See ya later, Brace-Face!

Didn't it seem like just yesterday we packaged up the bubble gum and sour skittles? Well, Emma has a brand new smile! Her braces and expander are history (for the next few years anyway). She is looking forward to chowing down on some popcorn, starburst, and real bubble gum! Oh yeah, and saying the word "green" without an impediment. That expander could make a very intelligent person sound a bit challenged, if you know what I mean :)

Oh, I remember the day well when I had my braces removed! It was so nice to be able to eat corn on the cob, apples and laffy taffy! She is a beauty!

You have such beautiful kids! She must be so excited, I remember being so excited to eat an apple--not having to cut it in pieces.

She is adorable,Kim!!! We have one out of braces and one with them on...one thing I remember about getting my braces off was the smoothness of my teeth...it felt so good!!! I remember thinking...yes,now I won't get my shirt sleeve caught on them anymore! (That happened to me at school one day--the teacher had to disconnect the 2)
