And so it begins…

Today was the day and I just want to say that the orthodontia industry is SMART. Whoever decided to make the colored attachments for the brackets deserves the equivalent of a Nobel Peace Prize for the dental industry. Braces are cool. More cool than they have ever been before.

We're starting on our adventure with purple and lilac, and had an outfit for school picked out to coordinate. We've already determined the next three color changes based on summer activities, new middle school colors, etc. The teenage boy in the chair next to Isabella asked for blue. The girl on her other side was getting green and pink. And everyone was smiling. It was a good start to the next 20 months!

Traveling in style

I know some of you will think travel trailers are lame. And to that I say... whatever. We have been renting them since we moved to Texas because quite frankly, its just too damn hot to camp in a tent here. Tent campers bring portable window air conditioners and I am not even kidding. So, we finally broke down and bought one of our own. This past weekend was the first trip out and although it did not go smoothly, mostly thanks to me and my lack of packing skills, which is quite frankly, a puzzlement to everyone, we still had a great time and can't wait to head out again.

We stayed in Lake Somerville State Park and it was great. A really nice park and most of the campsites are oversized with lots of space between you and your neighbors. The park was quiet since the weather was quite chilly. We took a long hike and the girls hung out on the beach while Scott fished.

Isabella's friend Kristen went with us on our trip this past weekend. She is a great girl and we love it when she is able to come along.
