Dora:
"Arose early to get Florence home by A.M. Finished ironing. Pressed Ray's suit. Went down to Grandmas in the afternoon. Read and took a bath at night."
Ray:
20 degrees in the am. 26 degrees in the pm. Weather is Snow.
"Took Florence home in a.m. Worked around home in p.m."
Note: Ray recorded his height and weight on Jan. 4, 1913. He was 20 years old. His weight was 161 pounds and he was 5 feet 7 1/4 inches tall. By today's standards this would put him at the high end of normal (25) for his body mass index.
Dora weighed in on Jan. 3, 1913. She was 145 pounds and was 5 feet 2 1/2 inches tall. She was 26 years old at the time. Dora would have been considered 'overweight' by today's medical standards with a BMI of 26.1.
Cayla:
21 degrees in the am. 31 degrees in the evening. Weather is Sunny.
Please note: I am not weighing in. I happen to be 5 foot 3 1/2 inches. That's all you're gonna get, folks. Oh, and I'm never going to take note of whether or not I bathed since I bathe daily...
I got up this morning and left for work before the kids were up again, although Ada was intermittently warbling from her crib as I walked out the door. Saw some interesting patients in the sleep clinic (one of which told me,"You probably get this all the time, but you're really beautiful!" I laughed loudly and said, "Um, no. I DON'T get that all the time...not at all..." I should also mention that she was on some very strong happy medicine.) Got home and played with the kids and then called my Uncle Bob to discuss this blog, the journals, and other factoids about the family. They (both Bob and Aunt Lynn) sounded great and it was wonderful to catch up with them. We had dinner and then played rather aggressively with beanbags (mostly Tarek and I while the kids intermittently joined in). Put the kids to bed and then took down the Christmas tree and got everything all put away.
