Older Cousins Rock!

During winter break, my three nieces, who live in Maryland, came over for a few days to hang out with their little cousins (and favorite Aunt & Uncle >>grin<< ). It was great to have guest in our house who JUMP at the chance to change Sophia's diapers. I didn't change a diaper for a full 2+ days!

Velia came over for one night to babysit the girls so Bob and I could go out to dinner & the movies! [We saw Slumdog Millionaire which was an awesome movie... best one that I've seen in a long time]. Velia came up another night from Maryland with her boyfriend to visit Grandmom and then came by for dinner. After dinner at Our Place Restaurant & Bar, we came back to the house and listened to them sing karaoke. Craig played his guitar and sang which was cool.

[I plan to post a video of the karaoke when I'm back from Florida next week. I haven't had time to download and edit video.]

N2O Candidate

NO, I'm not talking about Sydney. She is a dream dental patient....

ready to go and SMILING

she evens likes to floss or to be flossed....

and she treasured her new toothbrush all day

...then there's Sophia.... a trial run GONE BAD.

One day she will be begging for N2O just like her Mom, who is a big wuss. Here's to Dr. Sansone's best & worst patient of the day :-)
