Before, After, and Thank You

Today was the day!! Nathan got his braces off! This is the last photo of him with his tinsel, railroad tracks, mouth metal! I've grown attached to his braces in an odd sort of way. I'll miss them. He won't!

Here's the AFTER!!! Check out those awesome teeth!

Nathan earned points with Dr. Werner (little plug - check out the shirt!) for the fifteen months he wore his braces. He got points for wearing his shirt, keeping his teeth clean, cooperation, etc. He could have taken a gift card to any number of stores in the area. Instead, he chose to take the Starbucks card - and treated his dad to a drink! He told Chris that since he paid for the braces - he would buy him a drink. Such a good, good boy.

He's officially metal free. And lovin' every minute of it!

I Heart Faces * contemplative

Contemplative: [according to IHeartFaces] thoughtful observation; full or deep consideration; dreamily or wistfully thoughtful: a pensive mood; expressing or revealing thoughtfulness; quiet modes of apparent or real thought; can be marked by some sadness, but doesn't have to be.

This is Levi. He was three months old in this photo...and when I read the definition this week - I knew it was the perfect fit.

wrap it up with a little trampoline. I think fun was had by all!

Can't even handle it!

So, I've been drooling over the idea of canvas gallery wraps for a few months.
I've been frozen with indecision - I have so many images I'd like to use.
Now I see that Tidy Mom (see button on right) has a give-away sponsored by CanvasOnDemand.com!!

If I won - I might use this one of Bay and her baby blues.

I've always loved this one though...

Oh and look at sweet little Isa!

This is one that will always be one of my top 10. Maybe this one...I guess if I win - I'll let you know what I decide!
