Tiki lost a tooth last night! It really isn't any big deal since it was lost tooth number 8, but it was lost tooth number 1 as a Braner. I also don't really know why it was a big deal because I'm not a big fan of lost teeth and the Tooth Fairy and all of that. I just don't care and it isn't a big deal to me (I know, I'm such a sentimental schmuck). But when Tiki's tooth fell out last night it was so sweet to me. He didn't even know he was supposed to be excited. It was just so precious that I got to be a part of something of his childhood--that was the feeling I had--"Oh! I didn't miss this!" I have missed so much in his life and I didn't miss tooth number 8 falling out!
We all snowboarded today. It was a beautiful day. . .a no coat day on the mountain! Perfectly beautiful! Hays is rockin' on the half pipe! Maggie is boarding down the mountain making super turns! Dax is getting braver and doing toe side and heel side. Tiki is gaining some grace and control and he is really good! And Andy spent the day being patient with me! We had a "snowboard date." It wasn't my idea of ultimate romance, but it was very sweet! He was very encouraging and he was a great coach! It was fun being on the mountain with my family! (Gabby spends Sunday mornings with a friend while we board.)
(And for all of you church-types. . .our church has two services: one on top of lift one at 2:00 on Sunday and one at 6:00 on Sunday night. Culturally relavent church for a skiing/boarding community!)
Andy is off to Dallas for the week! I have him booked with all kinds of fun people: his roommate from Baylor, his KOT big brother, his real little brother, some great Kivu kids and parents, a couple of great Dallas based ministries and he is spear-heading spiritual imphasis week at Trinity Christian Academy. We will miss him, but he loves what he does and we love living like bachelors while he is gone!
All is well in the Braner home. Our Valentine's Day card is in the works and I cannot wait to get it out! I have a dear friend coming for a visit this coming weekend! Andy maybe (?!?!?) a new-used car tomorrow!?!??!
I love you all!
