And then this happened.


Mabel turned eleven while we were in San Diego. On her birthday, she and Mike disappeared for an hour or so. When they returned, she had pierced ears and a big smile. He said she was a little nervous while they were waiting.


Your average mall accessories shop doesn't cut it for Mike. This guy was the real deal. (He has a 5 star rating on Yelp, even!) She said it only pinched a little bit. I can't even really look at these pictures.


Officially a tween!

  2. I heard those guns are not as good for your ears as the needles are, so I guess it's a good thing! Emily will be 11 in August. Eeek!

  3. I think that's a great idea to go to a "specialist" to get ears pierced! I will remember that for if I ever have girls. I would trust them way more than a girl at the mall.

  5. What a crack up! That guy, not your sweet girl. She's darling! He looks like he belongs in my neighborhood :) But I guess you know he's the expert piercer considering his own ears!

  6. funny story--i was searching for a place to get my nails painted and i so i turned to yelp and clicked on daisy nails and the first review i came across was Mike's! i was so impressed that 1. he got your girls gift certificates to get pedi's and 2. took the time to write a review about how lame that salon treated the little ladies! i've laughed about that for weeks now, wasn't expecting to get a review from mike on the matter.
