Brace Face!

Well, Faith finally has braces. She has been waiting and waiting forever to have her teeth lined in metal. Little did she know what braces would actually be like! Last Friday she went into the dentist to have a tooth removed so her teeth would line up better. Immediately following that appointment she crossed the hall to the orthodontist so he could put on her braces. The whole process took about 2 hours and $6500. Ouch!
She stayed home from school because she had bloody gauze hanging out her mouth. She was also in a lot of pain. Excedrin became her best friend over the weekend. In the end, she decided having braces wasn't all it was cracked up to be in her mind.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls!

Is there anything cuter than little girls in dance class? They are so sweet and full of innocence and joy. The giggles. The smiles. The energy. Watching my sweet Hope in dance just melts my heart. I adore her.

Blogging, Blogging all day Long!


I know that I have not been the best at blogging in this blog. I am working at it, though. Lately, I have been so inundated with full-time school work! I feel completely overwhelmed.
I actually do blog almost daily!
One of my classes actually requires me to blog. I like that. Blogging is a release for me. Go figure.... journaling as a release....
I also started a blog for my Dad. He is a gifted poet. I have been nagging him to get his poems published for years. But, he hasn't. Someday I will get his poems published for him. Until then they can be read on his blog that I run for him. It is also a slow process, because I am busy with life and school.
But, I do what I can.
Here are all my blogs to date. Some have nothing in them yet..... But, it'll happen... eventually. Check 'em out!!!





Sunday Morning

Ahhh.... I feel the spirit.
