Friday night, we went shopping. I bought the girls some new winter clothes. They still need a few more things (tights, pants, shoes, etc.) but I got some cute things. Saturday, we had birthday pictures made and I bought Sweet Pea some new to her doll clothes and American Girl Bitty Twins that are practically new. She has not let those two dolls (plus the one she already had) out of her sight. Today, we visited with my family and celebrated the girls upcoming birthdays. The girls got some other clothes (that I had picked out for them) and some new Barbie furniture. I have some organizing and going through some old toys to do this week, in effort to make room for the stuff they currently have and for birthday and Christmas gifts coming up.
I do have a prayer request. I went to the eye doctor on Saturday, and will be going back again in a few days. It seems that my eyes are getting worse and the eye doctor has some theories but isn't quite certain of why they continue to worsen as fast as they are. It was quite comical that I was so upset but he referred to me as his Mt. Everest, in that my eyes are really quite horrible and a challenge to figure out because the slightest movement at the machine and the computer gets all confused, plus it is hard to find the right fit of contacts, etc...I won't continue to put you to sleep. The point of the matter is that my eyesight is progressively worsening at a fast pace and a couple of these theories could mean some serious surgery. While it is hopefully not the case, I am quite scared. I think about all of the times that I take for granted that I can see my children playing, that I can drive, I can watch television, I can take pictures, you get the point. I could lose all of that at any second. I could miss out on seeing all of those special moments that I look forward to in my children's lives. So now that you hear my fear, pray about it.
We have a busy couple of months coming up, yes I said months, as it seems I am booked every weekend through the end of November at this point. Hopefully, I will have some pictures and stories to show soon.
