I Am Thankful For Emma
Emma is eight years old going on sixteen and I just love her. I love her energy and the joy she has for life. She is a caring girl that experiences everything completely. So when she’s sad, she’s very sad; when she’s excited, she’s very excited; and when she’s happy, she’s very happy. She is a blessing to our family with her sense of humor and her sweet nature. Emma has the heart of a dancer, or maybe actress, or maybe cheerleader, or maybe veterinarian, or maybe dolphin trainer. We’ll see, there are just so many possibilities.
Following are photos of her progress with braces. She did little complaining for a seven year old dealing with discomfort, extra brushing and a list of restricted foods. Now that they’re off, she still has to wear the retainers all the time (except for when she eats) and I’ve been proud of how responsible she has been with them and how she keeps them clean. So without further ado…

Bet it’s nice to have your braces off!
What a beautiful girl…and looking so grown up! I remember the day I got my braces off – do you remember? You guys brought me carmeled apples. It was great!
BEAUTIFUL EMMA!!! I am happy you got them off. I know that they can be a real pain.
E-M-M-A!!!! You look Marvelous Darling! Really want a beautiful smile? Can we use that photo in an ad? 🙂 I also love the look with your bangs pulled back. Really stylish! Now go eat some caramel popcorn (that was the first thing I ate!)…we love you!
Wow! What a gorgeous young lady!! Congratulations on getting your braces off and what a beautiful smile! We sure miss you guys.
