Swim Lessons

This morning we went to the gym. I worked out a little and then took the boys to their swim lesson there in the indoor pool. I signed them up for semi-private lessons, just the two of them. I was not in the water with them, but I sat off to the side. They both seemed happy and followed directions.

After the gym we went to Sams Club. I got the boys food there and they ate while we walked around. They were both good. I got a lot of stuff and by the time I got home and put everything away I was exhausted. It was a lot of loading and unloading either to the cart or the car or at home.

I tried to take a nap, but Noah was very cranky and threw a fit in his room.

For dinner we had our leftover casserole and Morry made shrimp for the boys. They are both acting really wild tonight. We'll try to put them to bed soon.

Bye Bye Grandmom

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night, Evan got up but Rachel put him back to bed and he stayed in bed after that.

This morning I got up. Evan did not get up with me. I said goodbye to my mom and went to work. Evan got up at 8. Noah got up just before Rachel was going to leave to take Evan to school. Because of that, Grandmom and Noah went along with Rachel to take Evan.

Rachel and Noah took Grandmom to the airport after dropping Evan off. Once Grandmom got out of the car, Noah said "fun". He enjoyed having Grandmom visit. Tonight, he said he wanted to call Grandmom.

Rachel and Noah had lunch and then they went to Target to get some cheese. Then they went and picked up Evan. From there, Rachel took Evan and Noah to get their hair cut.

Rachel put the boys down for nap and prepared a casserole to cook for dinner.

When I got home, I heard the boys talking through the monitor. When I went upstairs, Evan was in Noah's crib. They were having a good time.

We came downstairs and cooked the casserole and ate dinner.

After dinner, Rachel went to tutor and I took care of the boys. Evan played Wii while Noah and I read some books and played together.

I put the boys to bed. Evan has been downstairs once.

Until next time...

Back to School

This morning Morry dropped Evan off at school. Gabby was here this morning to take care of Noah.

From 11:30-2:30 I went to a “Genetics and the Jewish Woman” symposium at the JCC. Most of the information I already knew from meeting with the genetics counselor, but there was some new information that was helpful. I was able to briefly talk with an oncologist (the one I’m going to see on Thursday) and an ovarian cancer specialist from MD Anderson. They were both amazed that I had just had a mastectomy 2 weeks ago and was there.

When I got home Blanca was at the house and the boys were sleeping. Jodie (one of the moms from playgroup and Evan’s class) brought Evan home from school. The kids at school made a poster for us and the families gave us 5 gift cards for restaurants. That was really nice.

For dinner we had a casserole that Beth, from Morry’s work, made for us. It was nice not having to worry about dinner.

Evan and Noah played for a while after dinner. They were running around being silly.

The boys are in bed now, but still playing around and making noises.
