Ear Piercing

April 3, 2010

Marty took me and the girls out for my birthday. I really wanted the girls's pierced, so I decided that would be a perfect birthday gift for me. So, we went to Claires. They were both so brave. Neither of the girls cried. I was so happy because they loved their new earings.

After the ear piercing, Marty took us to Olive Garden. It was just a really great night. A great memory was made!

Yesterday, April 7th, Gracie lost one of her earings. It fell out of her ear while she was playing. One of the kids found the back, but we could not find the little earing. I prayed that God would show me where the earing was. So, a little later that evening, I changed Luke on the floor in his room. I saw something shiny... It was Gracie's little earing! God is sooo good!

The story of Luke's Hair Cut by Mimi

January, 2010

Mimi was going to take Luke for an outing and noticed that his hair made him resemble Art Gunfunkel. Being a person of intelligence and skill, she decided that Luke needed a haircut and she could indeed perform the task and make him look like a cover for GQ. But…PapPaw was still in the house and she knew this couldn’t happen while he was there as he would protest and besides, Mimi needed his moustache trimmers to create the right look. So Mimi kept Luke in his chair, waiting patiently for PapPaw to leave the house which he finally did. She ran into the bathroom, procured those trimmers and went to work. After a few moments, Mimi and Luke were laughing so hard, that even though things weren’t going to well, we were having fun. So, we kept on going. Upon further observation, it seemed a good idea to quit and hope that no one noticed that his hair had been tampered with. There was a discrepancy between what Mimi thought she could do and reality. Instead of Garfunkel, we now had a clown look. When mommy arrived to pick him up, Mimi was concerned that this could create some strife in the family. Thankfully, though she was momentarily stunned, she quickly found her sense of humor. Her simple request was, “Please take him to a barber and get this straightened out.” Today, Mimi took Luke to Peaden’s to have his first “outside” hair cut. It is very short, but now even all over. He’s the man! I think I will refrain from temptation if I ever consider cutting his hair again.
