Halloween and the Last Few Days

Thursday, we walked to school and brought Evan's marble machine project.  From there, I walked with Lorena and Morry and Lizzy walked home.

After walking I went to HEB.

We walked to get the boys at school and then went to the Book Fair.

My tutoring got canceled.

Evan and Morry went to baseball practice.

Noah and I walked to the neighborhood farmer's market.

Later, we went to get Zayde at the airport.

Morry and Evan picked up Pho Thai Son for all of us on their way home from practice.

Friday, it rained really hard for most of the day.  We drove the boys and our neighbors Brody and Drew to school.  The 2nd graders' classrooms are in portables and they were not allowed in their portables all day.  They even had a tornado drill. Noah's class got to spend the day in the computer lab.

For lunch, Morry, Jack, and I went to Wholy Bagel.  There was a lot of water on the roads and we had to take a detour at one point to avoid a huge flooded area in the road.

We drove to pick up the kids from school.

For dinner, we went out to dinner with Grandma and Papa and Zayde to Evangeline Cafe.

Today, we took it easy in the morning and made waffles and pancakes for breakfast.

Morry, the boys, and Zayde went to Barnes and Noble while I went for a run.

Later in the afternoon Aaron's family came over and we all went to the block party in our cul-de-sac.  Grandma and Papa, Jack and John, and Mandy's parents joined us as well.  Aaron went to pick up pizza from Via 313.

Morry and I took the kids trick-or-treating with John, Jack, and Audrey.

We got home around 8:30.  It was fun night.

The kids are in bed now.

Moving Day Part 2

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Grandma and Papa got in late last night - around 11.  We didn't know if they'd get up to walk with us to school.  But they got up and were able to walk.

Grandma, Papa and Rachel sat down for breakfast here before the big day started.  Then Grandma and Papa went to their house.

The AT&T guy got to their house a little after 11.   I was going to stay but the movers got to our house.  They had left Dallas early in the morning but they ran into traffic leaving Dallas.   They came to our house first because we were getting Grandma and Papa's fridge.  The movers moved our old fridge into the laundry room and then moved the new-to-us fridge into the kitchen.  Then they went to Grandma and Papa's to complete the move.

We picked up the boys and Jack from school.  We stopped at Grandma and Papa's on the way home.  We let the boys play for just a few minutes and then went home.  The boys were able to walk back when they finished their homework.  Rachel tutored Jack and then Audrey.

We had dinner at our house.  Rachel made corned beef and baked potatoes.  We were able to eat outside on the porch.

Grandma and Papa left to stay at their house for the first time.

The boys just showered and are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Moving Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was MUCH less crazy than yesterday morning.  We managed to get into the house without incident.  And we also managed to avoid bleeding.  So all-in-all, it was a positive morning.

It was not a standard morning for Grandma and Papa.  Today was moving day for theme.  The movers got to their house a bit before 8am.  The movers will drive to Austin tomorrow morning and unload tomorrow.

Later in the morning I went into Aaron's.

Rachel got a call from the vet later.  Flash was doing better.  He had a slight fever this morning but by lunch, the fever was gone.  The big issue was he was not eating.  They had tried several kinds of food but he wasn't eating at all.  They asked Rachel to drop off some of his regular food and bring in some things that smelled like home.  Rachel brought in food, one of Flash's toys, and a pillow case off of Evan's bed.  Rachel was able to see him, though she couldn't touch him.  He's off in a room in a cage by himself.  When Rachel talked to him, he meowed.  Shortly after Rachel left, the vet called her to tell her that he immediately ate his own food.  And he was laying on the pillow case.  That was good news.

Noah had Math Pentathalon in the afternoon, so just Evan and I walked home.

I took Evan to football practice in the late afternoon.  Noah was alone for a bit before Rachel got home for tutoring.

Evan had a good football practice.  It's nice that that is becoming the norm.

For dinner, we had tacos.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.  Grandma and Papa should be here later tonight.

Until next time...

Crazy Morning, Poor Flash

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Normally when we walk the boys to school, we leave through the third garage door.  It has a remote keypad.  We don't bring keys with us because we just punch in the code.  In the meantime, we've added some things to prevent a potential thief from circumventing the garage door opener.  As we left this morning, we hit the keypad to have the door go down.  It didn't go down and required us to hit the button several times.  We walked the boys to school and then came back.  As we tried to get into the garage, the keypad just wasn't working.  No matter how many times we pressed the code and hit open, it didn't work.  We don't have a key hidden outside and we're very good about locking all the doors and windows.  Just before we called a locksmith, Rachel thought to check to see if the keypad was battery powered.  So I opened it up and it was.  The backlight was still coming on on the keypad, but we had hope.  Rachel went across the street to see if our neighbor had a battery, but they weren't home.  Just as she was walking back, other neighbors came home.  We told them our dilemma and then went and got a 9V battery for us.  I put it in and, thankfully, the garage door opened.

