Spring Fever

I was so sick of the endless winter today that I dressed Lucy up in a bright spring outfit and willed the weather to follow suit. Unfortunately, it's still gloomy outside but Lucy is a ray of sunshine!

Pierced Ears

I know, I know. We're the horrible parents who took their innocent baby to some stranger in the mall and let them punch holes in her ears. I even felt a little guilty about it at the time. I am, however, very happy with the result and I'm really glad we did it. She cried for less than 30 seconds (blood-curling scream though it was), and at this age we can keep them clean and infection free, a task that I'd imagine is a little harder when she's 2, 5, 7 or 10. But what about her choices? Shouldn't she have the right to choose whether or not she has earrings? Yea, I guess you got me on that one. This is purely her mom and dad's choice... we hope someday she'll forgive us. For now though, we think the new jewelry is so stinkin' cute!

Dad and aunt Crystal walking with Lucy into the mall. Crystal had to come because neither Chris or I could bare to hold her during the procedure.


Getting the equipment ready. I kind of felt bad at this point and almost changed my mind. She was looking at us and smiling and had no idea what we were about to do to her. Chris picked out her earrings, beautiful CZ flowers. They did have pink flowers but we decided against them because her little birthmark looks like a pink flower already! :)




The end result. A Beautiful Girl!!
