If you look closely, you will see that Mason has lost both of his front teeth.
The first one was loose, but took forever to get out. The second one, much faster. Once it was loose, some of mom's compulsive behavior came through and he stayed up half the night working on it. The gap the 2 teeth left is huge, so I hope he doesn't have 2 Bucky beaver teeth come in. Their first day of school went well, but it's nearly impossible to get the 411 out of them. All they ever seem to remember is recess and lunch. I hope they are retaining some of the teaching, cause it's a long hard life when you don't, trust me.
I'm still staying up way to late to watch the Olympics. Now, of course, the women's beach volleyball finals were on later last night and the men's is on at 10pm tonight. Since these are 2 of my favorites, I have to stay up for them. I hope you all watched Shawn Johnson win her gold on the beam. It's amazing how much I was into women's gymnastics because of her, and I don't even know her. Since she is from WDM, I wanted her to win so bad. The saddest thing I've seen in the Olympics was watching Lolo Jones trip over the 9th hurdle out of 10 when she was winning the race. I went to the send off we had in DM, I've heard her interviewed on local TV stations and I watched her at the Olympics and I must say she is one of the nicest people I have ever heard. After she fell in the Olympic finals, something she had worked all of her life for, she still had the grace to grant an interview to American TV. Then, during that interview, she stopped to hug and congratulate the silver medalist as she walked behind her. I heard her say "Great job sweetie." That about brought a tear to my eye when I thought about how disappointed she must be, but still stopped what she was doing to say good job. THAT is what the games are about and I think all of Iowa is more proud of who she is, rather than what she has or hasn't done. I better go, the volleyball match is starting soon. USA, USA, USA

And....shortly after, the camera caught her in utter agony, sobbing under the stadium....feel so bad for her. BUT, I'm in 100% agreement on her character and how she represents Iowa and the US!
