Oy.

we were so sad to see kathy and dan leave on monday :( we all went out to do a little shopping and have lunch before they had to catch their plane. during lunch, avery and grandma kathy had some "bonding" time :) sometimes, bonding hurts...(ps, i've seen 4 deer this week up here! no joke....sorry dan!)

almost immediately after we dropped them at the airport, my tooth started throbbing and then shooting pain through my head...dentists and throwing up are my worst fears and i avoid each at all costs, but this pain was unbearable. i headed down to my parents house where avery would be taken care of and i could go see my dad's dentist and ultimately get referred to an oral surgeon for an emergency appt. to get a wisdom tooth removed. it's done, my fear of dentists is a little less fierce and i know what to expect when the others come out...

while i was at my parent's, meghan stopped by a couple time and we're happy to report that avery's anxiety towards "strangers" (ie not mom or dad) has apparently vanished! she was nothing but smiles for meghan and got pretty comfortable while she was getting fed :)

last night zane took avery and i to a local ice cream place :) the weather was warm, i still can't eat solid food (or smile, apparently...)and last year we daydreamed about this spring when the baby would be out of the belly and joining us for ice cream (even if we're the only ones able to eat it :)) it was a dream come true...
