So even though Larry claimed not to know how to tape them, he came through and did it! I hadn't asked him about it before writing my last post, but I figured he didn't do it.  I know I said I was too busy to transcribe anyway, but I found the time, and it's long tonight!
 
I was out tonight, taking Ellie (not Max) to, of all places, the doctor!! She had her physical, so she and I went alone to the appointment and then out to dinner. It's hard to find time to spend one-on-one with the kids, so this was a special night for us, even if it included a visit to the doctor.
