24 June 2012


Our first photo is a flashback to February 28, 2010.  Sofi had just gotten her braces on.


This photo shows her on June 21, 2012, headed into the orthodontist's office.  This is her last photo wearing braces.

Ta Da!  Here is a photo of Sofi two hours later, showing her beautiful brace-free smile.  Her orthodontist gave her a big box of candy-- all the stuff she was supposed to avoid while her braces were on.  

Becky took Sofi, Abe, Helen and Gibson hiking on Friday.  

We hiked up to a popular viewpoint, its popularity shown by this madrone tree defaced with graffiti.  We're looking forward to lots of hikes this summer.  

We don't let our kids have sleepovers, but Sofi came close to one this weekend.  Two friends came over to hang out Friday night and came back again early Saturday morning.  Since the friends were here when Abe, Helen and Gibson went to bed Friday night and when they woke up Saturday morning, the kids thought the friends had slept over.  The girls made themselves a deluxe breakfast: scrambled eggs, crepes, blueberry/peach sauce and fresh fruit (including strawberries, raspberries and blueberries from our yard).

Sophie it is good to see your smile without the braces. I miss all of you already. Our trip earlier in the month was great. I love you all. - Grandma L

Sofi, what a gorgeous smile!

You have all those berries growing in your yard? I can't wait.

We have watched our two neighbor kids get their tonsils out this spring and summer. It is not something we envy. Our sympathies to Helen.
