Tooth trauma

Two weeks ago, we were all working outside in the yard. Shannon told the kids that they could earn extra allowance by picking up sticks and limbs and carrying them to the burn pile in the back yard. Libby starting trucking it down the driveway -- she was running too fast and lost her balance. I'm on the front porch hanging a new flag when I hear a thud, then a blood-curdling scream. I RAN to the lower driveway and found Libby face down on the concrete. She was bleeding, screaming, and basically in an overall state of hysteria. She had scraped up her forehead, palms and knees, and worst of all, broken her teeth. Quite a picture, I know... but you can see her left top tooth broken in half, and the right one chipped significantly. Btw, this was two days after it happened...

This is the brave girl in the dentist's chair, waiting to have her teeth repaired. Luckily, we have a very talented dentist who rebuilt her teeth in less than two hours! You would never know by looking at her that she'd had such an accident!
