Post a Comment On: the us in russ

The Russes gave to me… A new set of eyes.[Image] [Image]  We never made a formal announcement because Lila insisted on keeping it a secret all year, so she could surprise her grandmas when we visited them last summer, but as many of you know, Lila got glasses. As part of the deal, she had to wear a patch for an hour every day for a few months. One of her eyes had a much stronger prescription, and if it didn’t have to work on its own, then her brain wouldn’t develop the machinery to process the sharper images produced by the glasses. I found a pattern off of the internet and Emily hand sewed a couple of patches for Lila. Then we let her decorate them however she wanted with stuff from the crafts box. My personal favorite was her googly eyed patch. [Image] As you see from the title of this post we are going to try and pull off the wildly popular 12 days of Christmas posts like we did last year. See the December 2008 posts if you are new (http://blog.russes.org/2008_12_01_archive.html). So over the next few days we will be catching you all up on the posts we planned but never did for 2009.
