Two dentists came to the foster home for the afternoon. They evaluated all of the children and did basic cleanings. For the most part, the kids did well, but predictably a few of them thought we'd invented some new form of torture. Thankfully we had mostly clean bills of health!

Waiting for a turn.
Jeremy, Luke, and Olivia
Such good and patient children!
This time of year, there are lots of worms crawling on the ground. The kids enjoy looking for them, and they look so cute when they focus so intently.
