Time flies when you are having fun!

Wow! I am shocked at how fast October has gone by! It has been a full month. Gracie and I drove back to Lewiston, Idaho to get Gracie’s lower expander put in at the beginning of the month, found out one of Gracie’s molars on the top that we need for more palate expansions has some pretty bad decay on it and we are exploring all ways right now to try to save that tooth so we can continue much needed expansion, all of us (dogs included) took a week long trip back to the Mike’s family farm in the corner of North East Montana (lovely sunsets!) to spend time with friends (Gracie played lots of dress up!), Grandma Nini, Grandpa Jim and Gracie got to play with numerous cousins, and this past weekend I traveled to Helena to see my friend and have a mom break while Gracie spent some quality time with her dad. Though there was a lot of driving (nearly 2500 miles total this month), the beautiful colors of fall along the interstates and highways certainly were a wonderful distraction from all that travel! While I was gone, my husband capture the cutest video of Gracie multitasking - putting her shoes on while talking on the phone..like mother like daughter! An incredible milestone for her diagnosis! And I got to dabble in some whittling thanks to my friend Steph! Go to my Facebook page JoyMarieRicardiClark to see some more beautiful pictures and Gracie videos (videos not supported on this page) from this month! Prayers we find a good solution for Gracie’s tooth! Thank everyone so much for supporting Gracie in her Journey!
