OHSU Casey Eye Institute Easter Egg Hunt

We were invited to the CEI Easter Egg Hunt because Tate is a patient there. They put this on every year for the kids. It was so much fun!

Logan gets a little shy whenever there is a lot of people around.

Tate LOVES all the people.

Brad with Chunky Monkey.

The boys with the Easter Bunny.

They had a bounce house and a petting zoo and all these games.

Being that it is an Eye Center, they had an Easter Egg for the seeing impaired. The eggs actually beeped so that the children who could not see could find the eggs. They invited other children to be blind folded and try it out. Tate was all over that.

Tate had his face painted after he saw another little boy with this. This is actually a really good picture of Tate prosthetic eye...it is obviously the one with out red eye.

Brittany's East Sign...so cute!

Lori's Happy Birthday Sign...did you give it away or keep it??

I made a Happy Birthday Sign for Logan's Birthday which was a Mickey Mouse Party.

Again, this idea was from Molly's blog:
Tuesday's with Molly

Thanks Molly!

Being silly with the boys.

We have been so happy with how Tate's prosthetic eye has turned out. The color was matched perfectly. I am so amazed at the process. We go in for adjustments and buffing to keep it shiny. As Tate's eye socket grows he will have new eyes made. And, no, your eye does not not grow, just the eye socket.

Another interesting piece of information: you might wonder what one might use on a prosthetic if it is dry. Not eye drops, but oil. The recommend Saffola (oil) from the neighborhood grocery store. We just put a drop on our finger and touch his eye and it works its way in.

Another project complete...

Largest Sitka Spruce Tree...at least it WAS!

It snapped in a wind storm in 2007. It is still really cool to see.

My sweet boys.

I love it when my boys get along!

St. Patrick's Day Sign

My friend Molly inspired me to start doing more crafts. I started with this...an idea I got from her blog Tuesday's with Molly

It was for St. Patrick's Day and said "Kiss Me"
