Noah's Fall

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan was good this morning getting ready.  I had said we'd try to ride our bikes to school this morning but the temperature was 36 so I decided against it.  While we were outside walking the path, Evan told me it wasn't cold at all.  It was pretty cold.

Rachel and Noah met Evan at school for lunch.  It was a surprise.  Evan really enjoyed it.

After that, Rachel and Noah went to his gymnastics class.

Later in the afternoon, Rachel and Noah went to her tutoring while I took Evan to baseball lessons.  Evan did well and got to use his new bat.  Noah didn't want to go to tutoring so Rachel bribed him with a slushee from Sonic.

When I got home, I began making pizza.  Noah was playing the Wii while standing on the couch.  All of a sudden I heard Noah make a noise and then I heard a bang.  I looked over and Noah was no longer standing on the couch.  I realized he must have fallen off the couch and hit the coffee table.  I ran over and Noah was laying beneath the coffee table crying into a pillow.  When I pulled him out and turned him over he had a big cut on the bridge of his nose and blood was pouring out.  He wouldn't tell us if his head was also hurting or whether it was just his nose.  He wouldn't let us put ice on his nose.  For a while I held a wet paper towel on his nose.  Rachel took over sitting with Noah and I got Noah a band aid.

I finished up making the pizza but both Rachel and I were worried about Noah so we called the doctor and made an appointment at the after hours clinic.  He didn't want to go, but if he was going to go, he insisted that Evan come with us.

The nurse cleaned him up when we got there.  We had put a band-aid on him before but the blood was still coming and when we pulled the band-aid off, his whole nose was swollen and covered in blood.  He was a trooper while he was being cleaned up.  The doctor came in and said that the cut was in a good spot and she could use the glue rather than Noah needing stitches.  Even though his whole nose was swollen, she did not believe it was broken.  She looked at his septum too to make sure that he hadn't broken his septum.  And she didn't think he had gotten a concussion.

We came home and I showed Noah his nose in the mirror.  We both were looking in the mirror and I told him he had really scared me.  He continued to look ahead into the mirror looking quite solemn and then all of a sudden he turned around really fast and yelled "boo".  It was pretty funny and showed me he was going ok.  He also read a book to Evan and me as I was putting him to bed so his mind is functioning fine.

Both boys are asleep now.

Until next time...

Lizzy in the Shower

From Noah:

This morning I slept late until 9:30.  Then I went to school.

At school I played with Cole.  I went outside to play a race.  And I won the race. And I ate lunch.  I ate oranges for lunch and yogurt and juice box.

Mommy picked me up. We went home.

I played Wii for a little bit.

Gabby came over and we went to pick Evan up from school.

At home we played the dog game.

Then Daddy came home.

With Daddy we went to the bank and CVS.  I was good at CVS and that's how I got the Skittles.

Then, Mommy came home.

Then we had dinner.

For dessert I had Skittles.

Then Lizzy went in the shower with me and Evan and we gave Lizzy a bath.   We washed her.

And now we are writing the blog,.

Here is a picture and video.

Long but good day

This morning Noah, Lizzy, and I took a walk.  Around noon Noah went over to Cole's house.

I picked up Noah from Cole's and then we got Evan at school.

At home the boys had their snacks.  I usually try  to cut up some fruit and vegetables for them every day after school.  The plate is pretty much all clean by the end of the afternoon.

Around 5pm Blanca came over and I left to tutor. 

On my way to tutoring I stopped at Dicks Sporting Goods and exchanged Evan's new bat for another one that Morry found was good (and cheaper).

I had a late night of tutoring and just got home not too long ago.

Morry, Evan, and Noah got Pizza Hut for dinner and the boys were all ready for bed when I got home.  Evan was just about asleep, but of course Noah was still up and not acting tired at all.

I'm pretty sure Evan is asleep now and I just tucked Noah in to bed.

Busy Monday

Noah slept until about 9am this morning and then I took him to school.  He was happy to be there and started playing with Cole right away.

I got some stuff done at home and took Lizzy for a walk.

Noah was happy at pick up.

We were home for a little bit and then Gabby came.  She and Noah picked up Evan from school and I left to tutor.

Morry gave the boys dinner and I got home around 7:30.  We will put the boys to bed soon and then make our dinner.

