As I just fired off in an email to Scott, it’s been a bit of a big week here at our house. Mixed in with the usual routine has been:<\/p>\n
Quinn got his braces. We knew it was coming, and in fact at one point,Quinn actually WANTED braces, but he’s got them now and I don’t think he’s enjoying it a whole lot. His teath are achy, obviously, and all the chaffing that happens. It’ll settle down soon I’m sure, but he’s a whiney guy like his Dad. So that was Monday. Last night, he got invited to the Guns N Roses concert, at the last minute, by a friend and his Dad. I have to admit that we were getting worried around 2:00 (I had heard that the show would go late…1:00 ish), so I called the Police non-emergency number to find out if the show was over or what (where else can you call?!). They had obviously received a lot of calls, because the constable that I talked to said she had checked about 10 minutes earlier and it was expected to be over by 2:20. Late night, and needless to say we all slept in.<\/p>\n
And TODAY, Shelley had her eyes “laser corrected” so she won’t need glasses any more. She’s upstairs right now, sitting in bed with her sunglasses on (24 hours of that), listening to a “book on tape” (no TV or reading for 24 hours). They are hurting her now that the freezing has worn off, but she has some numbing drops to take right before bed that will help. She should be good after a few days. Already she can read more with her glasses off than I can, so it’s close. She’s wanted to do this for years because she WAS as blind as a bat without glasses or contacts.<\/p>\n
I think that’s it. Dylan and I are just trying to be accommodating of our sore achy family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
