Myrna wrote: I would have liked the chin but not the pain. I just wore braces for four LONG years. They did the best they could and I do have a bite. Kirsten did not have a bite.

Amy J. wrote about the Myrna's mention of the difficulty of  keeping up with a family schedule and her admiration for the young mothers of the family: But you DID do it Myrna, AND you had 8 kids instead of 5! :)  Give Kirsten our love and she will be in our prayers for a speedy recovery.  Have fun with her kiddos. Amy