Not Much Sunday

We mostly took it easy today.

This morning we took a walk with the boys and Lizzy.  Evan and Noah rode their scooters.

I tutored for a little bit in the early afternoon.

Morry made the boys popcorn this afternoon and we took it easy.

For dinner we had burgers and soup.

After the boys finished cleaning up tonight they had sherbet for dessert.

Here are a few pictures.  There are before and after pictures of clean up and also a picture from yesterday's basketball game.

 

 

Basketball, Baseball (Bats) and Date Night

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had a basketball game this morning.  Only 8 of the 11 kids were there today so Evan got to play quite a bit.  He seemed to have a really good time and had his best game so far.  He had several friends on the other team and I think that helped him as well - just that the whole thing felt familiar.  Rachel and Noah met us at the game.  Rachel was able to get some video.

After the game, Evan, Noah and I drove to Dick's Sporting Goods.  We got a new bat for Evan for the season and they each got new bike helmets.  The boys like to go Dick's.

The boys were supposed to have another informal baseball practice but Noah's coach threw his back out so it was cancelled.

We came home and had lunch.  Then the boys played with their legos for a while.

This evening, Blanca came over to babysit.  Rachel and I went out for dinner, dessert and then stopped by a party for a friend of ours.  It was a nice night.

Until next time...

End of the week

This morning after dropping Noah off at school I had an appointment with the massage therapist.  I really like her and feel a lot better already.  She gave me more stretching activities and balls to use.

I was home for a little bit and then it was time to get Evan.  Evan was in a good mood and the boys seemed happy to see each other.

We spent the afternoon at home and then Morry took Evan to his basketball practice.  While they were gone Noah had dinner here at home and then we took a walk.  I walked Lizzy and Noah rode his scooter.

Morry picked up Tochy's for us for dinner and we ate once they got home.

Now it's time to get the boys ready for bed.

More fun with Cole

This morning Noah and I stayed at home until it was time to leave for the Little Gym.  On the way there we stopped at Target to get a few things.

Noah had fun in his gym class and was invited over to Cole's house afterwards.  He rode home with Cole in their van (just like ours), but it was still a big treat for him.  The boys had fun together.

I got Noah right before it was time to pick up Evan.  We then drove over to the school to get Evan.

Evan was in a good mood.

We were home for about 45 minutes and then it was time to go to my tutoring.  The girl who would normally watch the kids at the library during my tutoring was sick, so I still brought the boys.  I packed a bag of activities and snacks for them.

At the library the boys were good.  There's a kid's room with soft building blocks, books, and puzzles.  The boys played in there while I tutored at a table nearby.  I could see them through the windows and checked on them frequently.  They did well and had fun with another little boy in there.

We came home and had dinner.

The boys are in bed now and it's actually pretty quiet.

Haircuts

This morning I dropped Noah off at school.  I was really foggy outside. 

After dropping off Noah I went to HEB to pick up a few things.

At home, I did a few things around the house and went for a run.

I got Noah from school and we were home for just a little bit before Gabby came over.

I left to tutor when Gabby got here.  Gabby and Noah picked up Evan from school.

I got home around 4:30.

For dinner we had pasta and then went to Great Clips.  The boys needed haircuts badly.  They look nice now.

Time to get the kids ready for bed.

Whew... busy

I thought today would be a relaxing day, but it was really busy.

I gave the boys a few suggestions on what we could do today and they chose to go to the zoo. I packed our lunches.  I thought maybe we go for about an hour or 2 and come home and relax before my tutoring. 

A little before we were going to leave Morry called and said Noah's baseball coach was getting kids together to play/practice at noon.  It was going to be an informal practice and Evan could come too.  I gave the boys the the option of going to the zoo or playing baseball.  I think you know what they chose.

So, we went to the Wildflower Park to play and eat our already packed lunches.  From there, we went to the baseball practice.  Evan and Noah had fun and played well.

  On our way home Gabby called and said she thought she was getting sick and couldn't babysit today.  When we got home I tried calling and texting a few people, but no one was available.  I called the mom of the tutoring student and she said it was fine if I brought Evan and Noah.

We left the house around 2:30 for my tutoring.  The boys were good there and played with the younger sister.

We got home about 4:30.

