Did anyone watch that Ohio State, Florida game? Did you see the way the Ohio State defense dominated? They must have been on the field twice as long as the Florida defense…
Teigan’s exciting day
Teigan’s first lost tooth.
| Teigan’s tooth fell out at school today. “I was doing a work, and it felt like my tooth was in mid-air in my mouth, and I spit it out, and my teacher asked if it fell out, and she gave me water, plain water, with no salt, to rinse my mouth, and it bleeded a lot, and she wrapped it in a tissue and put it in a plastic bag, and she showed the whole class, and they all thought it was scary, but I wasn’t scared at all!” Now picture that being said about twice as fast as you just read it, in a really high, lisping voice (the chipmunk voice) .

Port a
You walk the same beach every day and see the same birds. Swarms of sanderlings, flowing up and down the slope of the beach with the rhythm of the waves, punctuated by the little plovers and the occasional dunlin. The flock magically opens as you walk through, like a school of tropical fish, closing like it never happened when you’ve passed. The larger ruddy turnstones and red knots, larger still black bellied plovers, and even larger willets. Biggest are the great blue herons. Finally, after all these years, we recognize them all at a glance, always watching for something different. Then, without seeing something different, we realize we’ve been wrong on the little plovers. We thought there were two little round birds with collars and bald heads, reminding us of friar tuck of the Robin Hood stories, but there are three. The snowy plover has gray legs, but piping plover legs don’t range between yellow and orange, the yellow legs are piping and the orange legs are semi-palmated plovers. We thought we were looking at two tiny peeps on the beach, and they were three. We’ll keep working at it.
