From The Past: May 23, 2007

The kids had the day out of school yesterday because of the primary election, so this was the perfect day to have Ashley’s eyes examined for contact lenses.

She hates her glasses and this was all she asked for from us for her birthday. It’s a little early; her birthday is June 3rd, however we wanted to make sure we had the money and the contacts were in on time.

As you can see below, she refuses to have her picture made with her glasses on:

They actually had the contacts she needed right there and we didn’t have to order them and wait as is our usual process with Kevin and Andrew. Her eyes aren’t near as bad as theirs are though.

Here she is trying to put a contact in for the first time:

It only took her about 15 minutes per eye to get them in. That’s a very good time I think.

I’m glad she was able to get them yesterday so that she could wear them the last two days of school. She was so excited; she called all of her friends as soon as we got home.
