Loading ...And they’re off!
After three years of bands, brackets and blisters , Hannah got her braces off today.
And she’s never had a cavity!
Rachel started our family’s Sojourn to Straightness on December 20, 2003.
In April, 2004, Rachel chose “Fiesta Colors” for her bands. Talk about a party in your mouth!
We had two in braces at once with Rachel and Lois, then later with Lois and Hannah. Because we could see this coming, we joined a DMO when we moved here. Belonging to a DMO means you don’t have to cruise as many dimly-lit convenience stores to fund those grins.
I had two “Full Metal Daughters” in February, 2005.
So today marks the end of seven years and four months of making the orthodontist’s office our second home.
Three kids in braces spread over seven years plus Rachel’s 17 broken brackets necessitating an extra year of treatment – I estimate we’ve parked here about 150 times since December 20, 2004.
I’d like to say we’re finished but…..
I suspect we’ll be back in two or three years.
So – what the heck – we might as well smile!

All of your girls have the most beautiful smiles – with or without braces – and it’s always fun to see them. Love to all – Sue
Woo Hoo! Congrats to Hannah and mom and dad… a 3 year break will be nice.
They all have winning and beautiful smiles – you should be very proud (and I know you are).

The years are worth the results. All have beautiful smiles! And I certainly relate to all the trips to the orthodontist’s office because we had one in braces for 7 years all by herself!!!! Yep, enjoy the time you have off before starting with Julia…….but she’ll have a beautiful smile too one day and it will all be worth it!!!
Yea Hannah! Congratulations!!! It is always an exciting day when your braces come off!
Their beautiful smiles are lit by the spirit within them….Still, for their sake as they look in the mirror, straight is nice.
Hannah: the teeth & smile look great! (I know and & Rachel won’t want to hear this BUT these pictures also remind me that you look like sisters!)
CONGRATULATIONS, HANNAH! Well spent three years! Of course, you’ve always been beautiful … so the improvement is … ummmm … not that big!
Been there, done that with our two kids and ME during my 40′s.
Though a pain orally and financially, you’ll never regret it.

I have two comments actually….
1. The first picture of me stinks and I look stupid, thanks mom >:(
2. My mom told me to cheer when she cheered to show on the video we reached 100,000 miles. I forgot because I was in the back seat not paying attention. all of a sudden, I hear all this screaming and freak out. After a few seconds(to process whats happening) I scream.
p.s. so over all, not a very good blog
Okay, I accidentily leave the comment on the wrong blog. Of course this would happen to me
Well, the second comment, I thought that they were connected. The first one fits
