Eye Doctors

Today was eye doctor day. Matthew said Miranda could go first so he could watch. As you can tell, Miranda was thrilled with the decision.



As always, Miranda did very well on her eye exam. She has better then perfect vision.

You may notice Matthew is sporting his new dew, or should I say, lack of it. We both got hair cuts yesterday, but he went for a #1 super short buzz.
Matthew having fun playing the "E" game. Since he does not know all his letters, he points in the direction of the "E".




Matthew was so good with the dilation drops, not a tear. Just after getting his drops Matthew was crawling on the floor, he could not see. He tried looking at a book and could not see a thing. Miranda on the other hand can read and write with her eyes dilated. She says she has magic eyes, I'm starting to believe her.

Miranda checked out A-OK after the doctor checked her eyes.


Matthew did not do so well, he is far-sided. Not ready for glasses, but we need to kept an eye on him (pun intended). Next year they will see if he has any improvement.


After the eye exam, we headed out for the buy one, get one half price at the shoe store. Miranda got some cool sneeks and Matthew pick out a nice pair of hiking shoes.

We finished off the day at Subway with Turkey all around.

Art Show at Vassar college


Miranda's paper mache bird was on display at "A Celebration of Children's Art" hosted by the Department of Education at Vassar College in the James W. Palmer III '90 Gallery this past week. We also saw creations by her friends Lindsey, Soleil, Kiley and Kelly on display at the Art Show. All the kids did a wonderful job on their projects. They are very creative.





After visiting the Art Show, Matthew wanted to take some time to play with his Leapster while taking in the sights at Vassar.

Jump Rope for Heart


Miranda and her friend entered in the Jump rope for heart fund raiser after school on Friday. While Miranda and her friend were jumping, I took the time to test out my new Nikon D700 that can take pictures in low light without flash.







When they were done, the school raised over $3000.00 for the American Heart Association.
