Day 4:

As you see, there are only two pics from today. I thought about sneaking some others in from other days…It’s not like our days are really all that different, but there was definitely a reason I only took two.

I woke up to see this beautiful, thick fog in our backyard. By the time I had Holden situated in his high chair, coffee started, and daddy downstairs, the fog had lifted a bit. Not so much that it impaired my shot too much. I really love our view.

So, later that morning Josh and I both had dentist appointments. Call this trivial. Call it privilege middle class woes…but I was pretty annoyed, disheartened, jaded, etc. My 2012 New Years Resolution was to floss every single night, and I have done it all but maybe 2x (which was because we ran out of floss). The hygienist was basically singing my praises to the moon and back, when the dentist rolls in, pokes briefly at my teeth, asks about my childhood fillings and promptly tells me I need 2 fillings replaced, 3 small cavities filled, oh and I clench my teeth apparently. $400 mouth guard for me. Then she annoyingly pats me on the shoulder and says, “No root canals!”

No wonder people hate the dentist. I’m still happily flossing but I think I’ll get a second opinion or just make my own opinion.

Quite a blog post for two beautiful nature photos!
