Eventful Lunch

Noah slept late today.  He slept until almost 10am.  I didn't want to wake him up because I figured he needed to get some sleep.  We got to school late.

We had someone come to the house today to help with some of the lighter cleaning.  She did laundry and cleaned the boys' rooms.  We might set something regular up where she comes either every week or every other week and does bigger cleanings every few times.

I ran some errands and when I got home there was a message on our our machine.  One of Evan's friends had thrown up at lunch and it got all over Evan's lunch and the kid on the other side of him.  The school gave Evan a new lunch from the cafeteria.   The message was from the sick kid's mom calling to apologize and say how badly her son felt.  I got an email from the teacher later on too telling me what happened.  He asked if we wanted to keep the lunch bag (nice Spiderman lunchbox), I said "no thanks."  I did not want to deal with cleaning that up.

I picked up Noah from school and we went to Walmart.

We came home for a minute and got on the bike to pick up Evan from school.

I tried asking Evan about what happened at lunch.  He didn't seem that affected by it at that time.  I asked if he ate the new lunch and he said not much because his leg was shaking.  I think all the excitement got to him.

The boys had tennis this afternoon.  They enjoyed it, but it was really hot and muggy outside today.

We had leftovers for dinner and I tutored a student at the Starbucks near our house.

Morry gave the boys a shower and got them ready for bed.

They were still awake when I got home.

Taking it easy

Today, was a pretty easy day.

We stayed at home this morning.  I made a big fruit salad for lunch and of course it was finished.  The boys ate a lot.

Evan had a birthday party to go to at 1pm.  Most of the parents dropped off the kids.  Morry stayed with Evan for a little bit and then came back home.

Evan had a great time at the party. It was a sports party will lots of stations and activities.  His good friends from school were there.

This afternoon Morry ran out the HEB to get a few things and picked up a movie from Redbox.

We told the boys that if they cleaned up we'd watch a movie.  So, they cleaned up and Morry picked up Johnny English.

For dinner we made pizza and I made an oreo cake for dessert.

The boys seemed to like the movie. 

Evan and Noah are ready for bed.  It sounds quiet.  I'm guessing Evan's already asleep.  We'll see.

Another Busy Saturday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

While not quite as packed as last Saturday, we had a bunch of things going on today.  The day started early as Evan had a 9am baseball game.  We were asked to get to the field for warmups at 8:15am.  Evan and I left a bit early and stopped each got a donut.  We were at the field early and got some good practice in.

The game went well Evan's team won and Evan hit a triple.  Then when he scored, he insisted on sliding into home plate.

From there we drove to a karate facility.  We signed Noah up for karate class.  We felt like there wasn't as much competition in it and that it would give him something of his own.  Evan and I got there early because we didn't have enough time to go home so we drove straight from the field to the location.  When Noah got there, he seemed very excited.  He seemed to really enjoy the class.  Today was a free trial but we signed him up for a month.

We came home and had lunch.  Then a boy from Evan's baseball team, Josh, came over to play with Evan and Noah.  The three boys played well at the team party last week.  Josh and Evan play together a lot before and after games so we invited him over.  The boys played really well together.  Josh did not want to leave.  It was really nice.

When Josh left, Evan went out in the backyard throwing the baseball up in the air and catching it.

We then went to Play It Again Sports.  Evan's friend Miles is having a birthday party tomorrow.  In lieu of gifts they asked us to donate gently used baseball equipment to RBI Austin which is a non-profit that helps underprivileged youth play baseball.

We went to dinner at Hyde Park Bar and Grill and then went to Central Market to get some fruit.

The boys are now in Evan's room.

Until next time...

Bike Shop

This morning the boys went to school without any problems.

I got some stuff done at home.  Morry and I went to the bank and then got smoothies at Smoothie King.

When I got Noah at school he had 2 band-aids on his knees.  He had fallen down while walking outside at recess and scraped his knees a little.  It didn't look that bad, but they said he bled just a little.

I rode the bike to get Evan at school.

This afternoon Morry and the boys played baseball in the front yard.

