Our Little Princess

We are very lucky... Allie loves the boat as much as we do! Chase does pretty well on it too.



Our big girl decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. We all loaded up and went there together. She was okay until they finished marking her ears. Then the tears started. We told her she didn't have to do it. She said she wanted to, she was just scared. She ended up sitting on my lap and going through with it. We don't have any still pictures of the actual piercing because she was on my lap. Troy was taking a video on his phone. It breaks my heart to watch it. Lots of tears and screaming. It turned out fine. I don't think it ever really hurt her... she was just really scared. Now she is very proud of her new earrings.

Our big girl also took swimming lessons this summer. She has been doing great. She now loves to jump off the side of the pool or the diving board. She was even letting Troy throw her in the pool. In the past, she would scream if she even got a drop of water in her face even though she has always loved to get in the water. We are very proud of her.
