We had a great Easter.  I hope yours was wonderful too!

John took the kids shopping and out to run errands on Saturday  morning.  It was nice to be home in the peace and quiet.  When they came home, I noticed something a little bit different about R.  She had gotten her ears pierced!  We have been talking about it for months now, and she has been asking to get it done.  Every time we were in the vicinity of an ear-piercing store, though, she changed her mind, saying, "maybe when I'm a little bit bigger."  Saturday, though, she apparently decided that she was big enough, because she agreed to go in!

She said that she was a little bit scared, but that she didn't cry.  She was very proud to show me her beautiful earrings that she picked out by herself. 

I can't believe what a big girl she is turning into!  She will be six on Saturday... how did the time go by so fast?  *sigh*

We are in the midst of a busy week... the public schools are out this week, so we're getting together with friends and cousins who are enjoying their April vacation.  J has his Civil War class this week, and on Friday we're meeting with some friends at the park to have cupcakes to celebrate R's birthday. 

Have a good week!
