Another Tooth Fairy Sighting?

My eldest girl, B, came up to me last night and showed me one of her front baby teeth that fell out. It's our tradition that the tooth fairy pillow is the beacon for the Tooth Fairy to come. We have used it for all our children and they are so very familiar in what to expect....

Once the pillow is out, the child in 'tooth mourning' leaves precious hand written notes to the Tooth Fairy with wishes for specific candy that all the siblings can share. One standard sweet that is always on the list is Haribo Golden Gummi Bears. This has been Neve's favorite so I'm sure a little bias was planted early on... :-)

They usually get a few treats in lieu of money, mostly because of the fun morning reactions and toothless smiles that brighten the room amongst the innocent interactions and sibling conversations. Sometimes the Tooth Fairy brings a special something that one of the children has so previously longed for. But I suspect tonight it will be simple pleasures for all to enjoy...

Super Mom Made it to Santiago!

Woo Hoo!!!!

Our adventurous SUPER MOM and WIFE has made the long trek to the city of Santiago de Compostela.  She Skyped the kiddos this morning that she attended the famous mass at the church in front of 1000's and she and her fellow pilgrims were in the front row!

So now the last chapter of her journey r is to Fisterra, the furthest edge of Spain to empty out some of our 4 legged ashes that she toted across the world.  Spinnaker, Q, Alma, Buoy and Harbour will be making their final destination on the edge of western European world.  I know they had a great time making this journey with their Super Mom!  I'm sure the sight along the beach/rocks will be a beautiful one.  I can only imagine......

We love you and miss you dearly!

A Beautiful Day...

An email from my endearing peregrina stated she was in a castle Albergue and she had found a little boyfriend by her bed....

...A fat toad...

He may be your Spanish Prince Charming, so pucker up sweety!

It's been a beautiful day here in NC and especially a nice surprise when my little 'Princess A' wanted to ride her bike without training wheels!! She hopped on and was going on the very first try! Now she is riding up and down the sidewalk like a broken record on repeat. She was all smiles!!!

And to top it off, I found a little buddy on my side porch....

What a day!
