Baltic Teething Necklace

People see pictures like this and ask, "Does that necklace work?"  The answer is, "I don't know."  I bought it in desperation because his teething was horrible.  I was giving him way too much Motrin and teething tablets on top of it.  I researched these Baltic Teething Necklaces and decided to give it a try.  Why not?!  Now I give him less Motrin, but still give it now and then, still go through teething tablets like they're going out of style, and sometimes he sleeps through the night, sometimes not. I have no idea whether the necklace makes any difference or if it's more of a placebo affect.  But isn't that face adorable?!

Taylor & Bess, 9.5 yrs

These two girls have been constant in each other's lives for 9 and 1/2 years.  They were born 2 days apart, and their parents (Frank and me, Kent and Janna) have made every effort to keep them close.  I worried that as they got older they would drift apart, but I don't see that happening.  If anything, they are closer than ever, even though they see each other less than they did 2 years ago.  I think the fact that they each have a little brother 6 years younger causes them to understand each other better and maybe even need each other more.  I think people are drawn to people with similar lives.  I pray that they will continue to love each other no matter what may come!
