Sara Got Her Ears Pierced!!!!

Sara has be waiting a long time to get her ears pierced. Richard and I decided that she had to be at least 8 years old and REALLY want them pierced before we would let her. Sara came to her daddy on Sunday morning, a week ago, and asked him very sweetly. He told her to ask him again after church and to write a poem about it. That evening, Sara, who had enrolled Sam and Josh to sing along, sang the poem she had thought up during church and through the after noon.

"Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy please let me pierce my ears.
Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy, it will dry up all my tears.
Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy, you been the best dad for years.
Oh Daddy, Oh Daddy, please let me have fancy ears."

She was so darling that Richard melt like butter. He said she could get them pierced. Then he said it was sweet of her to write him a poem about it and ask what made her think to do it. I thought he was joking but he really had no recollection of asking her to write one. Both Sara and I heard him though. We laughed.


The next day we went to Claire's.

Virgin Ears


A bear to love.


A little more painful than she thought.

Yea, fancy ears! Sam went with for support and bought her a pair of earrings. So sweet!

Oh, and when we walked in the door at home to show off her sparkling ears, we found Laney asleep on the stairs. Apparently, she became exhausted while brushing her teeth and passed out on the bottom step.
