 gone the next morning when I gave the floss a good yank.  By that night, the second one was gone (thanks again to me) and now we're golden!  That night we celebrated with McDonalds and Baskin Robbins and the girls got to sleep on an air mattress in the living room so they could watch a movie to fall asleep!

It wasn't even a week after we had them pierced before the right one went missing. We searched and couldn't find it and by morning the darn thing was grown in! So, now we get to go and have it re-pierced. She doesn't really seem bothered by it-so who knows when we'll actually make it back the the mall. On a weird side note: Jared found the earring (but not the back to it) in our bed last night-almost a week after it went missing.

To our great delight-it worked!! Last night we went to Claire's in the mall and she got her ears pierced. Lola watched the whole thing and decided she wanted to have hers done too! Thankfully there were no tears and they are both obsessed with showing them off! They tried to convince dad to get his ears pierced with them (because I already have mine pierced and they thought it would be the best to have the whole family be able to wear earrings!) but Jared wasn't into it. Now, if they were getting tattoo's...well, they probly could have convinced him!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch6ihYtjI/AAAAAAAAAFg/-rE3VqoutsQ/s1600-h/IMG_5824.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167636387013899826" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch6ihYtjI/AAAAAAAAAFg/-rE3VqoutsQ/s320/IMG_5824.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Cali becoming a new girl<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch7ChYtkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/njEVcqI3i1Q/s1600-h/IMG_5831.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167636395603834434" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch7ChYtkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/njEVcqI3i1Q/s320/IMG_5831.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Lo following in her sissy's footsteps<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch7ihYtlI/AAAAAAAAAFw/WZ9oStKDa_U/s1600-h/IMG_5833.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167636404193769042" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RFfxE2BoHW8/R7ch7ihYtlI/AAAAAAAAAFw/WZ9oStKDa_U/s320/IMG_5833.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />the happy couple<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5507609450462900704-2389527540374830454?l=jaredandjessa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jessa and Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14405108012959592650noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507609450462900704.post-33456163667418847702008-02-11T18:58:00.000-08:002008-02-11T18:59:57.249-08:00sorry-I'm still trying to figure out this whole blog thing.
