"Curly Jo" This is how her hair is after a bath.

Sporting her new braces...And that is what her hair looks like after it dries. :)

July 29, 2009 Josie is finally done with the castings, and got fitted for braces. It was a very, very hard day and night. She cried...I cried. We kept everyone up (we had a hotel room). She finally feel asleep about 5:00 am and when she woke at 7:30 (the BEST 2 1/2 hours ever!) she was herself again. She was happy and content, and has been since. She has to wear her braces 23 hours a day. She has an hour for some kicking and a bath. She does prefer to have them on, though. She never makes the full hour. She gets a bit fussy-until I put them on again.

...while in Utah we spent some time with Timari...LOVED IT!! She took some great pictures of the kids for me. Thanks, Sweetie. I miss you.

July 31, 2009 Nels and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. :) Wow! How grateful I am to be married to my best friend.
Now..Aug seems to be flying by and Josie seems to be getting bigger everyday. That makes me sad.