When we got in, we decided to call the vet.  Flash was sneezing quite a bit yesterday.  He ended up sleeping on my legs which he never does last night.  This morning he didn't do any of his normal routine.  Rachel looked at him and he had a goopy eye.  The vet said to bring him in and Rachel made a 10am appointment.  Around 9:25 we started our attempt to get him into the carrier.  We got Mottel's old soft carrier.  Flash was sitting on Evan's bed.  Rachel sat with him and I brought it up.  I closed the door behind me as I came in the room.  Rachel grabbed him but he squirmed and used his back legs and claws to kick off of Rachel's stomach.  He got under the bed.  I was able to coax him out and Rachel grabbed him again but again, he was able to claw her and get away.   This time I had Rachel flush him out of the bed and I grabbed him and we were able to put him in the carrier but we could not zip it in time.  He really scratched our hands up and peed in the carrier and managed to get away and under the bed again.  It was now around 9:45.  So I finally said, enough is enough.  Rachel went and got Calvin's hard carrier while I picked up Evan's mattress and put it against the wall.  Then I picked up the box spring so Flash didn't have anywhere to hide.  I was able to get Flash again and we were able to shove him in the carrier and close it.  Not before, Flash had really ripped up my right hand.  One cut wasn't very wide but it went really deep.  I think his claw must have gotten stuck in my finger.  I felt it as I was getting him in there.  By this time it was after 9:50.  Rachel called the vet and told them she'd be late.

When Rachel got to the vet, they took Flash's temperature.  It was 105.  The normal range for a cat is between 100 and 102.  They wanted to do a chest x-ray.  They were able to get one x-ray but on the second x-ray, Flash bit the technician.  Flash is not up-to-date on his rabies vaccine.  It was due in August.  Calvin is on a November schedule. So we decided to hold off getting Flash's vaccinations until November so they could go together.  We knew it was tough to get Flash, so we thought bringing both of them at the same time was not only convenient but would help calm Flash.  The problem is that since Flash bit someone at the vet and he wasn't vaccinated, the city requires that Flash go into quarantine for 10 days.  The technician actually had to go and be treated for the bite.  The vet was supposed to find out where they could quarantine Flash and let us know.  He needs his antibiotics and animal control might not be equipped to handle that so they were planning on quarantining him at the vet.  We have not yet heard from the vet as of this writing.  We're trying to find out where he is.

So it was an eventful morning.  The rest of the day was fairly standard and uneventful. The morning more than made up for it.

Until next time...

Goosebumps

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It wasn't raining in the morning when I got up.  But it was very overcast and in the 50s.  I told the boys we could go to the movies.  They chose to see Goosebumps.  Rachel stayed at home.

The boys were well behaved, as always, at the movie theater.  We all enjoyed the movie.  Evan really enjoyed it.  On the way home, we picked up our tickets for Star Wars.  Then we stopped for gas.

The boys had lunch when we got home.

Rachel cleaned for much of the day.

The boys also had to clean up the game room.

We had steak for dinner.  For dessert, we went to TCBY.  We stopped at Grandma and Papa's on the way home to return rags and pick up their mail.

The boys are showering.  Then they'll go to bed.

Until next time...

No Sports or Dallas

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night, Rachel and I went out with Jack and Audrey's parents for their mother, Randa's birthday.  We got a babysitter to watch the boys.

Earlier in the day, the boys got their report cards.  Noah got all 4's (the highest) and Evan got all A's with the exception of a B+ in one subject and a B in another.  We were proud of them.

We had planned to go to Dallas today to help Grandma and Papa pack.  We were going to go after Evan's football game this morning.  But due to rain, we didn't do any of that.  Football was cancelled and the rain was significant the entire way up I-35.  I know we've had over 9 inches of rain in the last 24 hours (as of about 5pm today) and it hasn't stopped raining.  I'm sure we're over 10 inches by now.

We made waffles for brunch.  Later in the afternoon, the boys and I watched Minority Report and had popcorn.

Before dinner, we took the boys to get their hair cut at Sport Clips.  Then we ate at Craig O's next door for dinner.  We stopped at HEB on the way home and did some shopping.

The boys are having dessert and then they'll go to bed.

Until next time...

Some rain

We got some rain overnight, but were still able to walk to school. It was a little drizzly when we first left the house.

