was blind but now i see...

glad for a prompting that led to an eye appointment that led to a diagnosis of near blindness in my five year old's right eye. who knew? grateful that she can adjust before Kindergarten starts and enjoy the beauty of summer. she still might need a patch--the left eye has been doing all the work--and it also has an astigmatism. thank goodness for insurance--oh wait. she's not on the plan until January. I guess the pink Barbie designer frames will have to wait. For now, I think she looks pretty darn cute in these.

Yip Yip

not so much a fan of Zuko. oh well.

and Aang just needs to smile.

2010 can't come soon enough!

This one's for you, Briana

Tonight we had dinner and game night with good friends, Briana and Rob. (Ticket to ride--Briana scored 123, Rob 122, me 121, Dirk 114 just in case anyone was wondering). Briana asked me when i was going to update my blog. Because I am at Dirk's mercy for picture downloads, I am doing the next best thing: pics from email couresy of Briana.
Back in June, Rob arranged for an afternoon Thunder Mtn. train ride and dinner for Briana's birthday. They had extra tickets and took Andrew along with their son. I was the babysitter. Trading is a beautiful thing. Briana is watching Kam on Wednesday so hubby and me can go to HP and dinner--YAY!
Anywho, here are pics from their afternoon out

Thanks for taking Andrew. He had a great time!
