Jenya Gets Braces

Jenya got her braces put on today. A very long procedure – 3+ hours – but she was a trooper.  They let her pick the colors on the braces, so of course she picked rainbow.  So here’s the girl with the rainbow braces, with her favorite rainbow pony, also wearing braces!  (And yes, that’s my old tie-die dress from Stanford that she is wearing.)
