braces are still on.....

Well after the first two weeks, I was super ready to rip those braces right out of my mouth. But I have kept them in and I am going strong. They are getting a little less painful, but they are very time consuming after I have eaten pretty much anything. I feel it necessary to brush and floss all day long. Lol , I think im going on three months and I will be getting some bands put on this February sometime, so that means pain will return from what I am told. Yikes, no fun not looking forward to that. but I will live im sure.

jathen colored "me" a picture

The other day when jathen was over, we got out the crayons and some paper... I had him sit down to color and Anna wanted to help him. So with Anna's help he started to color... as he scribbled Anna asked him what are you drawing?! What is that?! His reply, with a huge grin on his face as he pointed to the paper and said,  " ahh.. Yaya, which is me..Lydia" oh so cute...he was drawing me...so the scribbles in green and brown well if u cant see the resemblance: thats me! haha... Anna tried to help him write out my name and as you can see he only got the L and the Y .... I wrote his name at the top and Anna drew a little boy on the bottom.... it is a collaboration of art! Love it.

just a little something on my heart....
