2020 Election

 Yesterday I met up with Deborah.  A long-time friend of hers who she was also living with passed away on Sunday.  Deborah was her caretaker over the last few months.

I Zoom tutored in the afternoon.

We ate grilled chicken for dinner and then Morry and Evan went to the baseball lesson.

Today is the big day - election day.   Morry got up around 6:15am to go vote.   I voted early a few weeks ago.

Both Morry and the boys were off today.  There was no school because many of the schools are voting locations.

After I taught, I dropped my car off to get serviced.  

Morry met me there and then we went to lunch nearby at a place called Hideaway.  It was good and we were able to eat outside.

After picking up my car we went back home.

I Zoom tutored this afternoon.

Morry and Evan are at baseball practice.

When they get home we will have corned beef for dinner.

We will see what happens tonight in terms of the election.

Busy, Busy

This morning we walked the kids to school.

When we got back home Morry took Jack to the airport and I went to HEB.  We needed groceries badly.

When I got home, Morry was back and we quickly put the refrigerated items away.

Then, we went to the later Camp Gladiator class.

We walked to pick up the boys from school.

On our way home, Noah asked if he could go straight to Grandma and Papa's house instead of waiting until 4pm.  So, he went over there right after school on our walk home.

I left the house around 3:30.   First, I voted and then tutored two students.

Morry and Evan went to baseball practice.

I picked up Noah from Grandma and Papa's house around 7:30pm.

Morry and Evan got home around 8pm.

It's been a long day for all of us.

Late Night Baseball Practice

This morning we walked to school.  At home, I walked on the treadmill.

Later in the morning I went to Walgreens and then the school to vote.  I brought my lunch with me since I was going around Noah's lunchtime.   I wasn't sure how long the line would be for voting.  It turned out the line was pretty short. There were just a few people ahead of me, so I was able to eat lunch with Noah.  He was surprised to see me and very happy that I met him for lunch.  We saw Evan and his class walk by in the hallway while we were eating.  I plan on having lunch with Evan tomorrow.

Morry picked up Evan from school.  Noah had Math Pentathlon and got a ride home from Lorena.

I tutored this afternoon.

Morry and Evan left for baseball practice before 5pm and dropped off Noah at Grandma and Papa's house.

Noah had dinner at Grandma and Papa's and then they walked him home.  He ate a ton!  He had steak, baked potato, olives, jicama, pickles, and a Hawaiian roll.

Morry and Evan got home around 8pm.  We gave Evan dinner.  The boys are getting ready for bed and then we will have our dinner.

We Voted

This morning Noah, Lizzy, and I took a walk.

I made lunch for Noah and then we went to his gym class.  Morry and I dropped him off and then went to vote.  The line was really long and we barely got back in time to pick up Noah after his hour long class.  I'm glad we voted early and got that taken care of.

Noah came with me to pick up Evan from school.

The boys had their practices tonight.  I packed dinners for them to eat while they weren't practicing.  First, they went to Noah's baseball practice.  I took Evan to his football practice and then Morry and Noah met us there.  Noah stayed with Morry and Evan while I went to HEB to get some groceries.  Morry said Noah did very well at his practice today.

We got the boys ready for bed and then ate our dinners.

I voted

Today I took the boys to early voting. We only had to wait in line about 5 to 10 minutes. I asked Evan where he wanted to go after. I gave him a choice of the park or bookstore. He chose the bookstore. He loves to go to Barnes and Noble and play with the train table. It’s nice because it gives me a chance to sit down and order a cup of coffee. Noah enjoyed sitting by the trains and playing with the toys.

Neither Evan nor Noah took a nap today. I tried, but for some reason they wouldn’t nap. I finally got Noah to sleep. He was asleep for a few minutes, but then the neighbor’s dog started barking and woke him up.

Evan, Noah, and I played in the front yard this afternoon. Evan rode his bike and we walked down to the end of the cul-de-sac to look at all the Halloween decorations. We walked back and got popsicles to eat outside. Evan loved it, of course. I gave Noah a little of mine. He kept trying to reach for more. He looked so cute with the red popsicle juice all over his lips. Morry came home while we were outside and we played a little longer.

We made pasta tonight. We needed a quick dinner since I was going to tutor. I left the house at 7 and got back a little before 9.

Noah is now 7 months old. Hard to believe.
