My little girl turned 6 this summer and will be headed to the first grade in just a couple of short weeks. Birthdays are a big deal for her. She talks about them everyday for months. She starts getting excited/prepared on July 1st when it is her birthday month. She really surprised me a couple of days before her birthday when she said she was ready to get her ears pierced. I still thought she'd back out because we've talked about it before and she always picked a time in the far future when she'd be ready. But this time she really was, so we headed to the mall that morning. She picked out some sparkly crystal blue daisy earrings. Zachary covered his ears in anticipation of screams but she did really well even though the young lady had to pierce her ears one at a time. (Usually with small children they do both at once using 2 workers). So it all worked out . We came home and a few grandparents came over. We opened presents, sang happy birthday and ate cake from Nord's Bakery. It was a lovely birthday. The next day we went to Uncle Jed and Aunt Katie's house for a pizza party celebration. They were so sweet to throw Isabella a party and we hung out all evening playing with Charlotte's toys. The kids had a ton of fun!
More to follow soon on a trip to Henry's Ark and Boy Scout camp...plus baby #4.