We all went to Bicycle Sport Shop.  We wanted to get Evan's bike checked out, make sure it was safe, and see if it was the right size for him.  They said his bike was fine, safety wise. He has a 16 inch bike now.  They had a little chart for kids to stand next to that tells them what size bike they need.  Evan was right on the line between a 20 inch bike and a 24 inch bike.  Noah was at 16 inch bike.  We had Evan get on a 24 inch bike and it was a little too big for him. They suggested we wait a while to buy one since he's not quite at the right size for the 24, but would very quickly grow out of the 20.   Maybe we'll see if we can get a used 20 inch on Craigslist or something in the meantime.  We did get a kickstand installed on Evan's current bike.

For dinner we ate at Homeslice.  We called ahead for pick-up and sat at a table in their pick-up/to-go side of the building.  The boys were good.  Evan ate a lot of pizza.  He had 3 of the big slices.

On the way home we stopped at People' Pharmacy to get some vitamins for me.

The boys are ready for bed now and hopefully they'll go to sleep soon.  We have a big day tomorrow - baseball game, Noah's trial karate class, Evan's friend from baseball coming over.

Another Baseball Game

Let's see...

This morning Morry took Evan to school like always.  Evan finished his breakfast quickly and wanted to go to school early.  Morry made him wait a little bit longer before they left.

Morry had a meeting at home this morning.

Noah and I went to Sports Class.  They did Karate again this week.  Noah had fun.

Noah came with me on the bike to pick up Evan from school.

Evan had a baseball game at 5:45 tonight.  They tied.

We came home and ate leftovers for dinner.

In a few minutes we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Normal Wednesday

Today I drove Noah to school, got some stuff done at home, and then went to Pilates.

I stopped at home, got the bike, and rode to pick up Noah.  Noah was happy to ride the bike home.  It's a good workout for me. It's tough on some of the hills.

At home, I ate lunch, made a business phone call and then rode to get Evan.

For dinner we had crockpot chicken and rice.

After dinner we took a walk.  Noah insisted on riding in the stroller.  Evan rode his scooter.

We gave the boys a shower and now they are in bed.

Evan's Zoo Field Trip

Today was Evan's first class field trip.  They took school buses to the zoo.  Evan was excited to ride on  a school bus for the first time.  I was not able to go because they did not allow siblings.  Evan told me he had a good time.

Noah and I went to 7-11 because Noah said he wanted a Slurpee.  I needed to run some errands, so I thought it might help him get through those few errands.

After 7-11 we went to Sunflower for some groceries, then to the library to drop off some items.

There's a nice little park by the library that we call the Old School park. It has a lot of the equipment you don't see much any more.  There were see-saws, a merry-go-round, jungle gym, big slide, etc.  Noah was very excited to try the merry-go-round.  He liked it.  We had a picnic lunch there and then played a little bit more.

Noah stayed at home while I rode my bike to get Evan from school.

I tutored one student this afternoon and Morry took both boys to Evan's baseball practice.  I stopped at the practice to pick up Noah on the way home.

I got dinner ready while Morry and Evan were at baseball practice.   We had leftovers from last night.

The boys are ready for bed and Morry is reading to them.

Here's a picture from Evan's field trip today.

OMG

Today Evan rode his bike to school and Noah also biked to school.  Well, Noah rode on the back of my bike, but still, he was excited to ride his bike to school.  He wanted me to tell his teachers when we got there.

After I picked up Noah from school we went to Sam's Club.  We quickly came home to put the food in the refrigerator/freezer and then we got on the bike to get Evan.  Noah started getting cranky at Evan's pick up.

We came home for a little bit.  I put away all the groceries and then we went to tennis.  Morry was able to come with us again.

Evan and Noah did well, but there was one game Noah didn't want to play. 

For dinner we had flank steak and baked potatoes.

After dinner we took a walk.  While we were walking Evan asked us if we know what OMG was.  He said Jack told him it stood for "Oh My God."  He thought we hadn't heard that before.  :)

The boys are ready for bed and Morry is reading to them now.

Taking It Easy

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

After yesterday's very long day, we decided to take it easy.  The boys let us sleep in, which was nice.  They played in the game room and their own rooms for a while before going downstairs to play Wii.

When we came downstairs, we made brunch.  Rachel made Pillsbury cinnamon rolls and I made green eggs and ham for Evan and just ham for Noah.  Rachel and I had left overs.

After lunch, the boys cleaned up their rooms and the game room and they they played in the game room until it was time for a birthday party for a boy down the street, Nathan.