I folded 2 huge baskets of laundry and got dinner ready.  The boys cleaned up while I got dinner ready.

We just finished eating leftover brisket and oven potato slices.

In a few minutes we'll put the boys to bed.

San Antonio Day Trip

Morry had a meeting in San Antonio today. 

All of us drove to San Antonio.  Morry dropped the boys and I off at Susie and Ryan's house and we spent the afternoon there.  We had a nice time.  The boys and Ryan played some football and also watched football on tv. 

After Morry's meeting we hung out at the house a little more and then drove back home.

For dinner we had leftovers.

For dessert we went to TCBY.

In  a little bit we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Here are a few pictures from today.

More Basketball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had a basketball game at 10am this morning.  He had team pictures at 9:15.  I tried to get Evan up at 8am.  He was awake in his room, but in bed.  Surprisingly, he was in a bad mood.  I let him lay in bed for a bit longer.  It didn't take him too long to snap out of it.

Evan seemed to have a fun time at his game today.  He was able to take one shot, though he missed it.  The coach gives out "Superstar Performer" ribbons to two people after each game.  Evan got one today.  Evan was very excited.

After the game, we went to Target.  Evan got new shoes.  I ran over to Office Depot to get 1099 forms while Rachel and the boys were at Target.

We came home and had lunch.  Rachel went out to get her hair cut.

I made popcorn and the boys and I watched Monsters Inc.

For dinner, we went to Verde's.  It's the place that has a big field with balls for the kids.  They had a Groupon offered this week, so we got it.  When we got there, it was packed.  Apparently, many others got the Groupon as well.  Within one minute, and I'm not exaggerating, Evan got out on to the field found a group of boys playing football and just joined in.  Noah stayed with us and I played some soccer with him.  It took 45 minutes or so to be seated.  It seemed that the kitchen was very unprepared for the rush created by the Groupon offer.  It took nearly an hour to get our food.  We were not the only table having problems.  Everyone around us was complaining.  The boys definitely were getting antsy, but it was good they had been outside until we were seated.  We did eventually get our food and a dessert was included in the deal, so we had some dessert.

We are home now and Evan is in bed.  Noah is being put to bed now.

Until next time...

Noah the Great

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I started writing this blog last night but got interrupted.

So in the morning, I took Evan to school.  As usual, he made me take his sweatshirt home with him because he wouldn't need it the rest of the day.  He wears it into school.  I also put a long-sleeved shirt underneath his t-shirt.  When he got home from school, he was very upset that he was hot all day and was mad I had put long-sleeved shirt on?

Noah had a good day at school.  He had a substitute because his teacher was running parent-teacher conferences all day.

Rachel went to a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls Lunch.

At 5pm, we had our parent-teacher conference with Noah's teacher.  It was the best conference we've had for either boy.  It was not possible for the teacher to gush more than she did about Noah.  She said he was one of the brightest kids she has ever met and how kind and caring he is.  She is worried that he's going to be bored in this last half year of pre-school and is prepared with things to challenge him.  But, she said, that he's very good at playing on his own and inventing play and imagination play so he hasn't been bored yet because he comes up with things on his own.  She says that he loves all the athletic play they do outside and that he loves playing with friends.  Noah also doesn't discriminate - he will play with girls or boys.  As long as they are doing something he wants to do, he will play with them.  She said he is not going to have any problems with Kindergarten and will shine in it.  She writes up a description of Noah which is turned over to the elementary school.  She wants to make sure that Noah gets a teacher who will enhance those gifts and challenge him (Mr. Valdes, anyone?).  She could not say enough good things about Noah and how much she loves him.  Yep, Noah worked his Noah charm.

After the conference, I took Evan to basketball practice.  As usual, he seemed to have fun.  One of the parents compared Evan to Pete Rose because he has one speed and never gives up on a play or a rolling ball.  If you ever see a kid on the ground, you can be guaranteed, it's Evan diving for the ball.

We had dinner when we got home and put the kids to bed.

Until next time...

Tutoring Buddy

This morning Noah and I hung out at home.  Cole's mom dropped him off at our house before going to the Little Gym.  I took him with us since she had somewhere to be.  Noah and Cole had fun riding together in the back of their van in the booster seats.

Morry met us at the Little Gym and brought bagels for lunch that he got at Wholly Bagel.

