New Eyes...

Apparently my oldest 2 girls have inherited my vision, or lack thereof..both needed glasses this year. Leah is near-sighted & Macey is far-sighted...how is that for being different? I think they look absolutely adorable in them!!!
Mac was concerned when we were picking our frames....the claimed they had "too much bling" on them... :)
