Big news around here! Kairis cut her first tooth last night, on her 8 month birthday! I gave her a ginormous carrot to gnaw on in her high chair last night while I was finishing making dinner with Tim, and shortly after Tim noticed something funny in her mouth. He felt around in there and felt a sharp little edge coming through her bottom gum. Sure enough, our peanut sprouted her first tooth--it's just barely above the surface today. Surprisingly, she's been in great spirits for nearly a week now, and didn't show any other signs of teething. Go figure...maybe all of those colds she had the past two weeks were leading up to this...?
On a sad note, some friends of ours passed away in a rock climbing accident on Sunday afternoon. It was a freak thing and I am still having a hard time collecting my thoughts around it all. This story has been in the news lots lately, but still, for privacy I won't be mentioning their names. Tim and I knew the gal (she's my age) who died and her husband, from Multnomah. Her husband was uninjured, but lost his young wife of 4.5 years and his older brother at the same time. I can't even imagine what he must be experiencing right now. We go way back to my childhood years at Eagle Fern Camp--her older sister was my camp counselor one summer. It seemed that everywhere Tim and I went, we'd somehow run into this young couple--school retreats, musicals, church gatherings (we didn't attend the same church), social events, and even our latest run in with them...a restaurant in downtown PDX a couple months ago. I attended the memorial today, and though I only knew one side of the family that lost their beloved, my heart goes out to the other family as well who lost their son/brother/father/husband. It was a packed out place at Good Shepherd, and I am thankful to have been able to go. Kairis was so well behaved, though we did sit in the cry room for most of the service "just in case". On a side note, I wish our church had a "cry room" for moms with young babies. That would be way cool. I was able to enjoy the entire service behind a glass wall that's sound proof and has the sound system wired through, without having to "shush" Kairis or leave the sanctuary every time she wanted to talk. Anyway...what a beautiful service and day to remember two young people who impacted our community for the greater good. They will be missed immensely.
Enjoy some pics of my sweet girl I took today...(you get them all since I couldn't choose the best one in the bunch! ;) )
