Noah the Architect

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Noah had an assignment this week to build a bridge.  They could use any material they wanted.  It had to be at least one foot long but no longer than 2 feet.  And it had to be strong enough to have a Hot Wheels go across the bridge.  Noah built his bridge out of cardboard and a shoe box completely on his own.  Rachel and I did not help him at all.  He walked with it going to school this morning.  When I dropped him off in the cafeteria, all the other kids' bridges were obviously built by their parents.  They were all colorful and everything was perfectly done.  We warned Noah that this would be the case and told him that we were proud of him for doing it on his own.  Grades for Kindergarten thru second grade are given on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the highest.  Noah received a 4 for his bridge.  The teacher also wrote a nice short note praising Noah for doing it by himself.  He was the only kid in his class to not have any parent helping him.

Rachel went to Houston today for a checkup.  She left around 9:30.  She was there for about an hour.  The doctor gave Rachel a clean bill of health and said she can resume all normal activities.  She ran into traffic on the way home and it took her a long time to get back.  She didn't get home until around 5:30.

I picked up Noah after school. Evan went over Jack's house.

Evan got home right after Rachel got home.  Evan had asked that we go to Genghis Grill for dinner.  Noah agreed.  We had a nice dinner there.  Then we stopped at Academy on the way home to get a gift for Wade.

The boys are about to go upstairs to get ready for bed.

Until next time...
