Hockey Season has officially begun. Markus started on Monday in the learn to play hockey program and loved it and Max had his first official team practice tonight. He is on the Bulldogs team and has some really good little skaters on his team.
All 3 coaches were really working them hard and all the boys were covered in sweat when they came off the ice.
Max is always trying his hardest and listening to what the coaches are saying. He wasn't feeling very well tonight even but he still did really great. He had an abscessed tooth extracted just a few hours before his practice. He had a small cavity last time he went to the dentist, but they didn't fill it, because it was a loose tooth and the dentist just thought it would fall out before anything would happen. Well, it didn't and it was totally infected. I took him in last week and they put him on antibiotics for a week to take the swelling down before they could remove it. Poor little guy, he was very brave when they kept giving him more Novocaine to deaden it. The dentist said that it was a really bad infection and he could see it all come out after he pulled the tooth. So gross! He had to have two teeth pulled before at the same dentist, when he was 5. He fell and hit a rock when we were hiking around Silver Lake. He hit his two front teeth and they were jammed up inside his gums. So they had to remove them and I have never heard anyone scream so loudly as when they gave him the shot in the roof of his mouth. He didn't get his permanent teeth in for two 1/2 years. He was excited that he was the first one in kindergarten to have his name on the "lost a tooth" poster! 
He made this shot and "took it upstairs". 
Morgen made "Quiche Loraine" for dinner tonight. He gets extra credit in his french class for making things out of the french cookbook. Last year he made crepes. The quiche turned out pretty good, a little too many onions maybe but still pretty tasty. : }
