Busy week!

October already? Guess it's time to start thinking about holiday shopping! lol.

This was a busy week for us. On Wednesday, Kim was promoted to Assistant Director. (And for those of you who watch The Office, yes she's Assistant Director...not Assistant to the Director!). She'll be doing mostly the same things, just with more responsibilities.

Thursday began a three-day session of eye appointments for Eric. He had a pre-op for LASIK on Thursday afternoon, and after being poked and prodded, found out he was a good candidate for the surgery. So, on Friday afternoon, Kim drove him to the doctor and waited while his eyes were lasered. Eric came out a bit groggy and wearing bug eyes and slept most of the afternoon and evening. However, he was super excited to wake up from his nap to find out he could read the alarm clock! Saturday morning, Eric got up super early to go back to the doctor for a post-op exam. His eyes are healing great, and while he doesn't have 20/20 vision yet, it's looking very good that he'll get there.

While Eric was at the doctor on Saturday morning, Kim oversaw the installation of our new furnace and a/c unit. The HVAC guys laughed at the size of our old unit (apparently it was infinitely too small for our house), so it's probably a good thing we got this new one in! We're also excited because we now have a digital/programmable thermostat. Hopefully that helps with regulating temperatures (and keeping costs down!) this winter.

Saturday afternoon we were able to attend a meet and greet for our niece, Addison. It was great to finally get to meet her, as well as see Melissa and Dave! Kim loved holding her, and Eric showed his great uncle skills when he changed her diaper. In fact, a whole crowd of moms gathered around to watch him change the diaper and to offer their advice. haha.





Today we got to eat lunch with Grandpa and Mary as they passed through town. It was great to spend a little time with them and hear about their trip.

As you probably know by now, the Bears won their game today. And yes, our flags were flying high (you're welcome!).
