It Has Begun!

Our family has grown in size and in needs, as families do at some point. The needs are quickly becoming very apparent.



-Karissa needs glasses. (check)


-Karissa has three cavities to be filled (check on two)


-Victoria needs to get referrals from orthodontists for work to be done on her teeth (working on it)


-Victoria needs sealants (check)


All of these appointments have happened since we've been back from France, many of them last week during Spring Break. Needless to say, we didn't do too many exciting things over the break besides play with friends and go roller skating, since we were going to so many appointments. So the work of many years to correct all the imperfections on my children has begun. I still think they're cute, though!


Victoria took this picture of herself, not a bad shot, eh? Her teeth look way better in this picture than in person! Many of you saw this cute pic on facebook. Victoria wanting to wear glasses has definitely helped Karissa with her necessity of wearing them. I think glasses look good on both of them. Victoria still wears hers every day. I'm interested to see how long that will last!
Erik's still perfect!


Austin is too, though he's tired of all these appointments!!
