Ian FINALLY lost his first tooth Sunday night after days of wiggling. Following a brief photo session to show off the gap, he put it in a baggie and said, “Here, Mom, you keep this for me.” (see Who Needs the Tooth Fairy?).
Kevin and April were amazed to realize that they have been parents for 10 years! We are not sure how Megan became so grown up in what seems such a short time. To celebrate, Megan enjoyed a family party with just parents and siblings on Tuesday, 6 March, and ate her annual birthday quiche--yes, Megan would rather have quiche than cake. We thank the Campbells for providing an oven in which to bake the quiche (our oven igniter died and we had been without baking facilities for over a week; Kevin finally replaced the igniter with Grandpa's help on Saturday).
Thursday, Megan celebrated with a friend party. Here she is with friends Sunny, Eden, Amelia, Emily, and Julia. Her final celebration was with Grandparents on Saturday, but by that time she was tired of us taking photos.
In addition to the birthday festivities of Saturday, we participated in the Cache Valley Home School Science Fair, held this year at the North Logan Library. Megan and Ian worked very hard on their projects, starting weeks in advance and finishing late the night before.
Their projects were very popular and they both did a great job presenting to the crowds. Megan’s project involved running mice through a maze to test their learning, and she also made a short video telling about the natural history of mice (complete with a demonstration of her snake catching and eating a mouse). Ian tested the shooting distance of his Medieval trebuchet using different weights of projectiles and counterweights and graphed the results.
When the excitement of the week had subsided on Saturday night, Megan decided it was time to chop off her gorgeous long hair to donate it to Locks of Love. Megan is thrilled to have short hair despite the lamentations of her parents.

Soren just lost his first teeth yesterday but it was to the dentist's pliers instead of his wiggling! We discovered that his adult teeth had come in behind the baby ones which didn't show signs of budging. And then the tooth fairy forgot to come even after he'd left a note and everything....
The science fair projects look great. I still want to see the trebuchet and Megan's video.
