The Quiet Brooke

During the last week of soccer this season, Brooke blocked a shot at practice...with her jaw.  For a while we thought she was okay, but after a few days of jaw popping, they thought she should see an oral surgeon.  I took her to her appointment to get checked out, and we were a bit shocked to walk out of that appointment with her jaw wired shut for ten days!  Not broken, but the surgeon was afraid she'd heal misaligned.  And so began her ten days of staying with us to use our blender.  :)

My favorite at dinner time:  "Do you want something to drink, Brooke?  I mean besides your entire meal?"  Har, har.

Before she got the wires out ten days later, I had to get a before and after pic.
