LeBonheur & the Girls

So the girls have made a few appearances on my hospital's website.

Tatum's picture from the Pumpkin Run 2006 has been featured on the commercial for the Pumpkin Run 2007 and during the groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital. Kelly and Tatum are both featured in the rehab department on a video tour of the hospital. If you go to the link for the 2007 Pumpkin Run, they show a collage of pics from 2006 and you can see Tatum's picture and Kelly (during the costume contest-cheetah girl).

For the groundbreaking ceremony, I was selected to be one of the associates to wear a red fleece to make the heart in the picture above but had to cancel at the last minute...once I saw in the video that the associates were required to hold hands and sway, I was very relieved that I had to miss out. If you watch the video from that day, a few of the kids that are digging at the end of the video have been patients of mine or our rehab department.

Here are the links:

Dear Tooth Fairy...

So Tatum's first grown up tooth entered the world before her baby tooth fell out (seems to be a pattern of ours). She ate a lot of apples and spent a lot of time wiggling her baby tooth. She became so focused on it that her teachers teased that her homework was to pull the tooth out that night! Finally, it came out.

She talked her sister into writing a note to the Tooth Fairy to place with the tooth. Her note to the Tooth Fairy read:

"Dear Tooth Fairy,

I want the tooth and the money.

Love, Tatum"

Yeah, even imaginary adults aren't exempt from Tate.

Halloween 2007

This year we celebrated Halloween with Kelly's friend Mary and her family. Kelly was Mulan and Tatum was Pikachu (surprise!). We did not get around to carving pumpkins this year, so we carved pumpkin pancakes.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for the great costumes!