Noah and Cole had fun in the gym class and Cole's mom arrived during the class so I didn't need to take him home.

I got Evan from school and a little while later left to tutor.

Noah was my tutoring buddy today.  He came to 2 appointments with me.  Blanca has class now at that time and would probably not make it home in time for me to leave. The first was session was at the library.  I asked one of my other students to babysit for Noah there while I tutored.  They have a nice kid's section at that particular library and Noah seemed to have a good time.

After that I took him to a house with me.  While I tutored he played on my old iphone.  He was very good.

While I was tutoring, Morry took Evan to a baseball lesson.  Morry said he practiced hitting both left and right handed and did very well at both.

For dinner we had brisket, leftover soup, and rolls.

Now, we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Getting Fixed

After I dropped off Noah at school today I went to a physical therapy/massage therapy appointment.  I tried out a new place I found through Yelp.  I really liked the lady.  She gave me some exercises to do and did lots of stretches and massage with me to help all my aches/pains/limited range of motion, etc.  I go back again next Friday.

On my way home I stopped at HEB.

I came home, put the groceries away, and then got Noah at school.

I got dinner started (crockpot chicken and soup) and then Gabby came over.

I left to tutor and Gabby and Noah picked up Evan from school.

I got home around 4:30.

After dinner Evan finished his homework.

Morry and Evan are reading now and then we'll put the boys to bed.

Cold Day at Home

This morning I wasn't feel well so Noah and I just spent the morning at home.

Cole came over around noon and the boys had fun together.

Noah and I got Evan at school.  It was really cold and windy this afternoon.

Gabby came over at 4:30 and I tutored.

Morry and the boys had dinner together and then I got home around 8:15.  The boys were ready for bed, but not yet asleep.

They still aren't asleep yet.

Time to eat my dinner.

Today's review

So, let's see.  This morning while the boys were at school I got stuff done at home and also went for a run.

Noah had fun at school. 

We were home for a little while and then Gabby came over.

I left to tutor and Gabby took Noah to pick up Evan from school.  It went well and there weren't any problems.

I got home around 7:15.  The boys were finishing their dinner.

Evan is supposed to be doing his homework now.  When he's done we'll put the boys to bed and then Morry and I will eat our dinner.

Birthday Party

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I get up this morning to do work.  Evan came down shortly after I got up.  He ate his breakfast in my office.  Then Evan played some Wii.  When Noah woke up, he played with Evan.

Later in the morning, we went to Sam's Club to get some stuff - both for the week and for the month, really.  The boys were good there, so they got an Icee to share on the way home.

In the afternoon, Rachel went to tutor while I did some work and the boys played together.  When Rachel got home, she had the boys clean up some.

After that, they had a birthday party to go to.  It's a boy on Noah's baseball team - the coach's son, Josh.  Josh and Evan played together last spring.  Many of the kids from the baseball team were going to be there.  It was at Hoppin' House.

When I got home, both Evan and Noah talked about the party.  It sounded like they had a lot of fun.  They got to see their buddies that they hadn't seen since the season.

The boys finished cleaning up and then we had dinner.

We gave them showers and now they are in bed.

Until next time...

Muffins and Basketball

This morning the boys helped me make blueberry muffins.  We had had lunch and then Morry took the boys to Evan's basketball game.

I finished cleaning up and then met them there a little while later.  Evan enjoyed his game even though they lost.  He seemed to be into it and really watching while he was not playing. Below is a video.  He's mostly along the far sideline.

We spent the afternoon at home and then went to dinner at The Brick Oven.  The boys ate well there and were well behaved.

Now, we are going to get the boys ready for bed.

Busy Friday

This morning while the kids were at school I got things done around the house. 

I picked up Noah from school and we came home for a little bit.

We drove to get Evan at school and Jack came home with us for a playdate.  Evan, Noah, and Jack had fun together this afternoon.  When Jack's dad and sister came to pick him up they brought their dog with them.  Lizzy and their dog played (sort of) in the backyard while the kids ran around together.

Morry took Evan to basketball practice.  He said Evan did very well and had fun.

On they way home Morry picked up Sap's for dinner.

Morry's reading to the boys now.

Hello Sun

After a couple days of rain we finally got some sun today.

