With a new (Taylor-inspired) ‘do.

Brace yourself
Olivia has a completely new smile! After many months of braces, she’s celebrating with a bag of previously off-limits candy, provided by the orthodontist (?!…he must get a kickback from the dentist next door).
The next challenge is to keep hold of a wildly expensive and removable retainer. Bry texted from the appointment: “Dogs love them, apparently.” I suggested ordering a backup immediately.

Extra-curricular kicks
Olivia started soccer last week; she will play on an indoor team for the next couple of months. (Practice conveniently follows piano by 10 minutes…we ALMOST make it on time).
While she insists she’s terribly nervous about the prospect of never scoring a goal, you’d never know it. She literally skips between exercises and doles out high fives left and right.

Overheard
Owen, directly into the ear of a sleeping dog: “August! AUGUST!! Oh, you’re alive. Good dog.”

Owen fix
“I have a baby in my tummy also [just like Aunt Katie!!].”
And, of course, August. Because when you have a giant (wet) puppy, it’s hard to ignore.
