More Gallo

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, around 6:45am, I was awakened by Evan coming in our room. He wanted us to put on a movie for him in the gameroom. Rachel, very generously, offered to set Evan up. However, he insisted that Daddy get up and go downstairs and get him breakfast and start the movie. I tried to go back to sleep after that but never really fell into a deep sleep. I dozed off a few times. Rachel even got up with Evan a little before 9 and let me stay in bed but I never got a good sleep.

When Noah got up, Rachel took the boys out to go looking for toddler stuff at garage sales. Unfortunately there weren't many going on.

When they got back we went out the library. Evan and Noah really like going there. I think if Noah could, he'd pull every single book off of every shelf. You really have to watch him.

After the library, we went to Target. Rachel had to return some stuff and exchange some other stuff. I took the boys over to the toy section. There was this two foot high robotic dinosaur toy. It was encased in glass and you pressed a button and it roared and stomped around. Noah thought this was great. He pressed the button over and over. In that same aisle, across from the dinosaur, was all these new Buzz Lightyear toys. Evan was in heaven. He kept grabbing different Buzz Lightyears and saying "look at this kind of Buzz Lightyear". Many times, he'd just grab behind the box he had just grabbed so it was really the same Buzz Lightyear. I guess with Toy Story set to be re-released in October and Toy Story 3 coming out in June, the toys are coming back out.

When we got home we had lunch. Neither boy ate much and so we put them down for naps. They took very good naps.

Noah got up first. He and I were downstairs and I was getting dinner ready for he and Evan and I heard Evan yell from the top of the stairs, "Gallo!!" Noah got a big smile on his face and yelled "Guy...O" back. It was very funny. So pretty soon we're going to have both boys using the word Gallo.

Blanca came over and babysat while we went out for date night. We had dinner at this place in Driftwood called Trattoria Lisina. It was really good. There was an hour wait so we ended up eating at the bar which was kind of neat. The kitchen is open so at the bar we could watch everything going on. We were seated by the dessert people. The food was really good. From there we went down to South Congress to try out the cupcake place called Hey Cupcake! However, even thought it said there hours on Saturday were from 10am to 10pm and it was 9pm, they were closed. Odd. So we went to the crepe place. We enjoyed our crepes.

We are back home and the boys are sleeping, so that's a good sign.
