spring is in the air

Ah, the glorious days of spring are in full bloom here in SC. April and October are my favorite months, so, I took an hour during "joint nap time" today to jump in the yard and prune my flowering shrubs. The hour today was as good for the yard as for my spirits. :)

The previous owners built our house about 25 years ago. Little treasures pop up now and then. I found this sweet little daisy tucked in beside a cheery tree. The tulip is from a dinner party we threw on Friday. Much sweeter than the plumbing fiasco with lead to this newly renovated master bath.

This month, I have about 4 weeks between adjustments. No big ortho news to share, really. Things are moving around. My pain is minimal - praise! - and I am eating most of my favorite foods. Teeth movement is localized to my back molars and my lower front teeth. There is a small space that continues to open, then all the lower teeth shift out, closing the space, and then my mouth repeats that action. Over and over. It feels strange, but must be progress?

I am in a hold pattern regarding surgery until my appointment with a new surgeon on 4.28.08. In the interim, I'm researching both doctors. And praying consistently, too.

My babies are growing so fast! Our youngest, buttercup, is really not a baby anymore, making our nursing moments that much sweeter. Here is my latest snapshot of her, which I like because it reveals her gentle dispostion.

I know what you mean when you say that everything in your life hinges on this surgery and when it will happen. Lately, it has been weighing on me heavily. Just yesterday I finally got a definite date.
Good luck with this new doctor. Hopefully everything will just fall into place for you!

Enjoy the spring!!
