[tri-med] Re: Missing baby tooth

LOL! Bananas under the pillow--that creates a lovely image...mmm,

going down, I'm sure we'll have lunch out along with it :) .

Loren (wife to Kraig, mom to Keren Elyse, T18, five and learning new  
things daily...and teaching us even more (9/27/02), Clarissa Joanne,  
our almost 3-year-old Tigger who amazes me and drives me crazy  
(7/17/05) ), and Evelyn Ruth who's full of cheeky grins... (4/26/07)
