A new smile :)

Hey, do you notice anything different...?

Here she is... just before 2 pm today...

And here's a close-up, less than an hour later! Look at that! Braces are so fancy these days - she got to pick two colors (Go Bears!). She's back for a check-up in 6 weeks and - get a load of this - she can get a "new wire" and "new colors" if she wanted. I just stared at the tech like she was crazy. I mean, I know I had braces almost 30 years ago and things had changed, but... REALLY?!

Marika has braces envy. Just this morning, she mournfully said to me, "Mika's SO LUCKY she gets to wear braces..."

REALLY?!

(But I suppose if my big sister came home with an iPod Touch, I might think like her!).

Okay, they've had the iPod Touch for about a week and it's still in one piece. However, they've discovered how to take pictures and videos and are having WAY too much fun with those functions... one of these days I'm going to find a video of myself on youtube doing something really embarrassing... please warn me if you do! :)
