Kaley lost her first tooth

For a couple of weeks, Kaley has been commenting that she had a loose tooth, It was usually in "play". Then, last week, we noticed that Kaley's bottom tooth DID look like it was moving. I asked her if she fell at school. "No" was her answer. She then said she was excited about the tooth fairy coming. I had a feeling that this "loose" tooth was something that she was forcing so that the tooth fairy would come. I told her that the tooth fairy couldn't come yet, because Kaley wasn't on the tooth fairy's list because she was a bit young to loose a tooth. The next day, I happened to glance in her mouth and noticed that her gum was swollen and it looked like something "white" was popping through. Well, things progressed quickly and Thursday, we made a quick trip to Joanne's for fabric for Kaley's tooth fairy pillow. Friday, the tooth was a' hanging and I was a' sewing. Kaley did not eat much Friday or Saturday and finally today, she was munching salad and.....the tooth popped out. For the next couple of hours, Kaley kept the tooth in place, but wouldn't talk. Finally, she was coughing and the tooth was out for good. She spit it out and placed in my hand and...smiled:)

Halloween 07

Here are some photos of the girls at Halloween. Ainsley was Pipi and Kaley was a mermaid. We had dinner with the Skows, Wakefields, Jellinghaus' and Davis' at our house first, then we all hit the street. We missed the Rapelas as they were out of town. We look forward to next Halloween with them and also Baby W (akefield) will be here for the holiday and festivities.

Jumping in Leaves

At dinner tonight, we were talking about all the things we did today- here's a run down of Saturday:

Ice Skating w/Skows

Playing at Civic Park

Grocery store

Lunch

Ballet dancing

Visit from Melody

Mary Claire came over

Sydney and Jordie also came over

When Mary Claire, Syd and Jordie were here, they had a tea party w/oranges and wheat thins, played fairies and jumped in the leaves.

Ice Skating

Today, Saturday, we took the girls ice skating with The Skows. The Gillettes, De Credicos and Erik and Roxy were there as well. Ainsley had a good time and was really comfortable on the ice. After about an hour of skating with Michael, she decided to branch out on her own. Kaley was quite content watching from the side.....she said maybe she'll try later.

Hard drive is replaced- Tree Lighting Ceremony

Well, I haven't been sooo good about putting our photos up (once again). Big bummer, too, being as our hard drive crashed and we lost all of our photos. Thank goodness we have the blog as some are captured there. Our friend, Erik, explained that there are two types of people in the world- Those who back up....and....Those who will. I guess after our little experience, we fall into the later category.



Anyway, we met our Tuffo relatives(Uncle Tony, Aunt Jane, Michelle, Mark, Kelly and Kai) at the annual Macys Tree Lighting Cermony yesterday. The Jersey Boys performed, as did the SF Boys Choir. The ceremony opened with a large Christmas present on stage. Out of the present popped a Cirque du Soleil performer from Kooza. We had a really nice spot next to the tree- It was nice to share it with the Tuffos!

Photo of the bubble bath girls has been published

The Eugene Register Guard features photos of kids every Monday. Nana submitted this photo of the girls in her bathtub and much to her delight when she opened the paper this morning, there were The Worthley girls smiling at her from THE FRONT PAGE.

Poppi and Nana came for a visit

Poppi and Nana came to visit. While here, they had lunch with Ainsley, watched Ainsley play soccer and joined us at Todos Santos park to listen to the California Symphony....and celebrated Poppi's birthday. Kaley is getting good at pouting when she doesn't get her way...here is was Poppi and Nana leaving, she did not want them to go.

California Symphony

Family photo from the California Symphony. Good thing Kaley needed a photo for school...it is nice to have a family photo of us.

Reading Rainbow Contest

Ainsley recieved a Certificate of Achievment from Reading Rainbow for her entry to the 2006 Young Writers and Illustrators Contest. She was most excited that it was signed by LeVar Burton. Good Job Ainsley!

Home from school

One minute, the Worthley girls are playing tea party in Ainsley's room...the next, they are practicing for WWF :)

Kaley's first day of school

And off Miss Kaley went to school....
She was a bit aprehensive at first...she was familiar with the classroom and the teachers, but all but three of the faces were new. This year, Kaley is in the morning class. She, along with Naomi, Nick and Anthony, moved from afternoon to morning. It is a bit adjustment for all of us. She loves school and her teachers. Civic Arts is such a great school!!!

The Skow and Worthley girls

Sydney and Jordie came over to play in the pool. The girls enjoyed eating otter pops while relaxing in the pool.

Green Goblins and daddy

Ainlsey is on an AYSO league through PH/Martinez. She has two really patient and positive coaches, Coach Marla and Coach Steve. Daddy gets Daddy of the Year Award for volunteering to be a referee. Yellow is quite his color! We are proud of Michael and Ainlsey.

Ainsley's First Day of School

And...off Miss Ainsley went to first grade. We had such a fun, full and exciting summer, it was hard to see her go, but she is soooo happy to be back in school.

Coronado Island

We spent the first day of our San Diego trip at Coronado Island. The girls enjoyed the beach so much that they "lived" in the sand. Ainsley managed to find her initials written on a sidewalk in cement.
We are pretty sure that Kaley is going to end up going to USD.
The Beach bums.
