BeAuTiFuL BRACE fAcE ANNA

FINALLY!!!!!

Anna has been begging for her braces for the last year

first we needed to wait for her mouth to adjust on its own

then MOM just kept spacing on getting Dr. Bart called for an appointment

Well, here they are - Anna's getting very good at making smoothies

Thank goodness Dr. Bart gave her a gift card for Jamba Juice

It's amazing how braces make a beautiful girl even more beautiful

(I remember when Morgan got them - wow too)

of course, Anna chose hOt PiNk and pUrPLe elastics

I think she's matching her hair flowers to her bands as much as possible

SMILE and PEACE

CrAzY mOnKey MEG WONDERFUL Summer of 2009

Morgan had the time of her life this summer

However, she did mention to Dr. Ferre that this hasn't been the kind of summer she'd expected and even hoped for. It seems she didn't do that much.

Here's a brief run down of MoRgAN's summer NoT in PiCtUreS ...

SUMMER 2009 a quick wrap up

so what have we been up to all this time???

so far we've made it fishing one time

we did a Saturday, day trip to Trial Lake

the view was beautiful - so much so the camera only gave us sillhouettes of the people

BaCk-To-sChOoL MORGAN

MORGAN's NEW DO

Auntie Iva

Iva and Ballerina came and spent the afternoon with us. Iva was very pregnant - I think she was exhausted watching Alec ride his bike and run as fast as he could. It's really nice to spend time with them

Look at this beautiful baby Odessa

Iva had Lindon (grandpa) call to have me come to the hospital for the baby to be born

unfortunately, my cell phone turns off at 11:30 pm and he called at 11:45 so I didn't hear til morning. All went well and she had a quick delivery. Thank goodness there was not a problem with a spinal bleed this time! Here she is brand new the next morning.

Cute Family!!! Iva, Riso, Ballerina / Michelle and new baby Odessa

Riso was so happy he couldn't stop smiling! He was almost giggly

Ballerina is a pretty happy big sister too. She has enjoyed helping take care of little sister

Anna desperately wants Iva to let us have the baby for a day or two - hasn't happened yet and school begins next week.

Cute girls!
