Funny Fats

Fatima ended up getting one filling yesterday and a couple of sealants.  She came out smiling and was fine afterwards.  I was able to take her to VBS to join Rebekah and finish out the day.  We went to a pizza place afterwards and she won a gaudy pair of earrings in the prize machine. (you know, in the arcade)  The rest of the afternoon was spent resting and then going to an orthodontist appointment with Grace.  She learned how to finger weave (from Grace) and this kept her busy during our wait at the doctor's.

Fatima's VBS Group

Today we started out at VBS, but at 10:30 we had an engagement at Sweet Pete's.  This was a Solace event so many of the Afghan kids were there.  It was a Taffy Pull!  They learned the process of making taffy, interpreted through AJ, and then they got to pull and package their own bit of taffy.  It was yummy!  I checked in and friended Sweet Pete's on Facebook and got a free sack of Sea Salt Caramels that were delicious!!!  Sweet Pete's is a cute place located in historic Springfield on Pearl St. near 8th.  I highly recommended checking it out!

Tonight we were going to go out to eat but we had a flat tire!  So we ate hot dogs and baked beans which the kids loved.  Now the girls are doing exercises to help them to be able to do better splits!  lol!  What will they think of next???  Fatima just goes along with whatever they do...or tell her to do!

Fatima's next dental visit is on Friday and this will be a biggie.  They are going to try to crown a tooth that is very decayed, but worth saving because of where it is located.  I love Dr. Rick Mullens for thinking of her aesthetics!  Fatima is going to go home with an even more beautiful smile when this is all over with!

Thank you for reading and please continue to pray for our sweet Fatima!
