Thursday February 16

Today has been kind of a crazy day.

Dad took Cassi to an Orthodontist appointment this morning.

They were supposed to attach braces to the teeth that haven't come down yet.

Well, she sat down, the removed the wire, then said the dentist would expose the teeth in the gums.

Well, luckily, dad actually had a dentist appointment for himself after Cassi's appointment.\

So she just went with him.

BUT......turns our our dentist doesn't do that procedure.....so Cassi hung out while Dad got his mouth worked on.

I ended up going an getting her and taking her back to the Ortho to get the wire back in until we could get scheduled with an oral surgeon to get the job done.

We get in there and after some talking they said that actually they would be able to do the procedure there at the Orthodontist......but it would have to be scheduled a different day because it would take about an hour :(

Sooooo.....they put back on her wire and I took her to school.

At home I actually started to prime some of the cabinet doors.

Then I got a call from the school that Cassi was in the nurses office feeling kind of sick.

She went to lunch and didn't have much of an appetite.

She only ate a couple chips, and then she felt nauseous.

So, I went and picked her up.

I did a little more painting before I had to leave again to pick up Porter for his eye appointment.

He did great.

They said he had a little bit of farsightedness, but nothing to be concerned about.

On the way home, we grabbed some pizza for dinner.

Then this evening, we cut Port's hair off!

We have a little friend, Max Jones, who was just diagnosed with cancer.

What they thought would be minimal treatment has not worked like they want to and there has been a lot of travel back and forth places and a lot harder than they initially thought.

They were in our ward (and I was his teacher) before moving the Nampa, and his Dad is a Boise firefighter as well.

This Saturday the Nampa Fire Department (his Dad used to work there before Boise) is doing a fundraiser and for each shaved head, money goes to the Jones family.

Dad is on shift Saturday, but the boys wanted to shave their heads for Max.

So we did Port's tonight.

Dad might do it at the station on Saturday with the guys on duty there.....he hasn't decided.

But he might do it tomorrow.

Anyway, Port has never had his head shaved......so I haven't seen that bald head since he was a baby :)

Sure is a cutie!

His 'Grandpa' haircut :)

Port, with dilated eyes :)
