I was going to write all about Marl3n's visit and then I read her diary and thought I should just write "ditto what she said" here. Well except the weight part. Though sweet of her to say, believe me some clothes just must hide the weight I need to lose better than others.

Anyway, it was wonderful to meet her and it was just like I've known her forever. Her kids are also adorable and even though she doesn't show them off online like I do, I can tell you that she should. I really enjoyed watching our two Noah's side by side, especially at the end of the night when they were sliding together. It was too cute. I think Kar1 had a blast too. It's a shame Mar is so far away because it would be great to be able to get together more often having two kids so close in age. Noelle was still asking me this morning about Ms. Marlen and how she took the "right" Noah home with her too. I know that being back in town that she had many people she wanted to try to see while she was here, and I'm glad she was able to take the time to visit somebody she has never met!

If you are wondering about the dental visit, it actually went very well. Nicolas was into EVERYTHING and asking a million questions but the hygenist and the dentist were both EXTREMELY patient (for not being a pediatric dental office) and they just made it so much easier for me to be able to relax as much as one can relax when you are at the dentist. Even Noelle couldn't wait to get up in the chair herself and have her turn, and even let them clean her teeth as well, so it all worked out. However, I made the follow-up visits to bring the two kids at once and then myself on another day.

Ok, it's my first full day at work this week so I guess I should make it count!
