Today is a happy, happy day. The day before we left, Ivan and Dominique went to the dentist. They said Ivan needed 2 crowns and 2 fillings over a 2 day procedure and that Dominique needed 2 small fillings. They wedged Dominique into their day, but didn't have time to do Ivan's. I've been quite stressed over his teeth since dental is not covered here, but chatted with a long time friend of our family who is also a dentist and she said she'd do the work for free. Today she had a cancellation and we were able to get in. It was a beautiful facility with no wait, she was so nice and then the miracle- his teeth were perfect! She said "honestly, there is no work for me to do here" and kept saying how nice his teeth were, that there is lots of space between them and that they are in great condition. She also asked if the other dentist was young. When I said that it was always someone different because it was a big corporate type kids dentistry place, she recommended getting just one dentist so that we could trust that person.
No kidding! The first time they said Ivan had 7 cavities and filled them. Now I wonder if they were even there. When Dominique had hers done, as they were working on them, they kept saying how small they were and even took one of them off her work order. It makes you wonder if they were just cashing in on medicaid's pay all policy. Or maybe they really did get WAY better? or something in between? Who knows, who cares, I'm just glad to have someone for once tell me that his teeth are great and not to worry.
Dad thinks my pictures will upload without prob. on his computer, so we are testing it out. If so, you should be able to see the big picture by clicking on the ones posted.

BTW- the extra child is my niece Imogen and my new favorite pastime is to snuggle with her ;)
It is so much nicer when the pictures can be blown up!
Glad to see you got the picture "problem" fixed. Agree with Ian; love to see the details, especially of the face painting.
Doing great!
