Back in April, Jocelyn had an appointment with a pediatric dentist to have 6 baby teeth pulled, 3 per visit, to allow enough room for her permanent teeth to move down into place. Even with the 'sleepy water' (novocaine) and 'happy air' (strawberry scented nitrous oxide), Jocelyn was not able to relax when the dentist began to push on her teeth to loosen them up. So, we had to make an appointment with the oral surgeon to have all 6 pulled at one visit, under sedation. She was a trooper getting the IV in, with just a little panic episode. She calmed right down as soon as the medication entered her system. Once she was under, I was sent to the waiting room while her 6 baby teeth were pulled. You can see her new gap-toothed grin in the previous entry. We have an appointment with the orthodontist on Thursday, to see when he would like to start her braces.
Brianne is now in her second round of braces (the first round when started when she was in 3rd grade, to make room for her permanent teeth.) It would have been nice if the girls could have received their fathers' genes when it comes to their teeth, but NOOOOOO, they had to get mine!

Cam and the girls went to the Butte County Fair last weekend while I was slaving away under my headset. This is what happens when you wear flip flops to the fair...
So much for Briann's Prom pedicure!
Her right foot has already been wiped with baby wipes, to show you just how dirty her left foot is. Cam took some pictures of Jocelyn and Claire riding the ponies, so as soon as I get those, I will add them here.
