Tomorrow I have a orthodontist appointment to see if I need braces! Apparently my 2 top teeth (incisors I think?) are stuck because my teeth are so crooked there's no room for them to come down! If they don't come down soon they could permanently be stuck up there, so I'm hoping I can get whatever I need done as soon as possible. (The sooner I get braces, the sooner I can get them off :) So I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
As for that I hope everybody is enjoying beautiful fall weather!


Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the
Lord, for he comes,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
~Psalm 96:11-13
Aliya got her braces off yesterday!!
Here's the before picture:

And after!

After that Maggie came over and made cookies with us, and laughed with us...a lot!




these are pictures that we took when Camille spent the night a couple days ago. (Camille and Elle are gonna kill me for putting these on :)
