Ladybugs & Dragonflies: September 2009
http://ladybugsanddragonflies.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 19, 2009. The first photo shows the effects of baby-bottle mouth. Was relatively mild (in large part since we adopted her when she was 18 months old), it was present for sure. She had numerous cavities and decay, the most obvious being that in between her two top front teeth. She was very aware of this, and would always try to floss it away (I sure wish it worked that way! Dentist actually drilling on Livie. Without having given her any pain/numbing medicine. First Day of School.

Ladybugs & Dragonflies: June 2009
http://ladybugsanddragonflies.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. Lindsay now has a job (for the summer, anyway). She is working for Neil in 'the family biz', which is guaranteed to ensure she goes to college since who really wants to take over the family business? Now that she has a job and a paycheck, the next step was a checking account. Lindsay is putting 1/2 of her earnings in her checking account and 1/2 in her savings account. In approximately 5 days she should receive her debit card. Looking over the bank documents. With her dad, Neil.
