September

Well, it was that time of year for the girls to go to the dentist. Our usual dentist was selling his practice and so it was a perfect time for us to switch. My next door neighbor growing up is a pediatric dentist, and all of my family go to him...so we gave him a shot. He was awesome and the girls loved him and his office! Lilly's teeth were great. She still has never had a cavity - let's hope that doesn't change. Claire Bear had two. Darn. They were in between her two back molars. So, we had to schedule time to go back and have those taken care of. Cute little thing did perfect! I took her picture with her mouth numbed so I could send it to Anton. Right after I took it, she asked "Can I see?"...broke my heart because the next thing she said was "I look so bad". But, when it came time to her going to school and showing her friends, she was great. I hope she always has that great confidence. 

I have really enjoyed hiking this year. I used to hate hiking...and would dread it. I think the main reason was because my legs would hurt so bad afterward, that it wasn't worth it. After I had both my knees operated on, I have been able to run and hike without any pain. So, it has changed it entirely for me. I am also getting in much better shape - so that helps too. I was so proud of myself this day because I finally ventured off on my own to do a hike...sounds dumb, but I was a little nervous to go without Anton. Now, I go every week while the girls are in school. I absolutely love it. I am always so in awe of how beautiful the mountains are. 

Went to visit Gramps for his birthday. I still miss that guy and think about him daily!
