High Five for Friday!

I hope you all have been having a good week!  Nothing too fancy going on around here, but here are the highlights!

1. Top of this week's list is a baby-holding session!  Our friends Mike and Kelsey brought a beautiful baby girl into this world a few weeks ago and we finally got to meet her this week!  I always forget how tiny (and fragile seeming) new babies are.  To hold a new little person in your arms is such a precious, humbling thing.  I know what half of you are thinking about here- "when are you going to have kids?!," to which my reply would be unless you want to come and care for my child while I go to school then it's gonna be a few years. :)  In the meantime I will just enjoy holding every else's babies!

2.  I heard one of my favorite songs on the radio this week.  I know, I know... we live in the land of ipods and MP3s and I could just have it at hand to play over and over and over again, but I still enjoy the thrill of a song you love randomly catching the airwaves.  This plays on the radio by the David Crowder Band, but it was written by a guy named John Mark McMillan, who I got to hear while at Auburn.

3.  Three Optometry school organization meetings this week meant 3 free lunches.  Can't beat that!

4.  I finally got our recycling organized!  We try to recycle as much as possible, but it's just piled up in random boxes lately and was not very easy to take to the recycling center that way.  This week I "installed" some bins on our balcony/porch and added some cute labels. :)  Organizing trash probably shouldn't make a person this happy...

5.  A few things I learned this week (top left, clockwise):  how we see colors, all about the anterior chamber and how aqueous humor exits it, how the cornea is optically clear, the refractive power of the cornea and why you can't see clearly under water!  It's been an interesting week, huh?

We hope you all have a great weekend!
