Braces

Here's our newly metallic Elizabeth. She only got the upper braces today. She'll be back in 8 weeks for the lower. Besides a headache, she's doing fine. After reviewing the "don't eat" list, she's a little sad that she won't be enjoying corn on the cob, caramels, or Fritos for a while. Right now she's taking a well deserved nap. Time to add a new tag for the blog: braces.

Loose Tooth

Colleen has a loose tooth! I've been slow to realize that, as my youngest child, she'll have all the last "firsts" of the family. *sniff*

Speaking of hats... Aunt Jeannie made these for Christmas

Colleen's turn

"Mom, why is my hair so large and can you shrink it for me please?"

I usually try to accommodate anything said with a please. So today I'll be blow drying Colleen's hair straight(ish).

In this picture Colleen's "joyous" hair is restrained by a hat I crocheted. I can't remember what she was looking at but this is one happy little girl.