Nathan's party was at the Little Gym.  Noah was excited to go there.  Both boys seemed to have a good time at the party.

On the way home, we stopped and got Mr. Popper's Penguins at Redbox.

Rachel was going to the Oasis tonight to see The Brew play with Yenis.  I ordered a pizza from Austin Pizza Garden for us and we had a "buddy party".  We put on Mr. Popper's Penguins and ate at the coffee table.  The boys enjoyed the movie and Evan had more pizza than I did.  He really likes pizza from there.

I put the kids to bed at 8pm but it's 10:45 and they are still up.

Until next time...

Looooong Day

Today was a very long day.

Evan had a baseball game this morning.  From the baseball game we went with the team out to lunch.  It was  a nice day and we sat outside.  The kids all got to play together on the patio and at the playground.  We were there for a long time.

From lunch, we stopped at home for a minute for Evan to go to the bathroom and then we went to the school Fun Run and Carnival.

Each lap of the run was 1/3 of a mile and they got a bracelet for every lap they ran.  Evan ran 7 laps and Noah ran 2.  After the run we spent time at the carnival.  Evan had a great time running around with his buddies.

After the carnival we went back to the baseball field to pick up Morry's car and then came home.

We had leftovers for dinner and then got the boys ready for bed.

Here is some video from today.

Busy Friday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today, I rode with Evan to school.  I haven't ridden a bike this many days in the row since I was a kid riding my bike.  Evan did very well on the bike ride today.

Noah got up shortly after I got home.  He was in a good mood.  I got breakfast for him and Rachel took him to school.

Rachel had some errands to run including going to a lunch for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.  I offered to pick Noah up from school.  I picked up lunch for myself and then got Noah.  He was very excited to see me and ran and jumped into my arms.

It was slightly raining this afternoon so Rachel picked Evan up from school in the van and put Evan's bike in there.  But as she was getting Evan, Jack asked if Evan could come over.  So Rachel dropped Evan off at Jack's on the way home.  She picked him up around 4:30 so we could get ready for Evan's baseball game.

Evan's game went well.  They tied.   He had his best hit of the season.  His fielding continues to be solid.

Rachel and Noah came to the game by after having thrown a fit, Noah fell asleep in the car.  Rachel decided she didn't want to wake him up and stayed parked against the outfield wall.  She could see a bit, but not much of the game.

Rachel took the boys home and I stopped at Z Pizza on the way home to get dinner for us.

When I got home, Rachel, Noah and I ate.  Evan had already eaten.

We just got the boys ready for bed.  They are still talking though.

Until next time..

Walk and PIcnic

Noah and I walked (he sat in the stroller) at the lake and then we had a picnic lunch at Zilker Park. After that we went to Noah's sports class.

Today, in sports class they did Karate. Noah like that a lot.

Noah chose to come with me to get Evan today and sat on the tandem bike again. He really likes doing that.

Evan seemed happy at school and we all rode our bikes home.

Before dinner, Morry and Evan played tennis in the front yard.

For dinner we had hamburgers. After dinner we took a walk around the block. The boys rode their scooters.

We just gave the boys showers and now they are in bed.

Here's a picture of Noah today after he gently got a butterfly in his hand.

Noah on the bike

This morning Noah threw a little fit before school, but it didn't last long.

I ran and went to Pilates.

On the way to get Noah I picked up more food for Mottel.

Since Morry had a meeting today Noah needed to come with me to get Evan at school. It thought I'd try putting him on the trail-a-bike (the bike that attaches to our bike). He had never been on it before. He was excited to do it, though a little nervous. Once he got on he was fine and very proud of himself for riding a bike without training wheels.

Gabby came over and I went to tutor.

Evan had baseball practice, so Morry came home to get Evan and then Noah stayed with Gabby.

Morry picked up Carinos for dinner on the way home.

Evan has an insect project so I worked on that with him tonight. They are supposed to do a short report on any insect. He chose a cricket, so we researched it together and filled out his note card.

Morry is reading the the boys now.

Errands and tutoring

This morning I had a web conference. It was one where you just listened and didn't need to participate, so Noah played Wii while I did that. It turned out to not be what I expected, so I quit before it was over. It was free, so it wasn't a big deal.

Noah and I ran some errands. We went to Carter's to get pajamas for Evan and to Michael's to return some things.

