An Outside Day

Last night was a better night. Noah woke up at 5am and then again at 6:30am. Evan slept until about 9:00.

This morning we met Yenis and Kevin at the lake. Yenis and I ran most of the way to the Auditorium Shores water fountains. That’s about half way around the lake. We stopped and let the boys play in the water for a while. Noah seemed even more comfortable this time. He went right in the water. Evan and Kevin had a good time splashing each other. After playing in the fountains we made our way back to the trail.

As we were almost back on the trail we heard a train coming over the bridge. Evan, Kevin, and Noah got very excited. We waited for the train to cross the bridge. It even blew its horn. Noah kept saying, “woo, woo!”. We started walking, but both Evan and Kevin wanted us to stop and wait until the whole train had passed before we started again. It was a long train!

Yenis and I ran/walked the rest of the trail to get back to our cars.

Morry worked from home today. He took Mottel to a specialty vet because our regular vet couldn’t figure out why Mottel had lost so much weight. The vet ran another, more sensitive thyroid test just to make sure it really isn’t a thyroid problem. Hopefully we’ll get the test results in a few days.

When we got home from the lake we ate lunch. During lunch we Skyped with Grandma/Lynn and Bubbe. Evan actually ate a really good lunch while we were Skyping. He ate a ton of veggies and all of the leftover shrimp. Evan sang the ABCs with Bubbe. Skype is pretty cool.

The boys took really good naps.

Blanca came at 3:00. I tutored and got home at 7:00. For dinner we had already made HEB hamburgers (we just had to heat them) and a pasta side.

We just put the boys to bed and it seems to be quiet.
