A couple of months ago, Faith had a basic health screening and we discovered that Faith had a pretty severe stigmatism in one of her eyes. But what is amazing is that her vision is 20/20 when she is using both of her eyes. Her "good eye" has been compensating for the weak eye, our opthamologist said it would have been incredibly easy for the screeners to miss the problem! But PRAISE THE LORD that they did find it! If we had not discovered it when we did, there could have been a good chance that Faith would have stopped using her weak eye altogether and gone blind entirely in that eye.
The first course of action was to get her glasses. In another couple of months, we will have another appointment with the eye doctor to see if the glasses are helping Faith see out of her weak eye. We are hopeful that it will help, otherwise, she will have a patch for a period of time to help strengthen the weak eye.
Faith has a friend at church that wears glasses, so she was extremely receptive and excited about getting glasses, which was a big blessing!
It It was a super busy week with all the birthday celebrations. Faith was a tuckered out girl, on our way to pick up Faith's glasses, she fell asleep.
(Thank you Aunt Beth, Uncle Nate, Luke, and Ruth Ann for Faith's cute new shirt for her birthday.)

My beautiful girl excited (and a little tired too) about getting her new glasses!
The best of friends and sisters, Faith and Jillian
The glasses were still too big at this point...
so we sent it back to be re-sized and had fun looking in the mirror.
Hooray! Faith with her new glasses and our family ALL excited for her! :-)
After we got the glasses, we went to our friends, the Glenn's house! First, we had some fun leaf fun. Mr. Andrew thought of the fun game of jumping off the ladder into the leaf pile.
Then we enjoyed a delicious dinner and afterwards, we had a parade of musicians!
They were the cutest little music-makers,
with the prettiest smiles,
\and biggest singing voices too...
I have ever seen or heard! Thank you Glenn family for celebrating this big milestone in Faith's 5 year old life with our family! :-)
