I went to Reid Park Zoo on 12/17.
Christmas was low key at home with just the three of us. I never even got ornaments on the tree. We didn't put up the main tree downstairs because Paul's desk and Nathan's desk are now in our living room. We put up "Nathan's tree" in the loft/Dawn's office. Santa still found it! Nathan got a lot of art supplies, some Lego sets, Game Stop gift cards, an air hockey set, etc...
Nathan ended the 2nd quarter on high honor roll! He had a 95.6 GPA. He got a 94 in English Languages, 92 in History/Geography, M for Latin, 99 in Math, M for Art, E for Music, M for PE, 97 for Reading and 96 in Science.
I went back to Sabino Canyon on 12/27. Still hardly any water, but some nice yellow trees.
Nathan had his 11 year pediatrician appointment. His previous pediatrician had to retire early due to health issues. So he had a new pediatrician this time. He weighs 82 pounds and is in the 55th weight percentile. He is 56.3 in tall and is in the 49th height percentile.
New Years Eve was spent at home with just the 3 of us, too. We also celebrated my birthday with a Wonder Woman cake! We were all in bed by midnight!
I turned 46 on January 2. We went to the Phoenix Zoo, Grimaldi's for lunch and then picked up food to bring home from Portillo's.
Nathan started back at school today. This first week of the 3rd quarter is being done remotely. They are supposed to go back to campus next week.
