Ok, the big surprise is that Macy got contact lenses!!!
Let me tell you,
she is SO STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!
She even let me take multiple pictures of her...
and she SMILED!!
From the very first photos we ever received of her when she was in China,
they were without her glasses...
then we noticed in many of the pics,
her glasses were in her hand, by her side.
And on Gotcha Day...
she walked into the room without them on.
Yet, she couldn't see a thing.
Her eyesight is really bad.
Anyway, we knew her confidence level was really low
because of them so once we knew for sure
she really wanted contacts,
we jumped on it.
Right when we got home from her eye appointment today,
she changed her Facebook profile pic!
Her old pic was not of her...but of Lucy.
Yeah, I'd say she needed a little boost to her confidence.
Anyway, we are all tickled for her!!
She had to work SO HARD at the eye doctor practicing
getting them in and out.
Bless those sweet almond-shaped eyes!
The doctor said she could come back another day
to try again if she was getting tired and
she said,
"No, I WILL get this!"
And she did.
It was a pretty special way to end the week.
Now she wants to go buy some funky new sunglasses!
Woo!
She looks amazing! Wow, how grown up! Tell her congrats from Dgo.
ReplyDeleteOh that is just soooooo exciting!!! I so needed to read a HAPPY story today.
ReplyDeleteShe looks absolutely beautiful.
I am so proud for her! This must be very exciting for her!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for not making me wait to long :)
YIPPPEEEE!!!!!! I'm so happy for her and her new found confidence!!! I wonder if in China there is more of a bad association with having glasses......here its just so not a big deal. I never thought about that! But maybe a whole new world has opened up for you guys! Yippee!!! Go Macy!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful BOTH with and without glasses - but how exciting! Way to go, girlfriend!
ReplyDeletehow WONDERFUL!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, I LOVE this!! She looks so happy :)
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good mama, Lori!! You knew just what your girl needed ;)
How exciting! She looks SO happy!
ReplyDeleteShe is so beautiful with or
without glasses! Does this mean
we will see more of that beautiful
face?
Absolutely darling!! I love her determination - it isn't easy to get them in your eye at first. What a sweet girl - I can see she is very happy with her new look and she should be. However, she was pretty stinkn' cute with glasses as well.
ReplyDeleteMacy - You are a beautiful girl, and your new look is wonderful! What an exciting day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love the big smile!!
ReplyDeleteAs an adult I still don't like to wear my glasses...it's contacts all the way:-)
macy you are beautiful with and without glasses!
ReplyDeleteOh Macy looks beautiful! I'm heading over FB right now to check out her pic. Good job, Mom!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful young lady! She is just beaming in this picture! I love it! So amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise! She's just radiant. I'm so happy for Macy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo! She looks so happy - and she still as beautiful as ever! I'm so excited for her!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting those silly things in your beautiful eyes, Macy! We are so excited for you!!
ReplyDeleteGood job Macy! Personally I liked the glasses, but that's just an old lady talking.
ReplyDeleteJust be sure to wash your hands carefully, I did not follow that advice and got an infection 2x and the eye doc advised me to go back to glasses...my bad.
She looks fabulous! :) So excited for her! I remember the day I was able to ditch my glasses. WOOHOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteooohhh, I am squealing with delight for her!! She is so adorable. So grown up. And oh my sweetness she looks happy! Way to go,
ReplyDeleteSomehow I just knew that was what the big surprise was about, but didn't want to post it in my earlier comment for fear of bursting your bubble.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful girl, with or without glasses.
Hugs,
Mandi
Yay!! She looks adorable and I love the smile on her face!
ReplyDeleteHow fun for her to have contacts! The funky sunglasses sound great!!
Congratulations Macy!
I am so excited for Macy and for you all! She looks beautiful (did before too) but I can remembering be a teen and wanting to get rid of my glasses too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had an awesome day!
Blessings,
Gayly
That is awesome!!!!! She looks absolutely beatuiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got contacts when I was 15, and have never looked back--I love them! I still have a pair of glasses for nighttime reading after I take my contacts out, and for emergencies (i.e., a torn contact), but I wear my contacts almost exclusively. I saved up for my first pair--$300 for a pair of toric lenses back then. I love the idea of funky sunglasses, but Macy will have to wear mine--since I have kids who like to get ahold of them and wear them, I don't buy any pair that costs more than about $10 these days! I used to have really great, cool Oakleys--years ago!
ReplyDeleteBless her sweet little heart! She looks SO adorable! I'm so happy for her and for her proud mama too... I know it makes you feel so good to do something that makes such a big difference to her! Next stop, lasik ;)
ReplyDeleteI have rarely left a comment but today I just had to. Macy is just absolutely beautiful!! That picture of her is so good! What an exciting day for her. :)Congrats on your new look, Macy!
ReplyDeleteShe looks so great! I remember switching over from glasses to contact and it was such a huge deal. So excited for Macy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic day for Macy!! She looks great...just in time for your trip to WA......
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise.
You're adorable, Macy! So beautiful! (But you were beautiful before too!!)
ReplyDeleteSO glad to see you smile!
Love the new look Macy, but loved the old one too. :) You do have a beautiful smile and are such a blessing to your family! More than you can even imagine.
