The Smelker Seven

Two Events Today

Teagan's braces came off today! She has had them on since April 2006 and it is amazing to see the difference in her teeth. She got her retainer, and has to wear it except when eating. She was so excited to get them removed. Of course she is not done yet - this was just Phase 1 of what will likely be a staple in her life for the next few years. She will have to start Phase 2 in about 12-18 months (once all her baby teeth fall out).

The other event was the swim banquet that heralded the end of the official swim season for the team. It was a good season for our team - as mentioned earlier in the blog, we won Divisionals - first time in 20 years. Then several of the kids went on to swim at All Stars where our team shone. Here are the girls displaying their trophies. Teagan is also displaying brace-free teeth!




And just so that the boys don't get forgotten I pulled this photo of the 4 kids from our time spent at Disney World in May. From left to right it is Hayley, Carson, Garrick and Teagan.
