Cheaper And Safer

Date of occurrence:
August 18, 2025.

Kc has decided to get contact lenses. That turns out not to be as easy as it sounds. The eye exam reveals the pressure in his eyes is too high.

He is prescribed eye drops and has to come back in two weeks to check his eyes again. Two weeks later, the pressure has dropped, but not enough yet. Another round of eye drops later, he finally gets his contacts.

The first couple of days are a disaster.

Kc has trouble getting his contacts in.

The third day it takes him 20 minutes.

He scratches his eye during the process.

The contacts hurt now and he has to take them out.

He didn’t get glasses for back up. His old pair is broken. Now what?

He has to take off from work, go back to the eye glass place, and hope he can get glasses asap. He is blessed. They are ready within a few hours.

Thank goodness for that. His eye has to heal before he can try the contacts again. 

It seems to me that glasses are the cheaper and safer option!

The Middle

For Isabella it’s back to middle school. She is fine with it, but not overly excited. She is more interested in which teachers she gets. She is a little worried when she gets home.

Bella tells her mom:

”One of my teachers has a lazy eye. 

I don’t know which eye to look in.”

Mom laughs:”Confusing, huh?”

Bella:”Yeah!”

Mom:”Just look in the middle.”

Excellent advice!👍

It is that time again.

Back to school.

The girls are excited.

They ride the same bus.

Which is a good thing.

They can keep an eye on each other.

But, first things first.

Getting on the bus and back to school.

Have a great day, girls! Thinking of you!

So Cute

Kc and his girlfriend are going out to dinner.

They are all dressed up.

They look so pretty and cute together.

They can’t go without me taking a picture first.

That’s done quickly and off they go.

Bon appetit, guys!

Never To Old

Date of occurrence:

It is getting awfully quiet.

All the kids have disappeared.

I find them in the guest bedroom.

They are all playing together.

That goes to show you…

No one is ever to old to have fun!

Incoming

It is good to see the girls. Londyn gives me a hug and smiles big.

Wait. What do I see?

Me:”You lost a baby tooth?!”

Londyn:”Yeah, and the big one is coming in.”

I ask her to give me a good smile.

It sure is growing fast.

I guess the rest will follow suit.

Watch out! Incoming teeth! lol.

Happy Girl

Lily, Londyn, and their mom are coming by today. We have another gift for Lily’s birthday and they come to pick it up. 

Lily tells us all about her shopping trip and when she is done, we give her the present. She dives in the gift bag and fishes out a phone.

She thinks it got in there by accident and hands it to aunt A.

Aunt A.:”That is not mine,”

Lily then hands it to me.

Me:”Not mine either.”

Lily is confused:”Then… whose is it?”

Simultaneously we say:”Yours!”

Lily is so happy. She finally has her own iPhone.

We called it! Grin.

Happy Birthday, Lily!

Lily turns 10 years old today.

Her wish is to have a shopping spree, just like Bella did.

Mom is happy to comply.

And we are happy to contribute.

Lily has a wonderful day and buys lots of stuff.

That’s great. Happy birthday Lily Vanilly!

Emmaly has her learner’s permit.

She is mighty proud and shows us. 

She has been driving a few times.

She also drove on the highway twice.

I ask her how she liked it.

Her response?

Emmaly:”It was TERRIFYING!”

We laugh. Don’t worry, girl.

Practice makes perfect!
