Tooth!

Last week on Wednesday I found Evelyn's first tooth! It was just barely above her gum but it's there! It's her bottom right.

Caleb just finished his Summer school semester and starts up next week with the Fall semester. We're hoping he'll only have Fall, Spring and Summer school and start pharmacy school in the Fall of next year. We won't start filling out school apps until early next year.

Caleb & I teach the 11 year old primary/sunday school class and love it but I'm not sure how much longer we'll be able to do it. Evelyn's quite a distraction now that she can climb up on things. She also LOVES paper, books, manuals, scriptures so the kids have to keep the scriptures off their laps and floor!

I've started a new cross stitch pattern and hope to have it done before Brent leaves on his mission to NYC. It says "New York" and has a few scenes from NY on it.

I'm really enjoying couponing. I love to shop (for anything but clothes for myself) so couponing is great! Today's 3 transactions at Walgreens included the same 2 items.

2-Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner (14.2 oz each)

Total = $2.54

3 transactions/6 Head & Shoulders = $7.62

The same stuff from Costco is $.26 an ounce and I got it for $.09!
