The broken toe wasn't exactly helpful to the process, but I was excited earlier this month to take my first international work trip since the start of the pandemic: to Sardinia, Italy of all places, for an executive retreat and awards thing for our global sales team. It was a haul (Sardinia is far to the south, nearly in the Middle East). But as "work trips" go, I obviously have no complaints.
First of all, business class is a game changer.
This post is pretty rugged.
Our little girl inherited my strangely narrow jaw and this weird condition where the roots on the baby teeth don't dissolve the way they should. As a result, her little mouth was packed with too many teeth vying for position, and some of them were practically coming out her nostrils (not literally, but close enough).
So a couple of weeks ago, Melissa took her in to have SEVEN teeth extracted AT THE SAME TIME! And if that were not enough, the kid declined general anesthesia and opted for numbing only, so she was awake the whole time. (Shudder). Such a brave little munchkin.
Her mom and I think she looks great in them. And of course as every kid knows, new braces means ICE CREAM.
Spring seems like it is dragging its feet some here in the NE, with temps more of less sticking in the 40s and 50s for most of April. On the upside, the flowers popping up all over the yard at 150 Dakin have been a wonderful surprise. We didn't move in until late May, so we missed the early display last year.
