Brace Face

no more.  I was more than a little concerned that it worked out for Emily to get braces in Peru.  My kids take forever to get their 12 year molars.  Like 14 years.  Emily was in the 8th grade before the dentist said she was ready for braces.  By then we knew we were moving to WA so we decided to wait.  When we moved to WA we knew we would be leaving again.  Besides, what an awesome idea to get orthodontics in a foreign country!  We loved the orthodontist here though.  Emily never had to miss school for an appointment in 18 months.  (Maybe she did not like that.) His office ran efficiently, never did she have to wait to be seen.  The office was five minutes from our house, one time she walked there.  The orthodontist went to school in Miami and spoke perfect English so my concerns were lessened immediately.  Looking back I am not sure why I was ever worried.

This was Emily on Tuesday night.


And here she is after.


The day ended with her best friend leaving Peru permanently, which had nothing to do with her not having braces, but it was an emotional day:(


It will be really sad to not have Dallas and Nicole in Seminary each day.  There are also three people not shown on the side of this picture probably looking forward to sitting farther away from me and to finally be in the early morning photos.


We're going to miss this.
