The Tooth Fairy

First of all, thank you for your overly kind comments on my last post about our adoption wait; especially since the next day, I had a mini-meltdown and felt like our time would never come. Satan was trying to pull me down but it only lasted for a day. Now I'm back to being optimistic for "the call." I've thought about switching agencies since there are a few agencies who are known for matching quickly, but I know we chose our agency for a reason and have faith that our match is in His hands.

Now...on to the tooth fairy! Braylee was a little worried the tooth fairy would take her tooth. She wanted to see if the tooth fairy would come, but she also wanted to keep her tooth! She put her tooth in her little tooth fairy pillow and then put it under her pillow. The tooth fairy made her debut and left a little fairy dust behind in the process! :) The next morning, Braylee was so excited the tooth fairy came but left the tooth! She loved how the dollar was "new with no lines in it!" and of course was investigating the fairy dust closely. There just so happened to be a little fairy dust on the side table and on the bottom of the window blinds too, so now the girls are convinced the tooth fairy came in through the window. Later that morning, Braylee said to me, "The fairy dust looks a little bit like the silver glitter in my craft kit, but it's not!" :)

The tooth fairy came while she was fast asleep.

Her re-enactment the next morning. :)
If you look closely, you can see the fairy dust on the bed and side table.

Brynna has been inviting us to her spa and giving us foot baths. Guess what she was using to "massage" her own feet one night when I found her...her battery-operated toothbrush!! Ack! BTW, Braylee and I are not complaining about Brynna's new playtime activity. ;)
We've had a busy week with helping Tracee and Nick get settled in, running errands, loving on Abbie before Callie comes, gymnastics, etc. We also had something big happen on Sunday. Alex was chosen to be an elder at our church. I am so thankful for the Godly leader he is in our home and I pray he is able to demonstrate that in our church also. It's definitely something God has been laying on his heart. Please keep him (and us girls) in your prayers over this 4-year term.
