Yes, I typed braces. Today Gabby had three braces placed on three of her top permanent teeth. These will help close the gap that she has. Next Monday we will go back so they can place another device that will sit on the roof of her mouth to help the cross bite that she has. That is when they will also place the wire to the three braces. She initially got very upset and nervous when they were ready to start the procedure but eventually calmed down and did a wonderful job. A new journey begins! Ten months is the prescribed amount of time then to retainers until she gets older and all her permanent teeth come in. She is really excited about all of this. We are doing our best to prepare her for the limitations in foods she will have and the soreness and possible pain she may experience. Our little girl is growing up!
A friend from church went on a missions trip and needed someone to dog sit for two weeks. We volunteered and are happily enjoying our time with a Jack Russell Terrier named Buddy. Buddy is 10 years old and enjoys sleeping and lying around. He has been a joy! Everyone has taken to Buddy and participated in caring for him. It will be very sad to see him leave but we are cheered by the fact that we will see him often.
Alex did not want to smile because he wanted to look just like Buddy, with his tongue out.

Gabby looks so grown up! Hope everything goes well for her on Monday. We'll be praying! Also, I meant to tell you we took A and E on Wednesday to see "Dr. Matt" in town that you recommended awhile back. Thanks! They did much better than we expected!
