Supernumary Tooth

Or, as we like to refer to it...Jack's lucky tooth.
Yup, for you dental know-it-alls--Jack has an extra baby tooth. Frankly, I never imagined that me + Jeff= shark teeth.

Don't worry. I'll get a picture. In a couple of weeks it should have moved his two front teeth clear to the left so that he just has one giant tooth right smack dab in the middle. I can kiss that cover of Parents magazine goodbye.

Oh, the curse of the English heritage.

Biggest Loser

After struggling extensively for over two years to fight the bulge, Bruce finds success in eating less and exercising more...

Before: 16.8 lbs.
After: 15.3 lbs.
Tips that worked for him:

* Switched to "clean food" diet (specifically Science Diet W/D)
* Tried to chase Ernst under the bed at least 4 times in the middle of the night (for 6 months)

Quote: "I knew I had a problem when I couldn't even jump over the kid gate to get away from the children. It was a real eye-opener. I was fat and incredibly lazy. I was afraid that I might get stuck under the bed or something. One day I just decided that I was going to start chasing Ernie around and make his life a living hell--boy, I sure started to feel better after all that exercise. I wanted to be healthy...so I just ate my 1/2 cup of chow and took a nap during the day. It was so easy. If I can do it--anyone can."
