New Years Eve

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We got up early this morning to go to Rachel's last chemo appointment. Amazingly, Evan did not get up early this morning. So the one morning I had to get up, Evan decided to sleep in. I should have gone in his room and asked him to get me breakfast.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen took care of the boys today. They walked to the school and played on the playground. They played a lot at the house as well. The boys seemed to really have had a good time. When Aunt Jen got to the house, Evan said "look at our new dog" and pointed out in the backyard where the dog that we found last night was sitting.

The oncology center was backed up today. I think they are closed tomorrow so they are probably seeing the patients who have chemo on Friday as well as the Thursday patients. So it took much longer there.

When we got home the boys were napping. Aunt Jen actually laid down with Evan to get him to sleep.

I took the dog we found to the vet to see if he had a chip so we could find the owners. Unfortunately, he didn't have a chip. As I was driving home, my phone rang. It was a number that I didn't recognize. I answered the phone and the person said he had lost his dog and identified the dog we had found. I told him that I had the dog in the car, that I'd just drive over to his place. I asked where he lived and it was nearly 2 miles from our house. I can't believe the dog had wandered that far away. Rachel and I didn't put flyers up that far thinking the dog must have come from nearer to where we lived. The owner said he drove around until 4am last night but he didn't think that the dog had gone that far away. It's a shame because we were driving around at the same time but in two different areas. The owner was very happy to have his dog back. There were a bunch of people at the house who were just about to go out to search for the dog. They had made a ton of flyers and were going to post them around. He offered to give us a reward but I refused. I said all I care about is that if somehow Lizzy were to escape that someone would find Lizzy and take care of her until we found her.

For dinner, Aunt Jen and Uncle Mike went out to get Salt Lick. Apparently it was very crowded. It took them nearly an hour. When they returned the server had given them the wrong order. They had to drive back and pick up the right order. The food was good though.

We gave the boys baths and put them down. Unfortunately, Evan is back downstairs watching everyone play Wii (and playing some himself).

Happy New Year's everyone!

Oh, and if you know someone who is setting off fireworks (like the people in our neighborhood) tell them they are idiots. Thank you.
