalent about this. I want to hang on to every moment of G's childhood, and this little step toward adulthood is difficult for me to take. It's only because of G's joy that I am able to focus on the positive and swallow my sentimentality.
And now, the story. It happened, as all things seem to happen, while I was in the bathroom. Matt saw this:
and let me know that I had better get out in a hurry. We were going to have tacos for dinner, so we knew that the tooth would need to come out before G started crunching any shells. Matt just reached in and pulled it out. You can see for yourself:

Here are the before (30 October 2010) and after (today, 5 December 2010) photos of Chip's beautiful smile:
He keeps saying, "I can't believe I lost my tooth today!" Looks like someone will be asking Santa for a new front tooth!

Zip-A-Dee Doo Dah
We finally went on our ziplining adventure today that we bought over the summer through Groupon. It was something we have wanted to do for a very long time, and we weren't disappointed. Here is a photo log of our day.
Laura had said that when we turn off the main road, it would look like we were being led into a trap. When we turned onto this dirt road, we knew we were going the right way. |
This abandoned mill is barely standing, but still beautiful. |
It is a really nice property - 137 acres - with a beautiful lodge with games to play while you wait. Matthew beat me in foosball, 10-3. |
We were raring to go. |

Here he comes! |

We wanted to go as fast as possible. |
It was impossible to cross the bridge without grabbing the wires, but it wasn't scary with all the ropes to lean into. |
This is the highest platform at 70 feet above the ground. |
Here I am on the longest zipline of the course. It was about 750 feet long.
Here comes Matt. Notice that you can hear the wire "singing" long before you can see him.
I was so excited to pose for the camera, I forgot to brake and came in fast and twisted. We thought it was funny, how confident we were by then. |
We got to race each other on the last zipline. |
Matt was winning as soon as we started. |
Right after this photo was taken, I decided that since I was losing, I would go ahead and slide with my legs up in the air. Do you see our reflections in the water? |
