November 15-21, 2020

Ally’s birthday week! COVID continues and the pandemic is getting worse which brings more stress to our lives. 


Orthodontist appointment on Wednesday. Long 1 hour appointment with X-rays and molds. The orthodontist has been working not to pull a tooth but it looks like it needs to be done. We will hear the verdict this week. Other than that the doctor is thrilled with the progress and thinks Ally’s braces will be off by the start of her freshman year; so another 9 months but not too bad.


Ally got happy birthday flowers from her friend Maya a day late.


Thursday was delivery day.

A new fleece jacket from Grandpa Frank. She loves the color and says it’s cozy.

Ally asked for an off the shoulder top for her birthday. This gray sweatshirt one is perfect for her.


We put a galaxy light in Ally’s room and it is amazing.


Lunch break.

TGIF: school with Daisy.

Cupcakes made and ready for delivery to Ally’s 2nd birthday party. 

Before the party Ally had to write a few thank you notes. And she took a short break with Cloey on the couch. 
We did not coach her on what to write and this is her note for Grandpa Frank. So sweet.






Ally asked us if she could do something with her teammates for her birthday. Our outdoor space is not large enough to host them all. And we don’t have a garage or any other space. So I looked at places that might be appropriate and COVID safe for a teen party. One of the other gym moms had been raving about ArcheryBoston. 

I checked with all the team parents, and everyone was ok with this. It was indoor in a large warehouse type place. The girls wore their own masks inside of a large enclosed safety mask while playing. Ally above was learning how to shoot the bow and arrow.


The girls drew straws for teams. Above the is blue team and below the red team. 



It was kind of like dodge ball with bow and arrows. 



They had lots of fun and played for over an hour.


Then cupcakes (and seated away from each other).
We had the party before practice and then drove all the girls to the gym for their Saturday afternoon practice. 

After practice back at home posing with her gifts.


Teammate collage! And some other fun things. 

Next up is Thanksgiving!
