general updates
Annie & I got our ears pierced a week ago Sunday. We each picked birthstone studs. She couldn’t decide if she was going first or if I was. And, the lady was *really* busy at the Claires Store where we had it done. Finally, we were ready to go & Annie decided, at the last minute, to go first.
Yep, you guessed it… The lady pierced her right ear with *my* birthstone. And, it hurt more than Annie had expected. So, we went ahead & left her with my stone in her right ear. She steeled herself & was pierced with her stone in her left ear.
And, I got the ‘matching’ set in my ears 
I kind of like it like this…
Allison got a 33 on her ACT test. 99th percentile. She is awesome.
Shelby can’t wait for school to let out. I feel kind of sad that this set of 2nd grade teachers brought him to the point where he feels that way about school, now. Oh, well - maybe next year will get him excited again.
