We had a nice, small Thanksgiving gathering today.
At around 2:00pm, Aunt Sandy, Uncle Marvin, Joel, Marilyn, and our family met at Grandma and Papa's house for a Thanksgiving feast.
We had a nice time and all of the food was delicious.
Here are some pictures from today.
Last night, for (probably the last) sponsored campaign for Cha Ching Queen, Morry and I were given tickets for The Rolling Stones.
It was an amazing concert. Here are some pictures.
Since that last blog post, we've been busy with day-to-day things such as school, work, etc. Evan's baseball has slowed down some. He still has some practice and lessons.
The kids and I are on Thanksgiving break now.
Yesterday was an eventful day. There was a water leak at Evan's school. Without access to running water, the school was crazy. Kids were waiting in long lines to use only a few working restrooms and port-a-potties. They eventually said kids could go home. So, Evan got a ride to his friend's house. I picked him up there later.
Boogey went to his adoptive family yesterday. They are a very nice family that we first met when Evan was an infant. We had a playgroup together.
Today, Bowie said the water was fixed and that everyone should come to school. As Evan was on the bus on the way to school we saw an email saying there was another leak. Many kids didn't even bother coming to school.
Evan went to two classes and then Morry picked him up to come back home.
Evan rode his bike to the park to meet a friend for frisbee golf in the afternoon.
I had a busy afternoon of tutoring.
Morry took Evan to meet with a personal trainer and it went well.
When they got home, we had dinner and then I tutored again.
I just finished tutoring.
Morry and Evan went on a fishing trip and got back in the afternoon today.
The kids decided a while ago that they would not dress up or trick or treat for Halloween.
Well, as soon as we started getting the first trick-or-treaters Evan decided to put on his batter's box costume.
Marilyn stopped by for a little bit and sat in the driveway with us.
Then, Evan and Noah walked over to visit with Grandma and Papa. On the way home, they picked up some candy from the tables set up outside in people's driveways.
While we were waiting for our pizza delivery from Dominos, the boys decided to do a little bit more trick-or-treating, but only to the driveways. They did not ring any doorbells.
We ate our pizza in our driveway while watching trick-or-treaters collect candy off of our table in the driveway.
We had a bunch of trick-or-treaters and were worried about running out of candy.
When we finished our pizza, Morry, Chewie, Evan, and I walked around while Evan got candy from various driveways and porch bowls.
Here are some pictures from today.
Well, it's been almost 2 months since the blog was updated. Here's what's been going on.
Evan's back to playing baseball, doing well, and enjoying it.
We are back in the swing of things with in-person school for the boys and teaching at my school.
We had a foster dog, Beau, for 3 months and finally found a family for him. He seems happy with his new family and we visited him with Chewie recently.
I sold Cha Ching Queen. I had it listed with a broker for a while. I sold it (for an amount I'm happy with) to this nice couple with 3 young kids. I'll be working with them over the next few months to train them and help with the transition.
Now, we have a new foster dog, Boogey. We got him 2 weeks ago as a 9-week old puppy. He's very cute and sweet, but he has a bad habit of nipping, that we are working on.
Long-time friends of ours, from the baby playgroup, are (hopefully) going to adopt him. We are just waiting for Gold Ribbon Rescue to do their home visit.
For today's baseball practice Evan needed a costume - so he made a "batters box". See pic below. :)
Here are a few pictures since the last posting.
This morning I went to my school's orientation for a little bit and then I had a gynecologist appointment.
I picked up Noah from school at 1:45 for his 2:00 orthodontist appointment.
Today, he got braces. Putting on the braces didn't take very long, but they spent a lot of time with us before and after explaining everything and showing Noah how to care for his braces.
He would not let me take a picture of him with his braces on today, but I did get a few before pictures.
The braces didn't seem to be bothering him too much today.
Shortly after getting home, he left to go to Grandma and Papa's house to cook dinner and Hebrew.
Morry, Evan, and I ate dinner around 6pm and then they left for baseball.
I tutored from 7-7:30 and then picked up Noah.
Later this evening I made Noah some shaved ice for dessert.
So far, he seems alright and has not asked to take any pain medication.
