Missing Teeth

This morning we walked to school, like usual.

Around 1:30 I picked up Noah for an orthodontist appointment.  The dentist recommended we see one because Noah has a large gap between his front teeth and a couple of other issues.  The dentist suggested an orthodontist near us.

The doctor was very nice and kid friendly.  He took an x-ray.  It turns out, Noah is missing 3 adult teeth.  See image below.  The 2 on either side of his front teeth and one on the bottom near the back.  The plan is to have the other adult teeth on the front come in first to fill in the space of the missing tooth.  Then, in about 2 years, come back to the orthodontist to get braces to move anything around.  Last, the new 2nd tooth will be shaped like a incisor to look like the real 2nd tooth should.   For the bottom missing adult tooth, we will keep the baby tooth there permanently, since there is nothing to push it out.  Noah is happy that he doesn't need braces right now.  The gap doesn't seem to bother him.  Besides that, everything looks pretty good with his teeth.

Noah and I got home around 2:45.  Morry walked to pick up Evan and Jack.

Around 3:30, Jude came over.  Noah and Jude had a good time.  He left around 6:00.

I'm getting dinner ready now.

Morry and Evan should be home around 7 - 7:30 from baseball practice.

Here is the x-ray of Noah's teeth.  It's hard to see, but the doctor circled the spots with missing teeth.

Change of Plans

We walked to school today.

At 8:45 Morry and I went to an intro class for Camp Gladiator.  We signed up for a 1 month trial for the month of September.  Today, we had about a 30 minute workout where the instructor showed us various exercise moves.

Later, I went to the Pilates class.  After, some women from the class were going to Starbucks and invited me to join them.   I enjoyed that.

I got home after Morry had left to pick up the kids.  I started walking and met them about halfway.

Evan was supposed to have baseball practice at 5:30, but earlier today Morry noticed they changed the time to 7:30-9:30.

I left to tutor.

Around 4:30 Morry texted me that practice was changed once again. This time because of the rain.  They needed to get there at 5:00.  So, Morry dropped off Noah and Grandma and Papa's house and they went to baseball practice.

I came home for just a few minutes after tutoring and then left for 3rd grade back to school night.

I picked up Noah on my way home.

We got home around 8pm.  Morry and Evan got home a little before that.

Morry made dinner for Evan when they got home.

I had baked potatoes ready in the oven and Morry grilled burgers for us.  Noah ate one (without the bun) even though he had already had dinner with Grandma and Papa.

The boys are in bed now.  It was a long day for all of us.

Rain again

We walked to school.  On our way home it started drizzling and then it rained again.

We walked to get the kids from school.  Wade came home with us.  He and Evan played mostly outside this afternoon.

Morry left around 5pm to help a client of his set up a new store.

He is on his way home now.

For dinner the boys and I had turbot fish again.  I cooked the other filet tonight.

They were well behaved and are in bed now.

Wholy Bagel on Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We decided to go to Wholy Bagel today since we were not able to go on Friday.  With Evan sick, Rachel didn't go out on Friday during the day at all.  It was very crowded on a Sunday, but we were able to eat.  It was just as good as always.  The boys enjoyed it.

The boys cleaned up and played outside in the cul-de-sac for a while.  Evan and I then went to the middle school.  Evan wanted to kick field goals again.  He made several.  After that, he and I stopped at Target to get something for the cats.  When we were there, we bumped into the dad of someone that Evan played basketball with and baseball against.  We talked for a while.

When we got home, Rachel, Evan and I walked over to Grandma and Papa's.  Aunt Susan was there.  So we said hello for a bit.  Noah stayed at home.

For dinner, I grilled steaks and Rachel made the turbot.  Evan ate a ton.  He probably had 8-10 oz of steak as well as a bunch of turbot, along with corn and fruit.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Buddy Party

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

After we all woke up this morning, we decided to go to HEB.  We needed to get things for the coming week.  We couldn't at night, and Sundays at HEB are crazy, so we went this morning.  The boys picked out things for their lunch.  We saw Aunt Sandy there.  She had made some fish to give out as samples.  The boys really liked it so we bought it to cook tomorrow night.  It is wild Canadian turbot.

After lunch, Rachel went to tutor.  I had to leave just before Rachel got home to run down to Kick Pleat's new location to try to set up the network.  The construction people had stained the floors so I couldn't get in to do the work.

Noah went to Jude's later in the afternoon.  I played outside with Evan for a bit.

Rachel went to a party for the mom of one of Noah's friends.  She was having her 5-year cancerversary party.  Rachel actually talked to this woman 5 years ago and helped her and later Noah became friends with her son.  Most of the husbands were not invited.

The boys and I got Craig O's pizza and we watched the movie, Concussion.  The boys had gotten candy from HEB for the occasion.

The boys are sleeping now and Rachel is home.

Until next time...

Dog Party

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we weren't sure about Evan, but we decided he should at least try to go to school.  We walked to school and picked up Jack on the way.  We also bumped into Grandma and Papa.

When we were walking home after dropping the boys off, we saw Lizzy's puppy friend, Tucker, who is not a puppy anymore.  Tucker was very excited to see Lizzy.  They both were jumping around and seemed very happy.  Then another dog, Louie, came over and all three dogs were jumping around.  It was a dog party.  Lizzy was so happy that she trotted the entire way home.

Later in the morning, I left the house while Rachel went for a run.  I was going to meet Dmitriy and go see some of the old StoredIQ people.  While Rachel was on the run, the school nurse called and said Evan did not feel well and they were sending him home.  Rachel picked Evan up.

I went from meeting the StoredIQ people and then met my friend Mandy who is in from Tulsa.  Mandy is a friend of mine that I have kept in touch with since freshman year of college.  We saw her for breakfast two years ago when we were in Tulsa.  We went to lunch at Kerbey Lane.  It was a nice time.

I went home and worked.  Rachel walked to get Noah and Jack.

Shortly after Noah and Rachel got home, the doorbell rang.  It was one of the neighborhood boys, Vincent, wanting to play with Evan and Noah.  Evan stayed in, but Noah went out to play.

Evan seemed to be doing slightly better so we decided to see if he could eat at Cypress Grill.  He really likes it there and we kind of felt like he needed to eat and drink more.  They have a cherry limeade there that is really good and Evan loves it.  It appears that Rachel and I were right.  Once Evan really ate and drank more, we could see him getting more energy and feeling better.  He still is congested and is coughing, but I think he had low energy too.  I don't know if the congestion is messing with his sleep.

We are home and the boys will get ready for bed soon.

Until next time...