Noah stayed at home while I rode my bike to get Evan.

Blanca came over at 3:45 and I tutored.

When I got home the boys and Morry were outside practicing with the tennis balls. We talked to our neighbors Brian and Angela for a little while while all of the kids played.

For dinner we had leftovers from last night.

The boys are showered and in in bed now.

2 Tennis Players

Today I went for a run and then took care of some stuff around the house.

After getting Noah at school we went to HEB. We went straight to Evan's school to pick him up. There wasn't enough time to go home first. Since Evan rode his bike to school, I gave him two options. We could put the the bike in the car. Or he could ride his bike home and I'd follow in the car. He chose the 2nd option. Of course, he wanted to ride his bike.

I asked Noah if he wanted to do tennis lessons again today and he said yes.

When we got to tennis they said there was room in the class for him and they had a racket we could borrow. Noah seemed to really like it. Below is some video.

For dinner we had chicken and potatoes.

We went for a short walk around the block after dinner. Noah threw a fit for about the last 1/4 of the walk. The boys were both on their scooters, but Noah didn't like Evan go ahead of everyone.

The boys are in bed now.

Rain

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When Rachel and I were trying to figure out what to do for the day, we looked at the weather.  Rain was predicted.  The skies outside were getting dark.  We wanted to do something outside before it rained though.  So we decided to go walk around the Shops at Arbor Trails where they have a hike and bike trail.  At the end, we would get smoothies from Smoothie King.

I thought that we didn't need to bring the stroller this time.  Evan certainly doesn't need the stroller and I felt like Noah can do it too.  However, when Noah heard we weren't going to bring the stroller, he threw a fit.  It wasn't worth it, so we brought the stroller.  We also brought Lizzy with us.  When we started the walk, Noah got upset that Evan was in front of the stroller.  He wanted Evan behind.  Then when Evan began to run on the trail, Noah started to scream that Evan was not allowed to run.  He only cheered up once we got to Smoothie King.

As soon as we got back to our car after getting smoothies, it started to pour.  So we timed everything out well.

We came home and had lunch.

After lunch the boys played on the Wii.

Rachel had to tutor at 5pm.  The boys played outside in the backyard for most of the time Rachel was gone.

For dinner, Rachel stopped and picked up Torchy's Tacos while I made food for the boys.

After dinner, Evan and Noah cleaned the upstairs and then helped Rachel write thank you notes from their party.

They are in Noah's room now.

Until next time..

Morry Working

This morning Evan had a baseball game. Noah didn't want to go I stayed home with him. Morry said Evan made a really good play at 2nd base today.

When they got home Morry got ready to leave. He met the same clients from yesterday at Mozart's and they worked until about 4pm.

While he was gone the boys and I went to a 5th birthday party of our neighbor's twins. Evan and Noah had a lot of fun there. There was a bouncy house and 2 pinatas!

I also planted the flowers that we got at the Wildflower Center yesterday.

We spent the afternoon at home.

For dinner we ate at Cypress Grill.

In a few minutes we'll give the boys a shower and then get them ready for bed.

Friday, April 13, 2012

Cranky at the Wildflower Center

This morning Evan rode his bike again. They met at Jack's house and all rode together.

Noah was good this morning and had no problems going to school.

Morry had a meetings here at the house this morning and afternoon.

After I picked up Noah we went to the Wildflower Center. They are having a plant sale this weekend and today was a special members preview sale with 10% off everything. It was packed. There was a lot of nice stuff there. I would have gotten more, but Noah threw a massive fit. I'm not sure why. He just decided he didn't want to walk around once we got there and wanted to go home.

I rode my bike to get Evan at school today and then we rode home together with Jack.

Noah took a long nap on the couch downstairs.

For dinner we went to Hula Hut with some of Morry's clients that are in town. After eating we walked around a looked out at the lake. There were a lot of turtles swimming in the water. The boys enjoyed that.

The boys are in bed now and hopefully sleep well tonight. Evan has a baseball game early tomorrow morning.

Thursday, April 12, 2012

Bike and Baseball

Today Evan rode his bike to school again.

Noah and I went for a run. Later, Morry came with us to sports class.

I walked to get Evan at school and he rode his bike home.

I tutored at 6pm.

Evan had a baseball game and since Morry helps out, he couldn't bring Noah with them. I asked the family I tutor and they said it was fine if Noah came along with me.