Noah and I spent the morning at home and then went to his gym class.  I returned a few items to Walmart and Kohls during his class and still saw a little of the end of the class.  Noah had fun and was in a good mood.

When we got home I asked Noah if he wanted to take a walk, but he said no.  We stayed at home until it was time to get Evan.

Evan was happy to see us at pickup.  He said he had a good day.

This afternoon I took the kids the in the cul-de-sac.  Evan rode his bike and Noah rode a scooter.

For dinner we had leftovers.

Now we are getting the boys ready for bed.

Another Wednesday

It rained a lot last night and this morning.

I took Noah to school and then came back home and did stuff around the house.  I talked to a woman from an organization called Living Beyond Breast Cancer, but she wasn't much help.  Everything she suggested we already tried in terms of people to contact with help getting insurance.  She did give us the name of one lawyer to contact so we'll see if that works out.

Noah was in a good mood when I picked him up from school.

Gabby came over around 2:30 and she followed me in her car to Evan's school.  I walked down with her and showed her where to pick up Evan for school.  Evan's class came out right after the bell so I was able to see Evan before I left for tutoring.  Gabby drove the boys home (with our car seats) and then I got home around 4:30.

For dinner we had tacos.

The boys are ready for bed, but not asleep yet.

Soggy Pick-up

This morning Noah slept until 11am!  It was rainy and dark outside which I think helped.

Once he got up and got dressed we went to HEB.   I dropped him off at Cole's house on the way home.  The boys were excited to see each other.

I got Noah from Cole's house and we headed over to Evan's school.  It was raining, but I still decided to walk the trail since the pick-up line and carpool line were going to be nuts.   The trail was pretty soggy.  Since it was raining at pickup time, the parents met the kids inside rather than outside.  At least when we walked back to car it wasn't raining.

Blanca came over at 3:45 and I tutored.

When I got home we got dinner ready.  We had corned beef and couscous.

Evan is finishing his homework now and then we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Back to School for Evan

This morning Evan went back to school.

I dropped Noah off at school and then went to tutor.  When I got home I did some things around the house and then got Noah from school.

We stopped at HEB to pick up my medicine and came home.

Noah and I picked up Evan from school.  He was in a good mood and seemed to have a good day.  He was excited about playing football again with his friends at recess.

We spent the afternoon at home and then I tutored at 6pm.

When I got home we had a PF Changs frozen meal for dinner.

The boys are in their rooms now.

Movie Morning

This morning Morry and I went to see a move (This is 40) at the Alamo Drafthouse while Grandmom watched the boys.

When we got home Morry, Grandmom, Evan, and Noah went to Dicks Sporting Goods to go shopping for new shoes.

This afternoon Morry and the boys played baseball in the front yard and Morry said Noah was hitting the ball really well.

For dinner we went to Logan's.

Morry is reading to the boys now.  Tomorrow is a school day for both Evan and Noah.

Matt, Rachael and Max

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I mentioned this before but with Evan not in school, he's sleeping later and therefore getting up later.  The boys got up at 9am today.  I helped Evan put together the Legos that Grandmom bought him yesterday.

For brunch we went to a place called Cafe Java.  We hadn't been there before.  It was up in North Austin, but we figured we'd try it out.  Both Rachel and I enjoyed our food.

When we came home, I did a bit of work while the boys played both with some football toys that Grandmom bought as well as the iPad and iPhone.

At 4pm, Matt, Rachael and Max came over.  Max liked playing with Evan and Noah since they were the big kids.

Rachel met Melissa for dinner, while the rest of us went to Johnny Carino's.

When we got home I put the boys to bed.  They are still up though.  Rachel came home a bit ago.

Until next time...

Boys with Grandmom

I dropped Noah off at school and then went to tutoring and a meting. Evan and Grandmom spent the day together.  They went toy shopping.

I picked up Noah, came home to eat lunch, and then went out for another meeting.  The boys stayed home with Grandmom.

Evan had his first basketball practice today.  Morry said he did well and seemed to enjoy it. 

After the practice they came home and picked up Noah and Grandmom and went to eat dinner at Red Lobster.

We just got the boys ready for bed and Morry is reading to them now.

More Baseball and Grandmom

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The boys woke up late again this morning - around 9am.  Evan has been going to sleep much later than he does when school is in and therefore he is sleeping later.  He's going to have a tough day on Monday when he goes back to school.

