Apple Picking

Nellie invited us to come and pick apples. The orchard is right around the corner from her house and the apples are delicious. Josie ate about 5 while we were there. I already made a pie. The girls are asking when we can go back to "Mellies" and pick some more apples!!!!

The girls get their ears pierced!

Josie went first and only shed one tear.

Claire went second and barely flinched. She got off my lap right away and wanted to play!

Dad and the girls show off their new earrings. They both chose the diamonds instead of birthstones. I wonder where they get that from.
