My baby girl turned 1 yesterday. Where did the year go? I know every adult says things like this, but seriously, it seems like yesterday that she just came home from the hospital. She is learning so much every day. She walks, chases Piper, climbs, talks, and I am sure a whole host of other things that I still have not realized.

Overall, I think she had a good day, although to her, I am sure it was just another day. We are celebrating her birthday, and Piper's birthday, this coming weekend. I cant wait to see her dig into her cake and get to experience that sugar high for the first time. Of course, the house is going to be crazy with all the kids running around and the extra adults in the house, but I am still looking forward to it. I am also looking forward to doing the castle cake for the girls. This was Piper's choice. Then for the guest, they will be getting ice cream cone cakes. I have actually never had one myself, but the looked so very adorable that I couldn't resist trying them out.

Wal-mart

My glasses were lost / stolen this last week, so now I need to go to the eye doctor and have and exam and get new glasses. Really, it's not too big of a deal because my eye sight has changed and I needed new glasses; they just weren't in the budget at the moment. Todd called the eye doctor office about his glasses today and then tried to schedule an appointment for me to get my eyes checked. The quickest appointment they have is on Sept. 16th. That just won't work because about a week after that, I have to have my license renewed and I don't think i will pass the eye test that the DMV gives you without glasses. I am now stuck with going to the Wal-mart Eye Center. I am not really all that happy about this. Of course, Todd and my mother in law both think I am just being stuck up and look at Wal-mart as being cheap. Honestly, that's not it. I guess I do question the expertise behind a doctor that works at Wal-mart, but more to my agitation is that fact that any time I go into Wal-mart, it is always so crowded and people are always so rude! I also got my last pair of glasses from Wal-mart, just the frames and the lenses, nothing extra, and paid more for them there than what Todd paid for his with the scratch guard and glare protection at the doctor's office. However, I need glasses and dont really have the time, so I guess I will suck it up, deal with the crowded place, the rude people, and pay more for just the frames and lenses with "no frills" than I would if I could go to the regular eye doctor.
