Life Lesson # 321: Don't let your child get a henna tattoo while in a foreign country

So Brady and I were in the car on our way to Wiggle Time, our favorite hangout spot, when she announced that her arm was itching. I turned to see a perfect rash along the outline of the giant peacock henna tattoo she had to have while we were in Mexico. Mind you, this tattoo was painted on almost 10 days ago, but since Brady has been known to have an allergic reaction to various detergents, lipglosses, and an assortment of other items, I wasn't totally surprised to see the rash. We made a pit stop at the pharmacy to pick up some cream, only to hear a story from the pharmacist about a buddy of his that had this same type of reaction to a henna tattoo-FOUR YEARS LATER, the tattoo finally went away-I was mortified!! Seriously, if this doesn't go away, the possibility that I might have to home school our youngest daughter is not out of the question. After all, it does clearly state in the Putnam County Dress Code that students are to have no visible tattoos, and at the moment, Brady has an elaborate peacock on her arm. Let's all say a little prayer tonight that the cream clears this little problem up. I know it's one of those things I will probably laugh about in years to come, but for the moment, I am having a bit of difficulty coping.

Don't forget to log on and donate to MDA! I will be locked up on September 10th, and I still need to collect lots of bail $$! If you missed the link in the last post, it is:

You'll be helping out a great cause!

On to pictures! I had the pleasure of working with Katy and Scott for the first time a few weeks ago. I will be photographing their wedding in Nashville in November, and I am really looking forward to it! We met at Pinkerton Park in Franklin and got some great shots. Here are some of my favorites:
