Today we got pictures of Anna and she has her ears pierced. She got them done on January 22, 2008 with her Foster mother, Carolina. Thanks Carolina - Anna looks so cute with the earrings.
hey Kim & Others, Just FYI - Anna went to the Ped. Dr. to get her ears pierced, and yes the Dr's office is spotless.

Hi--congrats on the BC being done. She is very cute! We live in orange county, ny but I'm from Farmingdale. My family is still there and we go often.
take care,
Donna
I love them!! I was so happy that my daughter got her's pierced too.
Gail
why'd she get them pierced in Guatemala? Was it done cleanly? Sorry, the nurse in me is always worried about infection.
She is a b-e-a-utiful little girl though. Congrats to you, Kerry, Peter, and the girls (Katie and Kimberly)!!!
Love your coolest, greatest, most favoritist niece,
Kimberly
