Yesterday was a happy day for Bunk. He has been waiting to have his braces removed for the last few years. We have never understood why they were on so long. There was some negligence on our part in not making the next appointment right after an appointment and letting six months go by without an appointment. And then there was difficulty in getting appointments in a timely manner. But I don't really think that accounts for seven years! He was supposed to go to Camp Winfield on Sunday for a counselor's meeting for camp which starts next week. He called the director and told him how he could not miss this orthodontist appointment. He will be working at this camp until July 21st so he was not going to put off having the braces removed for that long. We were on our way home from Florida last night and he was on his way to camp. He met us at a gas station by the interstate so that we could see his teeth. I was very relieved that there weren't black holes where the braces had been attached!
He looks very different to me. Of course he's adorable though! Very grown up, with a fuller face now. Congratulations David- go chew all the gum and candy you can get your hands on!
They look wonderful, David. Like pearls. No gum and candy though. I know you know your aunt was just teasing about that. Only celery, carrots, apples, and an occasional banana. This will be all the sweets a lovely man like you will require. Enjoy your summer.
Looks good, David! Can't wait to see your teeth in person next month. You will be there, right?
How exciting. You and your teeth look great. Seven years is a long time for anything; even for something very fun, much less to have your braces on. Have a great time at camp and I hope you make it to the Smoky mountains next month. The day you return is the day we check into our cabins in the hills. Who will protect your mother from the enemy flying things, if not you? Does Patrick have good command of a swatter? Aaron, Julia, and Michael call me to "get it." I do hope you can come with us.
CONGRATULATIONS David!!!!!! I didn't realize you had your braces for seven years. I guess I got used to seeing them.
Sue,
7 years - I can't believe it!!!!! That poor adorable young man - I think it's a clear case of child abuse!!!! :0)
