New Dentist
So this moring we went for a regular check up for Andre' at a new dentist and it went great.
The dentist that he was previously seeing was great, but they didn't accept my insurance. Now when we first started going there, it was only $40 for a cleaning. That was less than 2 years ago. Now the price for a cleaning has gone up to $125. I just don't have that kind of money to be shelling out, just to look at a 2 and a half year olds set of teeth.
I had to wait until he had his tonsils out, and everything was all healed up before I scheduled another appointment anyway, so I started looking around.
I found one that is right around the corner from where I work and is in the same building that I used to go to the dentist in a few years ago.
It's a really clean place, and the people seemed nice. I'll admit, I was a little nervous, but this morning my mind was put at ease.
We were the only ones there when we arrived and went right back. The dental assistant was very nice and Andre' got a green toothbrush (which is his favorite color) so she scored points right off the bat. He was shy/standoffish at first like always, but then warmed up a little to her.
She told me that it is their goal to make the kids feel as at ease at possible, and not to put too much pressure on them. There are TV's in the rooms, so we put on a cartoon, and just became familiar with the place. She came back in and we talked a bit, of course he brought his dinosaurs in, so we checked their teeth with the mirror and even brushed them.
The dentist then came in and he was very nice as well. Andre' got scared when Dr. Comeaux put the gloves on, cause he thought it was going to hurt. But all he did was look in his mouth, check top, bottom, front and back, and said that every thing looked great, and there were no cavities.
GO US!! I am weird about teeth. I, myself have never had a cavity, and I will do whatever I can to make sure Andre' has healthy teeth. We are off to a good start, and will keep it up.
Picture post to come soon!!
till next time...........................

Frisbee
Who knew it was an actual game?
I am so glad that I have re-found a good friend. we used to hang out all the time together, and then life got in the way, so we drifted apart. She was, is, and always will be one of my best friends, and I am so happy that we have reconnected.
I was at her house practically all weekend, and we had an absolute blast. Cooked some good food, drank some cold beer, and played frisbee.
I'll definitely be looking forward to next weekend, and many more in the future. (Now if I can only get my kid to play nice with hers.)

PIcs
I wish for the life of me that I could figure out how to move pics around and label them how I want to. If anybody ever reads this and knows how, let me know please. Thanks.So the top 2 pics are from the wedding reception. Top is Will and TJ, next is Will and Steven.
Third pic is Andre' in his LSU had that Duke and Duchess gave him.
And the last 2 are from surgery day. Last one is before the surgery, and second to last is after the surgery on the way to the car.
Great Weekend
Really had an awesome weekend. Old friends, family, and great fun.
Friday night we layed low. Went to Walmart just to get out of the house, and to get some ingredients for my infamous dip, that I was making Sunday. Watched a movie late, called Streets of Blood. It was set in New Orleans after Katrina, Val Kilmer and 50 cent were cops, trying to get the city under control. Pretty intense, definitely not a kids movie.
Saturday was a wedding for one of my brother's old friends. My brother and his friend Steven were groomsman. I was so proud so see my little guys all grown up into big men. I can't believe that everybody is all grown up. It seems like just yesterday we were all kids running the streets of the old 'hood. I had a blast, and it was great being able to spend time with old friends.
Sunday my Dad came in town and we got together and my Granny's house. Andre' ate too much chocolate, and we had Popeye's. Then a slice of cheesecake that was TOO BIG, but TOO GOOD to pass up.
My brother means the world to me and I am so grateful that we got to spend so much time together this weekend. Love you Parrain Yams.
Then we napped late when we got home, and here we are back to Monday.
Here's to hoping this week goes by fast, so we can have another great weekend
