Natalee's New Smile

     Yesterday Natalee had an orthodontist appointment.  It was just a regular check up so I was very surprised when they walked out and said her teeth were in the right spots and they could remove her braces.  We were originally told 6-18 months and it's been almost exactly 6 months since she first got them.  She is hoping to celebrate tomorrow night with a movie and popcorn and some mint chocolate chip gum!

From this morning
   I am very glad that Natalee is getting good use out of her new camera.  I knew she had taken some pictures of herself without her braces, but when I went to pick some for the blog I found no less than FORTY pictures of herself that she took last night.  Then there were 7 more that she took this morning.  Daren just mentioned that it's a good thing it's a digital camera and we don't have to develope all of these pictures. :)  But she's such a pretty girl that every one of them is a treasure.
