Eye update and weather ramblings

We returned to the eye doctor yesterday for a checkup. He saw some improvement in Henry's amblyopic eye, so he wants us to patch for another month and see where that gets us before he prescribes glasses. The patching is still going pretty well, although we do have the occasional day (like today) where Henry keeps pulling it off. I think we're on patch #5 today. But most days it's no trouble at all. Most mornings he points to his eye and says "patch!" soon after he wakes up, as if to remind us to put it on.

Today we've been hit with a massive snowstorm. I think there's about 20 cm of snow on the ground, which is, um, LOTS of inches (never could do those metric-to-Imperial conversions). The city hasn't shut down, but things are definitely moving at a much slower pace, and the roads look dicey. But it doesn't matter to us because our five winters in Richmond trained me to run to the grocery store whenever snow is forecast, so we're well stocked with provisions. It's a day to lay low and start packing for our Christmas trip to California. . .
