From braces to siblings

T got her bottom braces off yesterday! Yeah! The Dr. office gave her an empty water bottle filled with all the candy you can't eat with braces. Of course, it is the same candy that you can't eat if you want to prevent cavities, but apparently orthodontists don't talk to dentists. She got starbursts, twizzlers, blow pops, juicy fruit and airheads. She was extremely happy!

She is pretty busy these days. Lets see, for PR purposes....She volunteers at the library, belongs to the bowling club, the swim club, the drama club and the chess club. She is taking art classes and doing an online math program. She is very involved in her church and is rehearsing to be one of the speakers in an upcoming service. She is about to join the 4-H club and is signed up to do an overnight at the liberty science center and learn all about weather.

Pretty darn impressive if you ask me. But the big news....she is going to have a sister who is one year younger than her. That's right, you heard it here first, we are officially INSANE, but she is ecstatic! We are beginning the process (that we are assuming will take two years) to bring another child home from Haiti. We are accepting donations of any amount!

BTW, Sammy said to Johnley today, "You are from Haiti. I will always love you and always take care of you." So I guess we are doing something right!
