From The Past: December 22, 2003

Andrew had his last orthodontist appointment of the year this morning. Unfortunately, we’ll have to go back in three weeks. This is my fourth year of traveling out of town once every three weeks and Andrew’s fourth year without gum, gummy bears, caramel, peanuts, popcorn, etc. I will be so glad when he gets his braces removed and I know that he will be also. I can’t imagine what it will feel like for him to be able to run his tongue over his teeth. To not have to worry about metal poking your gums – I’m sure that will be a relief too. I’ve never had orthodontic work so I have no idea what it must feel like. From what I have seen, I am very grateful for the teeth that I was given. I can only pray that Ashley’s teeth come in straight!
