Aunt Jane and Uncle Norman

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Noah and Evan both got up throughout the night. Evan woke me up because he had to go to the bathroom. He wanted me to turn the light on. I put a night light in the bathroom tonight so he didn't need me. Noah cried for no apparent reason. We're going to have to break the two of these habits.

Evan then got up at 7am this morning. He got himself breakfast and then I put a movie on for him.

Once everyone was up and had breakfast, we went to the gym. Rachel did the Latin Dance class, the boys went into daycare and I ran and then lifted weights. Noah seemed excited to get to the gym and he ran back to the daycare. I kept peeking in on them and every time I looked in, I saw Evan racing full speed to go to another part of the room.

After the gym we got smoothies at Smoothie King. Both boys really like smoothies and were excited.

For lunch, neither boy ate that well. Noah barely ate anything and Evan had some oatmeal. Rachel and I made breakfast tacos with eggs and some leftover potatoes and cheese.

While everyone was napping I watched the Olympics. I watched the cross-country skiing and I have to admit, it was kind of exciting. It was 30km but there were 8 laps. Half of the laps were done in "classic" style and the second half were done "freestyle". They actually changed skis at the midway point. Right after the midway point, this one Swede got a huge lead. He was able to change skis the fastest. He eventually opened a 25 second lead. What was really interesting was that his two teammates basically sacrificed themselves. They went to the head of the back and then skied shoulder-to-shoulder not letting anyone by and they went very slowly to let their teammate open up such a big lead. But then at the end of the last lap, the guy out in front lost steam and it was a race to the finish. The one Swede who had seemingly sacrificed himself ended up winning and the one guy who had led most of the way got bronze.

For dinner we met Matt, Rachael, Ben and Molly at the County Line BBQ. Matt's parents, my Uncle Norman and Aunt Jane (making their blog debut) were visiting so we wanted to see them. They treated us to a very nice dinner. Evan enjoyed sitting with Ben and Molly and Noah enjoyed the attention that Uncle Norman and Aunt Jane were giving him. Evan ended up eating a lot, eventually. Noah again didn't eat that well. After dinner Uncle Norman and Aunt Jane gave the boys toys. Evan got RC from Toy Story and Noah got a bunch of toy cars from the movie Cars. Both boys were extremely happy with their gifts.

When we got home the boys played with their toys some and then we gave them baths. They are in bed now.

Until next time...
