Megan got her ears pierced for her birthday. Of course, her birthday was back in May, but soccer season and the no earrings rule meant that she had to wait until the season was over. When she started asking we said that she had to wait until she was twelve. She talked about how she couldn't wait until she was twelve to get her ears pierced. It finally occurred to me that she's fully competent to care for them and therefore there really wasn't a good reason to not let her go ahead and get them. She's certainly shown a lot of responsibility in dealing with her new sister. :)
Kaitlyn attended her first parade the other night for Grantsville Days. She loved it: waving, clapping, candy collecting, and candy eating. She's also learned to stack duplos. This new skill hopefully means that she will play with her siblings instead of destroying their creations. 
This is what happens when it rains hard. Want to guess where the low spot is? That pathetic flower bed is a work in progress....right now we're raising kids. ;P
Tell Megan I'm excited to see the earrings!
ReplyDeleteHey there! Thank you so much for the sweet comment you left on my blog. You are so right, it is comforting to know that people I don't "know" care for my sweet girl and are praying for her.
ReplyDeleteI have peeked in on your beautiful little family from time to time in the past, but I think I will just become a regular follower so I can keep up with you now.
Thanks again!
