...like I need a hole in the head!

Don't come near me with that thing!

This past weekend I visited my best friend Laura and her 12 year old daughter Gwynneth in Phoenix. The best part of the weekend was taking G to get her ears pierced. After a lot of walking around the mall and a good amount of drama in convincing G that it wasn't going to hurt, she finally got it done. The photo here is from before anything actually happened. At this point the woman hasn't even marked her ears yet. The look on G's face is priceless. You can also see photos of immediately before and immediately after the piercings. G survived and finally has her first set of earrings. (G, I'm proud of you.)
