Catherine got her stage 1 braces, yesterday. She has four on her upper front teeth. They are metallic blue and metallic purple (i.e. blue, purple, blue, purple). She actually looks kind of cute with her colorful mouth.

Thank you God for giving us an excellent insurance plan and orthodontist. Without the former, we couldn’t afford the braces. Without the latter, our daughter probably wouldn’t be as accepting of the palate expander and the braces.

Her brothers and sisters all want braces, too.
