Monday, March 8, 2010

I just got back from the eye doctor and had the bandage contacts removed from my eyes.   My vision is about 20/100 so excuse any typos.  I can't see really well quite yet but that is normal at this point.  It is pretty amazing that we live in a time when this surgery is possible.  Everyone who has had it done says it is awesome and as soon as I can read anything I'll add myself to that list.  Right now I can't read any street signs and had to actually get out of my car to check and see if I was about to go off a curb or if it was the exit.  I am definitely a menace on the road (more than usual) and stay home as much as possible.

I just signed the whole family (even Adam) up today for a membership at the YMCA.  They have a lot of neat programs and I'm loooking forward to signing the kids up for swimming, baseball, and summer camp.    The kids don't need as much cough syrup to get to sleep at night if they get enough exercise each day.  They have free child care while you exercise so I am excited to get back into a routine and Ivy will like going and hanging out with kids for an hour a day. 

I have the last 2 weeks in June off and we are planning on coming to Idaho for a visit.  If we stay long enough everyone will probably stop missing us. 

We found a giant frog the other night and took some pictures of him with the kids.  I will have Seth post them when he can - I can't really see which ones are any good. 

We are all doing well.  The kids are starting to give the "Gaglione's"  a bad reputation around the apartment complex so it is good we'll be here for only a few more months.  The kids get out of school the last week in May and hopefully we have a home by then.  House-hunting is awful - I'm ready for the realtor to tell us where we have to live and I will adjust to whatever.  It is really a difficult decision but when we bought our house in Jerome, as nasty as it was, it just felt right.  I'm hoping for that same feeling here. 

We love you all and hope to talk to you soon.  Julie

  1. Hi Julie, I am glad you got a blogspot-it's just so much easier to keep tabs on everyone. It's good to hear you are all doing well. That's exciting about your surgery. It'll be great when you can see. Lily is doing well. We have a pretty good schedule going although that'll all go away as soon as I go back to work. Then Roo gets to deal with her! Tell the kids we said hi and we will talk to you soon.

  2. Congrats on the eye surgery Julie! David had that done several years ago. Anytime the kids see pictures of him with glasses on they don't know who it is! He was really glad he made the decision to have it done. I hope that the healing goes well for you. I think we too will be in Jerome the 3rd week in June, I'm not sure yet. I would be great to have a get together.

    We're excited to see the frog you found. The kids and I love to see what everyone has been up to.

    Good luck with the house hunt. I know the frustrations that come with that. You are right about one thing. When the right one comes along.... you'll know!

    Hugs to you all! Angie
