Teal to Orange

Today was ortho day, Lacey had her first set of wires changed on her braces. Each time you get to decide a new color. She chose orange. They look cool, but I just assumed we would do green for St. Patrick's Day. But.....what do I know?


Not Broken, Just Botoxed

Seth is resisting having his picture taken so I snuck one while at bowling. He has a fancy blue cast on his right arm in an attempt to stretch the wrist and not have it so bent. It's pre-cast position was making getting dressed difficult, his wrist has tightened so much that the palm was nearly laying on his forearm. Botox and casting is the least invasive option and other than the inconvenience of having a cast, it is pretty simple.
Three to four weeks of casting is what we are in for. Hopefully, we can keep it stretched better from this point forward and avoid needing to do this again for many years.

The Color of Money


Finally, Seth's room is done. I made his money valance, it is hung up with the black curtain rod and the black mini-blinds are up. It looks like it would make his room really dark and small looking, but I think it actually just "manned it up a bit". The room does not appear smaller in person, it looks nice. Most of all Seth is happy with it.
