NSD 2009




Today is National Scrapbook Day. May is also the National Scrapbook Month in case you were wondering. Pretty cool actually. The online community was full of freebies, classes and sales today. I did a few layouts to celebrate the occasion. I really like the one with Mike and Sarah.

Did you notice anything missing in Jamie's picture? This is his first week with contacts. Lots of memories came flooding back watching him at the optometrist office. I totally remember trying to get those things in and out way back in junior high. This is completely his decision. He has been offered contacts many times before. He chooses them now because he is blind as a bat without them. He knows he will be lost at the pool and beach without them. Seriously, his vision is terrible. The doctor said it is pretty extreme for his age. This is our third prescription in 18 months. I keep getting notes from the school and complaints from Jamie about his vision. People, the insurance only pays for one exam and pair of glasses per year. I guess it's the age. He is growing but it still seems extreme. I am still trying to figure out who he is every time I look at him. He also deserves a round of congratulations. He tried out for the junior high jazz band on the piano and made it. He will be one of two keyboardists. I can't wait to hear them perform. Jamie was thrilled to make it. His best friends will be in it also. James will play guitar.

We went to see the Wolverine movie today. It was good but it was pretty dark and violent. Much more so than the previous 3 X-Men movies. The theater was full of little kids. It was definitely not a little kid film. Hugh Jackman was of course excellent. Several scenes could have been deleted to improve the film. It was more depressing than fun.
