Rachel has B R A C E S.

The biggest news for us recently is that Rachel got braces!  We knew the day would come and hard to believe it's already here and gone.

Her biggest issue is her over-bite.  Excited to see the results after she has her braces on for awhile.

There are foods you're told to stay away from, so the couple days before her appointment we went out to eat a lot and she filled up.  We also heard many people say she will be pretty sore and not want to eat the day or two after.  More excuses to eat out and eat a lot!


[Here she is eating some favorites before getting her braces on.]


[I think they said the top teeth should only overlap the bottom teeth 10 or 20%.  I'd call this 100% overlap.  Yikes.]


[before]


[I watched most of the time... to me she looked a little nervous here.  She said she wasn't.]


[glad I asked if I could take a picture of this... it's a keeper for sure!]


[I love how she looks with braces... can't stop looking at her.  Can't decide if they make her look older or younger.  My initial thought was older.]


[She had a basketball game the day she got her braces.  Thankfully, no blows to the mouth... yet.]

So far she hasn't had much pain or discomfort.  No complaining at all and she's been able to eat like normal... they haven't hurt so much she didn't want to eat.  She's been very lucky!


[we finally have snow to play in!]


[The Olympics... bringing families together.  Love.]


[I love you, too... Kate.]

Keep smiling!
