Summer goals included golf.

Finally all 4 of us got out tonight.

It was cold.

It was wet. (really wet!)

It was cold.

Did I mention it was wet? Umbrella

Our shoes started to squish when we walked.

It was fun. Smile

Sam shoots left handed in hockey, swings a bat left handed, and we bought him left handed clubs for his birthday (he doesn’t know that yet! shhhhhWinking smile) and he’s been using a old right handed set we have so tonight we borrowed some from the clubhouse that were left handed jr. clubs. Oh my did it prove to be a night to not be in a hurry. 3 hours to get the four of us around 9 holes.

Did I tell you it was cold…. oh and wet?

It was fun though.

I had my first birdie- it was pretty- here is where my shot off the tee landed. (Rick and Sam using their feet to give a little perspective Smile )

On the 9th hole Eric had a chip shot from about 40 yards out that he sunk into the hole! That was fun but of course I was so wet (and cold) I didn’t get a picture.

When we got home we peeled off our wet shoes and socks- I took a LONG HOT shower, found my cozy fleece jammies and curled up with a blanket. – June 6th it is today. I’m sure of it, that is what all my calendars say.

I may have said this already but it’s cold and wet and it’s been that way for a while now.   what seems like forever!

Oh and I was going to try to not mention this but for reasons of accurate record keeping I better.

I beat Rick tonight.

Yep I did thank you very much Smile 

First time ever.

Heaven

The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
