Allie has been pierced

As much as it pained me to go through, Allie now has her ears pierced, along with my heart. It felt so strange to willingly inflict the pain to her. I was against it, but her mom really wanted them as you can tell from the photo. I guess all in all it will be good for her. I just felt so bad inside, knowing that she was going through this pain and it wasn't for something absolutely necessary like her shots are for school and such. I will say that she surprised me with how tough she was. She didn't cry at all for the first ear, the second she cried (no tears) for about 10 seconds. Then she was fine. Actually she was more than fine, she was laughing and smiling as she normally does. Oh well, I think one day I'll look back and be glad we did it early.

Da Da Da Da...

Allie is starting to put some syllables together. Although she didn't say da da, it was close enough. I was so excited, I decided to make a movie about it.

Sweet Surprise

Adam and I used to have lunch together everyday. Then... work became really hectic and it was no longer condusive to my schedule. So, we stopped going as much. We have started to go about once a week. It is a nice break from work.

But today... I got an extra special treat. We had Chesters!! Yummy. Love the burgers... and I came back to work. To my surprise, he called to let me know he was going to bring me a Mocha Frap. When I went to meet him to retrieve it... He had a James Avery gift for me... It is a little charm to symbolize Allie. It was a great surprise. I LOVE IT!! I secretly wanted one but didn't want to purchase it for myself. And now I have one.

Thanks honey. Your the GREATEST!!
