Ashlynn received an award this month along with two of her other classmates. She was SO excited and we made sure to tell her how proud we were of her. They also gave her a certificate for a free hamburger at In an Out which she insisted on redeeming as soon as we picked her up. I definitely wasn't complaining and made sure to get a double double (a double cheeseburger)at the same time:) For those who haven't seen her in glasses yet...she got them the week we left Hong Kong. I took her in because she was doing a weird blinky thing and we thought maybe she was having a reaction to the pollution. Well, she was but they noticed that she also had amblyopia. Which is a lazy eye in the sense that her right eye's vision was so bad that her brain blocked the visual reception of it and was only using the left eye. We had no idea! So, now she patches the right eye for four hours everyday and we are hoping the problem will correct itself before she turns seven; which is the age when her brain will finish developing this area. Poor girl! So her prescription in her right eye is a +9 and the left eye is nearly nothing. Fortunately this has helped her coordination as using only one eye gave her no depth perception and she was pretty clumsy. Another positive is that her allergies are completely gone now and we don't have to use the eye drops, can you imagine though if I didn't take her in that week and just waited to see if the problem would've corrected itself in clean air...we never would've known. She might have broken a leg next:)!
We have been enjoying lots of ballgames this year. For our ten year wedding anniversary (can you believe it's been that long?) I got Hoss season tickets. The modern ten year gift is diamonds and we all know he's not much of a diamond guy and I definitely liked the idea of going modern as it benefited me as well; so what better way to get a baseball guy diamonds then to give him 20 baseball diamonds in the form of season tickets? So yeah, that's him enjoying the game on one of the bright, sunny San Diego days. Our seats are great and the people on either side of us are fun too so we really look forward to it. And, in case you are wondering, he got me a three stone (one for the past, present and future) 2 carat diamond ring. I'm spoiled!
I have so many pictures of Brielle lately. We play all day while Ash is in school and there's so many more moments that my attention isn't divided so I can pause to take some cute pictures like this one; taken at our favorite part on Miramar base with long slides, swings, musical areas, spinney things and best of all it's fenced in! She's been wanting her hair braided like this lately; like "Hansel and Gretel" this day she told me, "now I look like a Hawaiian Hansel and Gretel!"
This day we were watching Lord of the Rings and she curled up in my legs and fell asleep:)
