This year it feels like we have been plagued with illness. Must be the third or fourth time the children have been sick in the past 6 months. Fortunately it has been nothing serious, but it sure isn’t any fun!
Right now both the boys are sick. JA started coughing last week, and he is still [...]

Invisalign
December 2, 2009 – 05:23

These are small plastic trays, which look very similar to custom teeth whitening trays, except instead of lightening they slowly move my teeth over time to make them straighter like braces. Every two weeks I get a new set, and in theroy in about a [...]

Shocking I know…
November 30, 2009 – 21:45
