Somehow, no matter how big and independent the girls get I still think of them as this old.

and with sick buckets on their heads......

Merc is home for a visit before moving far away again. Oh to be young and fearless. We do have a time when she's here.

She even got me to do her nails. We added leopard spots to a French.

Then she went and played with her littlest cousin. Came home with a nail makeover. Very cute!

Here is her bedside table all ready and waiting for her. Wish we could keep her forever!
