The first kid with braces!

It has been a rough couple of weeks! I got some kind of intestinal bug that wiped me out over two weeks ago, and just as I was feeling better the flu (first time I remember getting the flu) laid me out for a couple days. I'm still a little weak and congested, just in time for Nick and Signe to both come down with it.
While they are home (and Signe spends all day watching HGTV reruns like "Fixer Upper"), I took Zane to the orthodontist to get a mouth full of gear. He has an expander in the roof of his mouth that I will enlarge by tiny increments every other day, in order to make more room in his narrow mouth. Zane went back to school drooling like a St. Bernard until he gets used to all the new stuff taking up space.
