July 4th

Hello everyone, this is Morry. This is my first posting in awhile. We didn't post last Saturday night so I think it's been two weeks.

This was the first full day home for everyone (besides me). Rachel was very tired as the boys didn't sleep well all week long while they were in Dallas and she was up dealing with them. Luckily, this morning, both boys slept until nearly 10. Then I got up with them and got them dressed. Rachel slept until after 11.

We came downstairs and had fruit for breakfast. Evan also had some Cheerios.

When Rachel came downstairs we decided to go to Blue Bamboo for lunch. It's a Thai-Vietnamese place that opened in Escarpment Village. We all really enjoyed it. It was our second time there and it was just as good, if not better, than the first time we went. Both boys ate incredibly well. I ordered Chicken Fried Rice and Evan ate all the chicken out of my rice. Noah ate a hot dog.

When we came home, the boys played some and then went down for a nap.

I started cooking a brisket for dinner. I put it on the grill, wrapped in foil. Rachel made potatoes, and chocolate chip cookies. We also made asparagus in the steamer. Additionally, we roasted garlic and had some bread to put it on.

Evan and Noah both ate the bread, but not much else from the dinner. Evan had peanut butter and jelly but Noah didn't really eat much. His eating has really slowed down recently. I remember when Evan went through this phase.

After dinner the boys played some more and then we gave them baths.

Evan has been manipulating me into staying in his room when we were trying to put him to bed. He was coming up with every excuse to keep me in there. He's very good at that. When I came downstairs, he started to cry so I sent Rachel up. He's quiet now but I don't know if Rachel still is in there.

Until next time...
