2005 April 14 « Leah, Emma and Claire (and Jen and John)

I found the charger.The weather had been beautiful and we have been out for a few hours every afternoon. I am really going to miss how close we are to everything in the condo and I guess I'm on my farewell tour!

The girls are doing really well. They have started to do stuff when we ask them. Emma will blow raspberries on command (complete with drool!) and Leah started clapping yesterday. They are both so cute sometimes - we're so lucky to have the both of them.

Some of you may remember when I lost my license in 2002 because of a mix up with my opthamologist that took 3 months to correct. Last week, I finally went to change my name on my license (part of the farewell tour) only to be told that my license expired in July of 2003. WHAT???? I asked all the obvious questions but I guess what can you expect. These are the same people who took 3 years to suspend my license after getting questionable test results. Because it expired over a year ago, I had to take a vision test. I'm very wary of eye doctors now - in fact the plan had been to never go back so this whole situation seemed like a very cruel joke. After stressing and stressing, I just booked an appointment with an optometrist across the street. The optometrist I met was fantastic. He listened to me and the first thing he did was make me read the chart. A few lines in he told me to stop worrying…I had just read what was required to legally drive. In the end he gave me a prescription for reading/watching tv but no glasses for driving. I was so relieved. I know I can see but history has proven that most eye doctors don't believe me!

So now that that is over with I am back to focusing on moving. I got some bubblewrap today and wrapped up some of our pictures. We are going to buy boxes this weekend and then things will move quickly. It's very hard to pack with the girls. They are so nosy and they just want to play with whatever I'm doing.

Here are some pictures. I've also included one of my cousins kids - Kieran and Sandra's daughter Aby, Catherine and Adrian's son Terry.
