Orthodontist and Soccer Games

 Melia and I headed over to the clinic to visit the orthodontist today. I plunked down the last payment - an investment in her beautiful smile. I am impressed how much cheaper medical care is when I tell them we are "self pay." We paid 1/4 of the normal cost today. I also noted they wanted it paid BEFORE treatment begins. I remember making payments when Krista had braces. 

We signed off on a treatment plan today. The only problem is a new orthodontist is moving out to this clinic in September, and they don't want to start anything until HE sees her and comes up with his own treatment plan.  I joked last night that I was quite sure we would have more than one treatment plan appointment. We've already had four appointments for a tongue tie that still isn't fixed. We've been working on it since February.  The ortho now wants to see what the ENT says about it in August. If he wants it fixed before or after braces.  

We had a mobile crew come by today and detail Allie's car. WOW. It looks and smells like a new car. I plan to schedule them to do the van next. 

I was in the middle of fixing dinner when I REMEMBERED tonight was Danny's last soccer game. Michael took over cooking and I ran out to the fields. It was POURING down rain, but I am so glad I remembered in time. 

Danny is number 27
