More teeth!
What is it with teeth this week?? Janae went to Cassidy's house last night and came home missing a tooth! Laurie, did you whack her? ha,ha No, she had been pulling on it, but couldn't get it out until she ate some hard stuff, and it came out. Hopefully that won't happen again for a few weeks! Drama, drama, drama.
Poetry Publication
Janae got a letter today from The America Library of Poetry requesting they be allowed to publish one of her poems that her teacher sent in. I don't know if every entry sent in is going to be published in this book, or if they are just selecting some. We are way excited though! So, of course we are going to allow them to publish it, and I'll be writing a check for $38.95 to get the book! They will start selecting winners of the contest over the summer, and will send out letters to the winners after Sept 30th. Way cool!! I guess I shouldn't complain that she doesn't play sports, or do other "stuff" like that, when she's had 2 art pieces put on display at the Civic Center, and now she's going to be a published author, and she's only 10! That's my girl!! :)

Tooth time
Today, Hunter heard something on TV about wiggling a tooth, so he decided to wiggle his top left tooth, because it was loose. 
The next thing we knew, he came running out of the bathroom saying his tooth was gone. We/he doesn't know when, where, or how. I'm thinking that he swallowed it. (So, Kristen, if you find a random tooth in your house, it belongs to us!)
Guess it was time to come out!

Speech Class
Who would have ever thought I would get to do this while studying to be a paralegal? In speech class, we were assigned to do a group service project, then do a group speech on it. We picked the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center on 93rd and Indiana.
Some of their animals will never be able to be released back into the wild, they wouldn't be able to survive, mainly due to physical problems. Some wouldn't be able to hunt, and some wouldn't be able to defend themselves. So, they've been at the center awhile, some for years.
This is a bobcat....
a possum....
I'm feeding baby birds....that was fun. Although I had to squish a live worm to give the bird...yuck!
A brand new baby bird....
And, I bet nobody can guess what this is!!! tee, hee
Barn owls....we cleaned this cage out, it was pretty gross. It hadn't been cleaned in about a month because these two owls had babies in there, and you can't clean it with babies in there. The parents are so protective, they will attack anybody coming in. I will just say that the birds manage to drop part of their meals all over the floor, and what do barn owls eat?? Certain little rodents, whose body parts were all over the floor. I'll say it for you.....ewwww!!!!!!!!!!!
Now these barn owls had babies. The lady showing us around opened up the door so we could see, and my goodness, those things hiss like snakes. It is amazingly loud, and let me tell you, if I walked into somebody's barn and heard that, I would certainly run the other way. Literally. She said that barn owls are federally protected, and there is a waiting list of farmers wanting the birds. She said they are a farmer's best friend. Brooke, maybe you should look into this for your snake problem. Seriously.
And a fawn. The paper actually had an article about this fawn the day we were there. It had been kidnapped from the "wild", somewhat accidentally, and brought to the center. Apparently, mama deer leave their fawns, and only check on them a couple times of day, and someone found it by itself, and thought it had been deserted. So, anyway, the "center lady" said that if it's in good health, and well fed, then it probably was fine and should have been left. I can't tell you how sorry I feel for mama deer. Came to check on baby, and it was gone. Anyway, this baby will be released back out when it gets big enough to live on it's own.
It was a great way to spend a morning, I would encourage anyone looking for volunteer oppportunities to check it out.

Go Astros!
Hunter had his very first coach pitch baseball game tonight! Here he is in the outfield, getting ready for any ball to come his way. (Not really, but that was the plan!)
Ready to bat!
Yay! He got a hit, and made it to 1st, then 2nd....
3rd....
and HOME!!! Way to go Hunt!
We won 8-2. Not bad for the first game!

"Going Public"
I am going to try to go public again. I may end up having to go private again, we'll just wait and see. I think I may change my blog address, so comment if you want me to let you know what it changes to! That way I won't have to worry about the person finding it that I didn't want to find it!
It drives me absolutely nuts that it doesn't update on everyone else's blog when I'm private. So bring on the comments, I'm back!
Make sense?? I didn't think so! ha, ha
