Dilated Eyes, A Baby Visit, February Birthdays

It had been a while since Glen's last eye check-up. He was down to his last pair of reading glasses. Those were breaking. So that's what got him to go see an eye doctor.

These are some heavy duty temporary sun glasses they gave him after he got his eyes dilated.

We were just a few short minutes away from Sarah and the new baby, so we decided to drop in for a visit. Look at how tiny the little guy is compared to Glen's hand.

Jeff had taken Eli and Carson to get their hair cut. It was a quiet house with them gone. Sarah and I had a nice visit while Glen had a nice nap.

Later that day, we went to Texas Roadhouse for Rebecca's birthday.

This little girl looked happy to be out celebrating. Her first birthday was the following week.

Brooke was freezing, so she was happy when her grandpa let her wear his coat.

Look at those ribs!!

These are the striped-shirted people.

Rebecca is on the birthday saddle with the waiter yelling "YEE HAW!!!!!!"

Birthday ice cream.

Rachel and Maggie were the only February birthday people who were there for Mom and Dad's birthday dinner celebration. Amanda made the cutest birthday cake.

Clint has been recovering from foot surgery the past couple of months. He gets to look forward to having the same kind of surgery done on his other foot when this one gets fully recovered.

Austin and Lindsey have set their wedding date for June 25th.

We will look forward to seeing the wedding cake Amanda makes for that special occasion. She has become quite the expert cake decorator.

Quotes of the Week

"Expect problems and eat them for breakfast." 

 -- Alfred A. Montapert 

"Today is a brand new day. A fresh start. Replace any negativity with positivity. Think happy thoughts. Exercise. Drink lots of water. Fill your body with fuel. Healthy is happy. Inspire yourself. Create. Laugh. Play. Love. Learn. Give someone a compliment. Make a new friend. Do a random act of kindness. It creates good karma. Take chances and finally start living life to its fullest. But no matter what's thrown at you today, smile and remember, tomorrow's always a fresh new start."