Noah was very good while I tutored at the family's house. He colored and played his Leapster. Toward the end, he played with the daughter who his is in first grade. They had a good time playing ball together. They were both worn out.

At home, we had dinner. I had already cooked the chicken earlier today. Morry got the rest ready.

The boys are in bed now and hopefully go to sleep soon. The last few nights Evan has slept in Noah's closet. I made a little Zen area/quiet zone (whatever you want to call it) in Noah's closet a few weeks ago. I hoped that would be a good place for him to go when he needed some chill out time. The boys love it. I have it stocked with pillows and blankets, a teddy bear, and a few books. I guess Evan thought it was comfy he wanted to sleep in there.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Bike to School

This morning Evan rode his bike to school for the first time. Morry said he did a great job. They locked up Evan's bike with the others on the bike rack. He's officially a big kid now.

Noah threw a little bit of a fit about going to school this morning. Morry ended up getting him dressed after I tried.

While Noah was at school I went to Pilates.

Noah was happy at pick up.

He came with me to get Evan today. We walked (Noah in the stroller) and Evan rode his bike home.

Blanca came at 4pm and I tutored.

For dinner I had fish and Morry had grilled cheese.

We just gave the boys showers and Morry is reading to them.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

With Noah

This morning I took Noah for a run with me. I left Lizzy at home since she was dragging yesterday when I did 2 miles.

At 1:00 Noah had a meeting with the therapist again. She suggested asking Noah what he wants next time he gets upset. She said to say something like, "Wow, I see you are _(feeling)__. What would you like / what would make the situation better?" It sounded good in theory, but didn't work. I tried it at dinner. Noah just said, "nothing." I tried a few different times and it didn't seem to work.

Blanca came this afternoon and I tutored.

Morry took Evan to baseball practice. He had a really good practice. He caught a fly ball while playing 2nd base and tagged someone out in the same play. Morry was very excited.

When I home, Blanca was home with Noah. Noah and I then went to HEB to get a few groceries and food for dinner. For dinner I picked up some of the already made food that just needed to be heated up.

The boys are in bed now and it seems to be quiet.

Monday, April 9, 2012

Tennis

Today Noah was supposed to go to school, but we let him stay home with us. We knew he would rather spend time with all of us than go to school. We gave him a choice and he chose to stay home.

Jack rang the doorbell and asked Evan to come play. The kids rode their bikes in the cul-de-sac and then Evan went swimming at Jack's house for a little bit.

I went for a run and then we picked up Evan on our way to lunch.

For lunch we went to Satellite and ate outside.

Morry took Marilyn to the airport and then met us at Evan's tennis lesson.

There were 2 other kids in Evan's class. Evan seemed to enjoy it. Here is some video from his lesson.

For dinner we had leftovers.

Now, we'll put the boys to bed.

Sunday, April 8, 2012

Kids' Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I think the kids got up early this morning.  Somewhere around 8:30 or 9am, Noah burst in the room to tell us that he got up early.

When Rachel and I got up, we tried to decide what to do.  We had talked about going strawberry picking like we had done last year.  In the end, we decided to go miniature golfing.  Before we did that, we went to Jim's for brunch.  The boys tend to eat well there and they were open.

Then we drove to Peter Pan Mini-Golf.  Rachel and Grandmom watched while the boys and I played.  Both boys seemed to enjoy themselves.

From there, we went to Butler Park where they have a spray grounds.  We had brought the boys' swimsuits in case it was open.  We weren't sure if it would be.  It was a great day for it as it was sunny and 85 degrees.  It was open and the boys had a blast running through the water.  We stayed there for quite a while.

We came home and the boys played with Grandmom's iPad and iPhone.  Then Evan made Grandmom go outside so he could ride his bike around.

We got dinner ready for the boys and then Rachel and I left.  Today is the 10-year anniversary of when I proposed to Rachel.  We picked up Panera for Rachel and Popeye's for me and then drove to Mt. Bonnell, the spot of where I proposed.  Rachel and I stayed up there eating and talking until the sunset.

We came home and gave the boys baths.

Until next time...

Saturday, April 7, 2012

Wildflower Park

This morning we went over to the Wildflower Park. We bought Evan's bike and Noah's scooter. There about a 1/4 mile loop around the park that is paved. Evan and Noah went around the loop a few times a played on the playground.

