She Did It!

Anna, my darling daughter who has a severe hatred and paranoia of needles, got her ears pierced over the weekend.  She wanted it that badly!  We told her that she could have her ears pierced for her 8th birthday, which is coming up in a couple weeks.  She is so very happy and proud of herself for going through it without shedding a tear.  She was a trooper!  We're proud of you too!  Doesn't she look pretty... and so grown up?!?

A Boy and His Chicken

For some reason, Daniel has found a new friend in Kate's chicken named "Teeny."  He'll go out to the chicken coop many times throughout the day, scoop up Teeny and hold her under his arm like a football and then walk around like that.  

He also likes to take Teeny in his police car...

Or ride her around in the shopping cart.

  Not sure how much Teeny likes it, but Dan sure is having fun!!

Look Who Came Last Night!

The Tooth Fairy made a visit to Kate last night.  Our little 6-year-old lost her third tooth yesterday... and gained a dollar!
