Surgery is required

Well, my tooth is officially jacked up! Darwin will perform some backyard dentistry later on tonight in Kalalayi. Because the tooth is on the top, Darwin thinks he of I need to stand on our heads.

Darwin, do what you do best. Put him under and pull it! Don't you remember the movie "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer"? Until the elf stepped in to pull the Abominable Snowman's tooth, he just got grumpier and grumpier and scared everybody! . . . or not. Praying whatever you chose, it goes well. Your in good hands, Doug.

I love reading all of your updates! Please let Yessi know it's been raining and icky but we had two beautiful hours from 1030-1230 this morning and soccer went perfectly well!

Not sure this procedure is Dr. Rauschenbach approved, but get relief however you can. I am praying for you all and for all the adventures it appears you're encountering! Also praying the tooth fairy leaves you huge amounts for a 40 year old tooth.

Tell Jessi I was a little nervous this morning. It was 10:30 and there was 1 kid there not from the Hillcrest. However, the morning was gorgeous, and at 10:35 ish they all started showing up! And there ended up being about 18 3rd grade on up kids there. And about 18 kids 2 grade and younger. The kids seemed to enjoy it.

Oh, Darwin and Doug thought of you guys as I took my morning dump on my nice bug free toilet this morning. :-)

Should I make the dentist appt. now so Dr. R is ready for you as soon as you get back? I'll let him know he has to fix your cracked tooth and undo the Dr. Frankenstein job you're going to receive? No offense Darwin. Love the visual of Doug being the grumpy abominable snowman and Darwin being Hermey, the elf who dreams of being a dentist. :)
