Contact Lenses and camping

Learning to put in new contacts

So it's no secret Lily has despised her glasses.  Getting her to wear them has been a constant battle.  We found an ophthalmologist who would fit her for contact lenses.  She has done great!  She had absolutely no problem taking them in and out and has been so proud of herself!  Plus she actually likes to wear them.  I don't think she realized how much she really couldn't see without her glasses!

Also, we just came back from one of our annual camping trips with the Guatemalan Cuties crew.  It's so hard to believe how much they have grown and changed!

Lily continues to amaze me with her maturity.  She really does have a good head on her shoulders!  Tomorrow is the first day of 6th grade!  I am so thankful that she gets to stay in the same school!  I pray that she has an amazing year, makes some new friends, and that her faith becomes more and more personal for her!
