Beautiful family Judy! Remind me not to stand next to you in the group photos!
You know, your husband looks just like a otorhinolaryngologist.
(OK, I'll admit it, I just wanted to bust out that word again.)

The six year molars they get are permanent teeth, so are the 12 year molars. All the other teeth they get as babies come out and are replaced by permanent teeth. The ages when babies get teeth, and later lose them, vary widely -- my three girls have been on completely different schedules for getting and losing teeth. My 14 year old still has one molar (the 2 year old type) to lose, which is definitely on the late side, but nothing to worry about.
Okay...my .02 cents' worth on the whole Orthodontist/braces thing.
Our dentist suggested starting my oldest with braces when she was about 12. She ended up having to wear her braces nearly two years longer than anticipated due to what we thought was the lack of maturity to take care of them properly. In other words, she broke them often, usually did not wear her rubber bands, etc.
When the dentist told us the same thing with DD#2 at that age, we said "Thanks, but no thanks". We waited until she was 15.....and she took the responsibility seriously and got them off with great results, on time.
We're now waiting until at least this coming summer, when DS turns 14, to start his.
All of my kids got their teeth late, lost their baby teeth late (in fact, DS just lost a tooth on Thursday!) and got their adult teeth late.
I do know that the orthodontist said that they like to start when kids are losing some of their teeth, because it gives them the opportunity to move the teeth around more easily in the mouth, and to anticipate future problems. But.....kids continue to grow past the age of 14 or so, and as we have seen with oldest daughter's dental work, her teeth moved enough after braces, that she could almost have the work done over again. I always advise people to wait as long as they possibly can, unless the child has severe dental problems...in other words, it's not just for cosmetic reasons.
Did I bore you all?? Sorry!
I got no picture to post....
We're sailing 4/1. Looks like I need to stand in line for a picture so I can add it to my siggie. I really hate standing in line.
The ONLY WAY I'm going to get my DH to do a vow renewal is through stealth - hence we now have the "Stealth Vow Renewal Ceremony"!
Okay so she has 3 more molars to lose, I think... if I'm reading this right?
did you not like the spoiler ??
So we get this FRANTIC phone call from our old neighbors across the street on Sunday. "There are people in your house!" huh? We (finally) got an offer on our house, made a counter offer and struck a deal! It's been on the market since late November. I shouldn't complain, other houses in our old neighborhood were on the market long before ours...and still are! Closing is slated for Feb 28.
Anyway, the problem is that now that the house is under contract, NOBODY should be in there!! There shouldn't be any open houses and certainly no other real estate agents should be using the lockbox to get in! ***?!?! We had a $200 gas/electric bill for an EMPTY HOUSE last in December because somedecided to turn the thermostat up to 80 degrees!!!!!!
So now I'm thinking "great, we got squatters or something" (it's happened to my dad). Call our realtor and she's not answering her cell phone Finally get ahold of her assistant and she knows NOTHING about anything.... Meanwhile, our DFriend and neighbor--who is a one-woman Neighborhood Watch--is all set to call a SWAT team on these people!
Today I get a call from both the office manager at the real estate office and our relocation officer...
THEY CLOSED ON THE HOUSE EARLY!!!!!
Evidently the buyers and their bank were ready to go early and contacted Relocation and our realtor. But "early" was Feb 20...but since all the title reports were done and everything was clear, they decided to proceed even earlier (the moment the offer was accepted, Relocation "bought" the house from us) because there was no reason to wait! So what happened was our agent got a call from their agent wanting the keys to the house! Our agent didn't realize that the deal was done until they verified with the title company that yep, transaction is complete, title deed reissued and funding was done in 24 hours...it's a done deal!!!!!
