Pumpkim Pie and braces???

Well they are two newest additions to our household. Ben got braces yesterday, top only. He will be getting the bottom ones in 8 weeks. Like his papa he just doesn't have enough room in his mouth for his permanent teeth. The goal is to widen his pallet. Then with a retainer to guide in the rest of his permanent teeth we will eliminate the need for secondary braces to straighten his teeth! He did very well. He told me this morning his front two teeth are sore, but other then that it hasn't been bad. No more astro pops for him! Right, Uncle Chris?


Oh yes, and as for the Pumpkin Pie, he is our new cat. My friend, Celeste, and I got a wild hair and went and got our children kittens yesterday. Celeste's lookes like this one other then the color. "Buddy" is black-darkbrown striped. Brianna and Noah agreed on Buddy right away including his name. Boy was I impressed!!! It took my three, Gideon didn't have much of an opinion, a bit longer. We finally settled on his name this morning. We do have to watch Gideon. He likes to pick him up but doesn't care how.

Now to fill you in on the rest of December... Ben and Emma had a piano recital on the 6th. They were wonderful!

Here is one of Christmas, a token picture of the mess! We had a great time and all the presents were perfect.
