We should mention...

We like our new house. Landen invites everyone he meets over.  It's cute. Maggie likes to open the cupboards.  I like we have so much space and 3 bathrooms. Michael likes that it has 6 acres and an old dairy.

We have great neighbors too. Everyone is very friendly and brings us garden produce and cookies. Love it. It makes the 'desert' not feel so lonely and isolated. You know what's 16 miles west of blackfoot? Not much.  Everyone says 'I'm your neighbor I live 5 miles that way,' Awesome.

Maggie's hand is doing a little better. The cure is lanolin. We can't seem to get her to lay off the sucking, but we're getting the blisters to heal. :) She got teeth, so I think it was the jaw tension that had her really going at them.... but you never know.

Oh Maggie!

Poor girl.  She likes to suck her 2 right fingers.  She often sucks them raw.  I noticed yesterday she sucked them too much!!

I can't figure out what to do! She mostly sucks them at night and nap and then when she needs soothing for a few moments throughout the day. I can stop her while she's awake, it's the sleeping thing that messes us up.

I've tried wrapping them up. She just sucks it anyway! Or pulls it off. I tried vinegar but that only stopped her for a minute. Ah.. I don't know what to do!!
