Patience is a Virtue...


Sometimes you have to be sneaky! I caught her "After Braces" shot when we went in to town to get her nails done...Hahaaaa...She couldn't say a Word in front of the lady working on her...I love it! After we walked out and I showed her the photo on the camera, she just gave me that, "well, OK...but Don't Do It Again" speech, and half grin. "My hair looks awful"!Hahaaa....Get over it Kid! Life rarely takes us where we want to go...you have to get behind the wheel, and Drive!
I had the Grandbabies all weekend. They wanted to stay so how can you say no?! We shopped, played and watched Thor ( Good movie AND set up for a sequel!) and the newest Transformers (Good BUT, SO glad that's over...). We talked a bit about life, they got tickled and hot biscuits and jam for breakfast...life is good. I'm making memories for when life gets tough, as it usually does. Sweet memories makes the hard things...easier.
Well, hope your week is starting out great. October is now here with it's cooler winds, thank God. I was beginning to forget how good they felt! Guess I'll grab a coffee...Enjoy your day!

I've learned that if we always wait for the perfect picture or background, we will miss so many opportunities and memories. Great job on capturing the "after" picture!

Totally gorgeous and I'm assuming she's Crystal's daughter because I actually thought it was Crystal at first!

Thanks for sharing, and do tell her she's beautiful and should show herself off!!

Take care, CJ xx

Love the "after braces" pic. She is so lovely, and her hair is just fine! Sounds like you're having fun making memories. I'm loving autumn too! It's been rainy and cloudy and sooo gorgeous! My favorite time of year!

SUGAR MOON said...

She's beautiful. I remember when my youngest got her braces off I couldn't believe how big her teeth were and her smile. It took a while to get used to. lol
