I need to write a HUGE update with the amazing advances happening in our home, but seeing as I need to finish packing for a wedding we are flying to TONIGHT it will have to wait. I will say that Derby had his one month eye recheck. Now his right eye is turning in, the doctor had said that could happen. My poor little Derby. So now we have to patch his left eye for an hour a day to help strengthen the muscles in his right eye and he has to GET GLASSES. The glasses are not for any vision problems more to help correct the strabismus (lazy eye). We went to 3 different optical stores and looked online. Obviously stylish cool infant eye wear has yet to be invented. We tried on a cute pair of the flexible wire frames but we had to keep in mind that Loen will inevitably pull them off his face. So we went with the pair the doctor recommended as being the best and safest for a baby. They are so UGLY! The look like Mr. Potato Head glasses with a strap attached. I kid you not they don’t even have hinges. If you don’t believe me see for yourself.
I don’t understand how Loen was the one who had to come early but Derby is the twin who got the most problems. You would think it would be the other way around. I cant complain because the issues that they have had to deal with are small compared to what they could have been.
Ok I should sign off as I doubt the twins will pack their clothes themselves. They are so LAZY!

Maybe Derby (and his mom & dad) could take this as an entrepreneurial opportunity? I see Tadpole eye wear in his future

I’m chagrined to note that you’re completely overlooking the Elvis Costello-like appeal Derby has at his fingertips, here. Or should I say, ‘within eyesight’? He is one porkpie hat away from being a total ladies’ man.
My only regret in seeing the straps attached to his lady-magnet frames is that he won’t be able to casually pull them off to nibble the tip absentmindedly while he examines art in a gallery somewhere. Oh, girls. You didn’t stand a chance.

Anne: I am thinking of that Gaffigan joke about how smart people in the movies always whip off their glasses and suck on the tip while they are trying to solve a crisis but in their mind they are thinking “Eww this tastes like ear wax”
