She's growing up...

Mesa has been wanting her ears pierced for about a year now. While shopping today, Jaci, Mesa, and I got a little bored so we walked into a jewelry store while we were waiting for my mom, Grandma, and A. Peggy. There was no better time like the present to pierce Mesa's ears, so she hopped in the chair. They marked her ears and POW! POW! She shed a couple of tears but no sobs. What a brave kid! She knew it was going to hurt but was so ready. We all watched and were proud of her, except for Grandma Betty, who left the store because she didn't want to see Mesa in any pain! :) The best was when Mylie said, "Oh, Mesa, you're beautiful!" We have one proud six year old who has been waiting for this day! (I've even caught her pinching her ears for practice a few times in the past!)
