Two new smiles headed up the hill

A four day weekend seems long when we've completely altered two of the smiles in this house during that time. 

Brian is going up the hill with a gap, and Wendy got her braces yesterday morning. She's adjusting. He's giddy that it only took the tooth fairy two nights to show up. It's been much longer for other teeth.

• Today is so rainy, gloomy and dark that going back to bed sounds like a good option
• or creating all day.
• I tallied up my total biking miles last night and I'm at 1059.63 - plus the 6 I biked this morning. That puts me 100 miles this side of Wyoming and still over a 1000 miles to go until I get to Oregon. I'll get there. Those darn 5K trainings totally botched my biking schedule last year.  *wink*
• yesterday we had chicken noodle soup for dinner. Today it's chili.  The newly in braces kid gets to plan the menu for the week
• We have no snow. Again. This winter blows. 
• oh hey - just checked the weather to see if we had any snow coming in the next 10 days and it says that today's rain is going to turn into 2.6 inches of snow! 
• Now I'm smiling
• A couple days ago I posted about a sale - today is the last day of that sale. Don't miss out! 
• Time for me to get it in gear.....

Happy Tuesday!

Awww... look at that toothless grin and that metal mouth. This photo sure captures a vivid memory of our kids as they are growing up. My daughter just had her braces on a week ago, and she's still into soft diet. So, how did the sale turn out?

Wendy looks cute in those braces and Brian is an adorable kid with gap teeth! They seem to have that special brother-sister relationship bond. I couldn’t identify the color of Wendy’s braces. Is it white or silver? As a kid, she could’ve chosen aquamarine or pink! Does she still have them until now?

:D Your children look very cute!!! I think all of us had gapped teeth when we were kids. :p Well, the gaps give room for permanent teeth to take place. So, how’s Brian now? My son currently has a gap between his two teeth, and we’re all just looking forward for his more attractive smile pretty soon. :’)

The two look beautiful with their ‘new’ smile! Allowing time for adjustment can be good for both of them, especially for Wendy. Having braces for the first time can be hard. Sometimes it becomes difficult to eat because of the braces, and oftentimes, you have to return to the dentist to have them adjusted. She may also encounter speech problems early on. It’s exciting to wait for Brian to have a complete set of permanent teeth and for Wendy to have perfectly aligned teeth in the future!

Even though Brian has now missing teeth and Wendy has her braces on, they still have such wonderful smiles! They look charming and adorable! If only we can turn the time forward, we could surely see that their smiles will look so much better.
