2-weeks post LASIK

So, it has been two weeks since I had LASIK done. I enjoy the freedom of walking throughout the house. However, I am having some issues with driving. My vision is not as good as my doctor had hoped but my stubborn astigmatism is still hanging around and causing me some trouble. I have another two weeks before we know what the real out come is going to be. I hope it gets better or worse. If it gets better I will then be able to see clearly when driving, if it gets worse then I will be considered for a touch-up in a couple of months. If my vision stays where it is I will have to get glasses to drive. I am staying optimistic but I am a little worried. I do feel different without my glasses to hide behind.

Nate's First Haircut

I took Nate to get his first hair cut on Halloween. His hair was getting so long on top it was getting in his eyes and it just looked shaggy and akward. So, we (me and the sylist) bribed Nate with a sucker to follow her to the chair for his haircut. It worked like a charm! He did excellent and enjoyed his candy. I think he looks absolutly adorable with his new clean cut look, it makes him look like such a big boy.



I just realized that I don't have any pictures of Nate after his haircut. I will be taking one soon and getting it posted.

Halloween



We always enjoy Halloween, especially now that we have kids. Jeff has been lucky enough to get Halloween off every year since Madison was born, until this year. He worked diligently to try to find someone at work to trade with him in order to get the day off but in the end he still had to go to work Halloween night. Therefore, I got to get two little munchkins dressed and ready for trick-or-treating.



I was fortunate enough that my friend Rachel and her two kids were going with us as her husband was working that night as well, in fact he and Jeff work at the same place.



I also made the call to my in-laws for backup. Papa and granny were of course more than happy to spend an hour or so with the grand kids for Halloween, as they have for the last few years.



Here in Pendleton they do a safe Halloween downtown on Main street for the kids, it is great for the little ones. So we went downtown and got those kiddos some candy and I called it a night.






We went to our friends to hang out and Madi and her best friend Caiden handed out candy to kids that stopped by. I think Madi had more fun doing that than trick-or-treating. I even dressed up a little which I don't normally do.






We all had fun but I enjoy it much more when Jeff is there with us, maybe next year.
