Braces!!!

I don't know how William is old enough for braces... but today he went to the orthodontist and had braces put on his sweet smile. He was a trooper. He has my small mouth, so it has to be stretched out really good in order for the Dr.'s to work in there. This braces work is not even for teeth straightening, it's for mouth expanding! Just like me, his mouth is not big enough for all his incoming teeth, so they are creating room. He is such a good sport and has been very mature about the whole thing. Both of the orthodontist's at the office he is going to are awesome. Dr. White & Dr. Grube.
He is getting an early start on his mouth, so hopefully it turns out to be a good thing for him. I started teeth work in 5th grade, William is starting in 3rd! Crazy.
I see lots of blenders in our future!

Zachary's smile

Zachary lost another front tooth last night while eating dinner. Bit into his turkey burger and out it came! He has 3 missing teeth up front and a really toothless grin at the moment! :) He is a good sport though... not one complaining word. And I can already see both of his big front teeth starting to poke through. My little Zachary is growing up.

Leila's first pedicure

Leila let me paint her cute little toe nails for the first time a week or so ago. Ever since, she likes to wiggle her cute little feet and point to her toes and say "Leila's toes,  Mommy's toes"! She smiles her big cute smile and it melts my heart.

She also now fits into a beautiful homemade sweater that Erin Robb knitted? for her. She looks so beautiful in it and it completes her Sunday dresses perfectly!
