Orthodontics, and a Happy Birthday!

After two months of no orthodontic adjustments ....

I finally visited my new orthodontist office yesterday (we visited three Ortho's for consultations before choosing one).

Though I haven't looked forward to my mouth hurting again, there's a sense of relief with resuming orthodontic care after a move across the country. Yay!  :)

The orthodontist is thinking I'll be done with braces in December. Woohoo!

For now, I received another adjustment, plus something new- rubber bands.

Oh joy! Don't they look like fangs?!?!

{Antonin resumes his orthodontic care soon, too. He has approx. 18 more months left}

 

 Today is Richard's 42nd Birthday-- one day after my orthodontic adjustment.

Thus, I fixed a Chicken soup for dinner-  not necessarily Richard's favorite birthday food. 

I have the most understanding husband, though .... no complaints. 

Plus .... I think the Happy Birthday apple crisp and vanilla ice cream afterwards was worth it all!   :)

I'm so thankful for my sweet husband (of 16 1/2 yrs); God  knew who needed to balance and complement me in all areas of life.   :)

Happy, happy 42nd Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!

 

By the way ... notice the open back door? In Colorado, you can leave doors & windows open, without bugs coming in!! Flies make their way inside sometimes, but no bugs.   :)
