For the love of teeth.

It would appear that I have somewhere, along the way, pissed off someone and now its payback time! Am I ever paying out the whatnot!! What could I possibly be rambling about? TEETH!!!

As I prepare to get them to their cleaning and checkup appointment, I am filled with dread at the news that I am no doubt going to get... Marian's orthodontic journey is going to take flight soon and Gabriel will need dental surgery.

Let's do a quick stock take... Micaela is in braces already, in a few months she will hopefully have them out but will get a retainer. Marian (who has the exact same overbite issue Micaela had) will be in braces soon, since she has lost a whack of baby teeth. Gabriel with his lazy tooth, that will have to be cut out and dragged into place with braces!!! Lucian is still a mystery. Not so much Clarisse, her overbite is more pronounced as a baby than the girls ever was. Double you tee eff!?! I fear we will be filing for bankrupcy soon.

Don't get me wrong... PLEASE! I am very, very thankful that this is my biggest source of stress and that my children are otherwise incredibly healthy. I would have it no other way! I am also really greatful that we found good doctors who are good at what they do and are amazing with my kids, so much so that the kids love going!

Hitting the road: Step 1, G1.

Yay me! I did it! It took a very, very long time to get it started but the fact of the matter is that the ball she is a-rolling. I am talking about driving.

I took the written test and am in possession of my G1 learner's permit!!!

I still feel like I want to kick myself for not having done it sooner but I'm a firm believer that everything will happen as it should.

I officially stink at this.

It would appear that I am terrible at maintaining a blog! I'm a little disappointed in myself, yet I keep feeling hopeful that I am going to do better.

Once again, almost 3 years have gone by in the real world. Our family has since grown.

Clarisse joins the clan😊

We have welcomed a little sister, Clarisse Larsa, to our baby bouquet. I have become a mom of five!

My life!

We had and lost a pet (betta fish, good old Lucky) and gained two more (betta fish, Red and Gill). We've also moved house again. 

And in other news... We have another new cousin, my gorgeous Godson, Antoine.

We have lost loved ones on both sides of the family tree, uncle Shmail and aunty Gerty. May their souls forever rest in peace.



Now that miss Clarisse is 2,

Princess Sofia wishes she was as cute as this little Princess!!

and the other kids are all at school,

Time flies when you're having fun😊

(yes, Lucian started junior kindergarten last September!) I might just be able to pull this [blogging] off as I try to stay ahead of chores and such.

Keeping my fingers crossed :)
