This little one is growing up.

She's been wanting to get her ears pierced for a long long time.  Finally the day came! She was a little nervous, but super excited!

Before the big event...

Sitting in the chair she wanted to hug on the "Clair Bear" they had and hold Dale's hand.  There were a couple people in front of us and she got to watch the process before her turn.  Dallin and Dale had gone across the way to look at shoes.  Once it was her turn she was adamant that we call Dale back and have him hold her hand! 

It wasn't nearly as scary as she thought it would be!

The 'after' picture.

She is getting to be such a big, responsible girl.  She walks to the bus stop every morning (Dallin and mom usually walk with her) and then she walks home on her own.  She is enjoying her class at school and making a lot of friends there and in the neighborhood.  We are blessed to have a lot of girls her age to play with!

One morning it actually felt like winter!  There was fog in the streets and low clouds for most of the day.  It was more of an adventure than usual to walk to the bus stop!
