Blue...Yummmy blueberries! <BR/>And so good for you, too! <BR/>Blueberries are one of the fruits that EVERYONE in our family loves, so I actually have a lot of blueberry recipes. And I usually pick 10+ lbs. each July and freeze them to use for smoothies, pancakes, and baking throughout the year. <BR/><BR/>Thank you, friends, for your very kind and thoughtful words about my father-in-law. The last 18 months have been difficult. I think it will get better when our addition-renovation is done and we have more appropriate living space for everyone.<BR/><BR/>AmyC :: I didn't mention in my post, but Anna had a palate expander mouth appliance for the last 11 months to widen her palate. Once there was more room, she lost a few stubborn baby teeth and they came in nice and straight. Her new braces are only on the top four teeth, so its not so bad so far. Good luck with Devin.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-33715120813740645072008-07-18T11:38:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:38:00.000-04:00Oh, that is so sad and moving about your Father in...Oh, that is so sad and moving about your Father in law and his family. What a story! And what a horrible, senseless way for a boy to be injured. His family must have been frantic, not being able to get him proper attention. And what a great daughter in law you are! <BR/><BR/>And I loved the sweet photos of your girl.Carolyn Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195853833116263029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-33001951983367040532008-07-17T17:51:00.000-04:002008-07-17T17:51:00.000-04:00That is great she's handling her braces well. Devi...That is great she's handling her braces well. Devin had a dental check up today. Still no cavities! Woot! But he's going to need braces too. Maybe. His front teeth protrude from sucking his thumb and the doc said the orhto we go to is going to have to move his teeth before they put on the braces. We are going to schedule a consult with the ortho and see what he says. The dentist said maybe moving the teeth then wearing a retainer may work providing when more teeth grow in they come in straight.Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832983748006739171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-47410876177168720302008-07-17T15:30:00.000-04:002008-07-17T15:30:00.000-04:00I love that you're doing all these fun things with...I love that you're doing all these fun things with A. I'm sure she's loving having you all to herself. I think it's adorable that she said she was pretty after she got her braces. Most kids would say the opposite. :)<BR/><BR/>I loved hearing about your father-in-law and what he went through. Simply amazing. I know it's a day late but please wish him a happy birthday from me. :) You're a good d-i-l!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320961506471746567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-27683982803553780602008-07-17T12:35:00.000-04:002008-07-17T12:35:00.000-04:00Awwwww, I'm switching back from the yummy food (no...Awwwww, I'm switching back from the yummy food (no blueberry jam *sniff sniff*, but sundae...mmmm) and overly sweet hearing about your dad-in-law. My grandparents were in China during that time so, yes, it's incredibly heartwrenching to hear, but also amazing at their strength.<BR/><BR/>Ice cream, ice cream.
