Brace Face

July 20, 2010 · 14 comments

Last Thursday was a momentous occasion for a certain redhead in our house.  It was the day that two years worth of orthodontist visits culminated with the big event: braces.  Finally.

She’s lucky in that the doctor says she only needs to wear them for a year.

Her older sister, on the other hand, wasn’t as fortunate.  Tomorrow morning will mark the end of Torri’s two year stint as a metal mouth.  She’s counting down the minutes.

For just six days, they’ve had this in common.

It ends tomorrow.

But it was cute while it lasted…

They are both SO beautiful! I’m so glad you chose to have 4 because, seriously, you make some good-looking kids!

Also – I’ll pray for your bank account. I know how expensive braces can be. ;)

UhOh – Darcie and Jeff, you will have your hands full – those girls are beautiful and the boys will be knocking on your door very soon. I think you two should be very nervous. Yup, very nervous. ;-)

I was going to say nearly the EXACT thing as Terri T. Seriously, both girls are strikingly beautiful.

On a different note, I will now stop complaining about having one child in orthodontia…I cannot even imagine TWO at the same time!

Stinking cute! And stinking expensive, I’ll bet. I dread the day…

Again, stinking cute.

Wow, you have beautiful girls! And the braces don’t begin to detract from their beauty. They are lucky. I had mine for 6, yes 6, years!!!

gorgeous girls! Good job coordinating that – the bills don’t overlap much.

Both are brilliantly beautiful and I’m not talking about the shiny metal. :)

Love this post. As a former brace-face, I can completely feel the excitement they both must have been feeling!

Did I miss something… I thought Torri already had her braces off?
