Sophia at Six and a Half

This just in....as of one hour ago, Sophia lost her two front teeth! Not kidding. One was very loose, but she actually knocked them out with her knee, on accident. No tears, only joy, as we have been waiting for her to lose the one loose one for awhile. David actually tried to pull it out two days ago, but didn't happen.

 This girl also is a true delight. She LOVES exploring outdoors, or any kind of adventure or adventure story...she loves Chinese school, and likes homeschool, though 'love' would be too strong a word.