We ate leftovers for lunch at home.

Tonight we met Matt and his family at Buca di Beppo.

On the way home we stopped at HEB to pick up a few things.

The boys are in bed now.

Friday, April 6, 2012

Day Off

Hello everyone, this Morry.

Both Evan and Noah had the day off today since it's Good Friday.  Evan has off on Monday as well.  They both got up around 8am this morning and played in the game room until Grandmom and Rachel woke up.

At 11am, there was a thing for Mom bloggers at a party store where they showed how you could have an Alice in Wonderland party.  You could have a tea party for girls or a card party with knights and things for boys.  They had little cupcakes and things and the boys got to play there.  Rachel said there were some older boys that Evan played with.

Grandmom and I met Rachel and the boys at Bruegger's bagels.  Noah got smoked salmon on a bagel.  He really likes smoked salmon.

When we got home, Grandmom made a deal with the boys that she would drive them to Toys R Us and get them something if they cleaned up the game room.  Noah got GeoTrax and Evan got more Star Wars Legos.

For dinner, we went to Red Lobster where Evan and Noah shared a pound of crab.  They both ate well.

When we got home Evan did FaceTime with Quin, Lennon, Aunt Rachel and Uncle Dax.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Evan's Birthday

This morning we all walked Evan to school. He seemed very happy to have all of us with him this morning.

We planned on meeting Evan for lunch and bringing him lunch and donuts for the class.

Evan's class eats very early, at 10:30am. The restaurants Evan likes were not serving lunch at that time. We tried Little Caesars and McDonalds. Little Caesars wasn't open and McDonalds was not yet serving lunch at 10am. We had no problem getting donuts though. Evan asked us to get coffee for Mr. V too. I'm not sure why, but that's what Evan wanted.

We ended up going back home quickly to get lunch together to bring to school since we were not able to pick up any lunch food.

Evan was happy to see us at school. Noah enjoyed sitting with the class in the cafeteria.

Noah had his sports class today and had fun in there.

On the way home we stopped at HEB.

When we got home Grandmom was there. Noah stayed at home while I got Evan at school.

Evan had a baseball game at 5:45 that we all went to.

For dinner, Evan wanted Little Caesars. We got that for him and Blue Bamboo for the rest of us.

For dessert, Evan choose to get Slurpees from 7-11.

The boys had a bath and now they are in bed.

Here are pictures and video from today.

Noah the Bunny

Noah was good this morning. He was looking forward to school since they were having a party today. We brought in cherries, filled plastic eggs, and a basket for him.

I went to Pilates and then came toward the end of Noah's party. Noah was excited to see me and happy that I got to see him do the Easter egg hunt.

After school we went to the library and then came home.

Noah did not come with me to get Evan today.

Evan was in a good mood.

Gabby came over at 4pm and took the boys outside to play on their bike and scooter.

I tutored and came home late.

While I was gone Morry and the boys had pasta for dinner and Morry got them ready for bed.

Here's a picture of Noah at school today.

The Lorax

Noah was good again today.

I took him and Lizzy for a run this morning.

Noah came with me to pick up Evan at school.

This afternoon we went to Tejas Family to meet with the therapist. She wanted to see the family interaction. She got to see one of Noah's fits. He and Evan were fighting over a toy and it it turned into a big tantrum.

Morry took Evan to baseball practice while I took Noah to HEB.

Noah and I came home and I quickly put groceries away, then we left again.

We all met back up at Alamo Drafthouse and saw the movie The Lorax. The boys seemed to really like it and Noah said he wants to buy the movie.

We just got home and Morry's reading to the boys now.


Happy Birthday Bubbe (video)

Evan seemed happy after school too.

Blanca came over at 4pm and I tutored.

For dinner we had an Asian frozen dinner.

The boys had showers and now Morry is reading to them.

Back to Normal?

We had a busy week, all of us.

Noah and I went to Dallas while Morry and Evan stayed at home.

I had a full week of doctors appointments so Noah came with me.

Noah was very good in Dallas. All of the tests came back normal.

Grandma and Papa drove back with Noah and I yesterday and then they went back to Dallas tonight.

Now, we are just trying to get back to normal.

We are all very exhausted now and hoping to get a good night's sleep.
