After spending many an afternoon in the waiting room at the orthodontists (while older sisters were being seen), Emily now has her own appointment. She had braces put on last week (the day after her 6th Grade Honor's Band performance) and has struggled this week to eat, chew and adjust her new flute embouchure (lots of pudding, jello, soup and flute practice). She is trying to "keep her eye on the prize" - beautiful teeth! Currently the bands are pink and green - she has already planned the colors for several months in advance - perhaps the only fun thing about braces.
ANOTHER snow day - in addition to sledding and getting together with friends, Emily had fun sewing and stuffing a pillow. she isn't too fond of pinning - but did a nice job! The pillow itself is actually even and well proportioned (that one corner doesn't really sag) - my photography doesn't do it justice.
