Teeth, Tacos, and Transitions

Teeth:
This is a picture of a cause of of pain and suffering in our life:
Those are teeth number 3 and 4. They have been threatening to break through for a while and they are both finally through. J has not enjoyed the experience. Hopefully now that they are broken through he will not cry so much and we will see his happy smile more often. He has had some fun though. He has really learned to work the his bouncy chair:



Tacos:
This week, as she often does, Connie experimented with some new recipes. One of them she tried was a definite winner: Marinated pork-pull apart tacos. She found the recipe here: Spicy Shredded Pork (be warned: If you go to this site, there are hundreds of good looking recipes and you will get very hungry). Served with a little Guacamole, a few olives, and a corn tortilla, they are absolutely wonderful.

Transitions:
This week was also the first week off of day late savings time. It is always a little bit of a rough transition with the clock being set back and it getting dark before six. The kids have been a little awnry and cold weather hasn't helped. But we are determined to not let it get us down. We often go for walks on Sunday evenings and despite the rain and dark we still went for a walk tonight and had a good time (well maybe Sam didn't):

J flashed a great smile in my direction yesterday, but it was brief. My kids get their teeth late, so we have awhile before we have to deal with that. Poor kid.

Glad to know those pesky teeth are now through the gums.