Rachel was tutoring again for the girl who she tutored for yesterday.  She brought both Evan and Noah this time and they both brought their baseball gloves.  They played with the 5-year-old.  Then they played Legos with her as well.

From there, they went to Noah's gymnastics.  While they were at the Little Gym, Grandmom came in.  Grandmom rented a car and drove over to the Little Gym and was able to see Noah.

In the afternoon, Rachel had an MB Squared thing to do.

I was at a client's today and I got home a bit before 5pm.  We needed to leave almost right away to go to another lesson for Evan.  Grandmom and Noah came with us.

Evan did very well.  This lesson was split between throwing, hitting and fielding.  The coach had only seen Evan hit before today.  Evan did well throwing initially, and then did pretty well at hitting.  The coach said he has a nice swing - that he just needs to keep working on aligning his feet and keeping his head down.  Then he had Evan field ground balls and throw them to a target.  The coach was very impressed.  He was actually kind of laughing he was smiling so much at Evan's fielding.  When Evan was done, he said to me that Evan's fielding is better than the 10-year-olds he works with.  He said he didn't have to correct him once and that his foot work is good as he fields the ball and turns to throw.

After that, we got dinner at Trudy's.  We picked up food for Rachel.

The boys are now in bed.

Until next time...

Texas-Style Sledding

This morning both boys slept lats.  Noah woke up a little before 9am and Evan woke up about 9am.  That's pretty late for Evan.  I think they were still recovering from New Year's Eve.

We dropped Noah off at school (his first day back), and Evan came with me to tutoring.  The house where I tutor has a little girl in kindergarten. 

At my tutoring, Evan started out just playing with their Legos while the girl played in her room, but later they went outside and next thing I knew they were playing baseball.  I'm sure that was Evan's idea.  It seemed like they had a good time and the family said they would like me to bring the boys tomorrow too while I tutor.

I told Evan we could get a special snack after tutoring if he was good. He wanted to go to Rita's but when we drove up they were closed (not open yet).  We went across the street to a frozen yogurt place and Evan picked out his on concoction of sour apple frozen yogurt, fruit, and a few candy pieces. 

We can home for a little while, but I could tell Evan was bored.  He kept asking what/where we could go.  I decided to take him to the park and try sledding down the dry hill on cardboard.  I had done that before as a kid and thought maybe he would enjoy it.

He loved it!  We did that until it was time to get Noah.

After picking up Noah we went to the bank so the kids could put their own money into their bank accounts.

At home Evan and I ate lunch while Noah played Wii.

We took it easy this afternoon.

Morry got home around 6:30 and we made dinner.  We had pork tenderloin, couscous, and veggies.

Morry and the boys are reading now and then they'll go to bed.

Here's a picture and video from today.

First day of 2013

Last night was nice and the boys all did well.  They slept until about 8:30am.

Morry made pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Jack's dad came around 11am to pick him up.

I took the boys in the cul-de-sac for a while. They rode bikes and played with acorns.

Later in the day Morry took the boys out front to play baseball.

Morry, Evan, and Noah watched the movie Paranorman while I took a nap.

For dinner we had leftovers from last night.

Morry is reading to the boys now.

Noah has school tomorrow, but Evan's school doesn't go back until Monday.

Happy New Year

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was a normal workday for me.  I got up and helped Noah get his breakfast.  Evan actually got up later than Noah did.  They played Wii for a while while I worked.

Later in the morning, Rachel took the boys to run some errands.  When Rachel got home, she cleaned.  We had Jack and his family over for New Year's Eve.

When I got done working I rolled out pizza dough and pre-baked it so that it would cook faster when we were going to eat.  We let everyone put their own toppings on several pizzas and baked them.

As soon as Jack and his family got here, all the kids immediately ran upstairs to play.  Jack and Evan hadn't seen each other since school ended.  We had appetizers and talked with John and Randa.  Then we had the kids make their pizza and eat.  When they were all done, we put on a movie upstairs for the kids and then made our pizzas and ate them.

The kids were super wild and didn't seem to be slowing down at midnight.  We said Jack could stay over.  John, Randa and Audrey went home.

All three boys are in bed, but not asleep yet.  Hopefully they go to sleep soon.

Until next time...