I walked to get the boys from school and Morry met us there.

I left to tutor.

Evan was supposed to have baseball practice, but it got canceled due to a threat of rain.  Instead, Morry took the boys to Costco.  The kids ate there.

We all got home around the same time.

Morry and I had leftover chicken for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

At Home

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning we walked to school.  It was overcast and threatening to rain but the rain held off.

Rachel and I stayed home all day.  She went to go for a run but by that time it had started to rain.  Rachel ran on the treadmill.

It was clear enough to walk to pick the boys up.  Jack walked home with us as well so Rachel could tutor him.

Evan and I played football outside later in the afternoon.

For dinner, I grilled hamburgers.  We also ate on the porch.  It was raining but it was fine on the covered porch.  It wasn't too hot either.

Evan is working on a marble project for school right now.

Until next time...

Tuesday, October 20, 2015

Our day

This morning we walked to school.  It was nice and cool outside - low 50s.

I took it easy at home and then left for tutoring around 2:15pm.  Morry went to get Evan at school.  Noah had Math Pentathlon this afternoon.  Owen's mom dropped him off afterwards.

As I was coming home from tutoring, Morry and Evan went to meet Daniel, Darius and a few others to play either football or baseball.

They got home around 7pm and we had dinner - garlic chicken and rice.

The boys are taking showers and then they'll get ready for bed.

Goodbye Grandma and Papa...But Not For Long

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning everyone got up to take the boys to school.  Grandma and Papa wanted to come.  Before we left, Lizzy was really ready to go.  She was just standing staring at the door into the garage.

Later in the morning Grandma and Papa left to meet the flooring person at their house and run some errands before they left to go back to Dallas.

I went into Aaron's to deal with Your Trainer stuff.

I stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.

The temperature was nice today.  It was in the low 80s.  It made it nice to walk to get the boys in the afternoon.

Rachel left around 4:30 to tutor.  I played Nintendo with the boys and then we went outside and played football until Rachel got home.

We had leftovers for dinner.

After dinner I bought tickets for us to see Star Wars when it comes out.  The boys are very excited.

The boys are about to go up to bed.

Until next time...

Cleaning and Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had a baseball game at 9am.  He stayed over Wade's house last night so I told Wade's mom I'd get him at 7am.  He was ready to go when I got there.   We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way.

The team that Evan was supposed to play did not show up at 9am.  It turns out they told the tournament organizers they weren't playing this weekend but they never changed the schedule.  We were able to play a different team in back-to-back games but not until 10:45.  So we had a light practice during our regular game slot and then played.  It would have been nice to not have to get up so early.  I would have appreciated that.

The Bucs won 5-4 in the first game and 5-1 in the second game.  Evan played third base in 9 of the 10 innings they played.  He did really well.  He's really a natural third baseman.  He struck out in his two at-bats in the first game but batted better in the second game.

Grandma and Papa wanted to clean their house today from all the construction dirt and the dirt of the last owners.  Rachel and Noah went with them to help.  Noah was a really big help.  Rachel left to come see Evan in his second game but Noah stayed behind and continued to help clean.  We're really proud of Noah for cleaning up so well.  Papa paid Noah for his time.

For dinner, we went to Trattoria Lisina for Uncle Marvin and Aunt Sandy's birthdays.  The food was good, as always, but it took a really really long time to get our food.

The boys are showering and about to go to bed.

Until next time...

Touchdown Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's football game wasn't until 11 this morning so we slept in some.  He had to be at the fields at 10:30.  Noah came with us.

Evan's team got the ball first.  The first pass of the game was thrown to Evan.  He managed to make the first guy miss. As the first guy fell, though, he hit Evan's foot which caused Evan to lose his balance.  Evan caught himself but it was enough time for the other defenders to come over and pull his flag.  The third play of the game they threw to Evan in the middle of the field.  He made the first guy miss again, hit the sidelines and ran all the way for a touchdown.  Unfortunately, there was an offside penalty on Evan's team so it didn't count.  The other team got the ball but were stopped with a 3 and out.  Evan's team got the ball.  They tried the exact same pass as the one that scored the touchdown that was called back.  This time the defender and Evan jumped up to get the ball and it was tipped in the air.  Evan came down with the tip, ran to the side and then turned it up and ran all the way for a touchdown again.  This time it counted.  He was really happy.  He didn't get another touchdown.  But when he played on defense he blitzed the quarterback and forced a bad throw that led to a pick-6.  He was very happy with the game.

Evan, Noah and I stopped at Smoothie King for smoothies on the way home.

Rachel had left to go to a baby shower for Lauren up in Round Rock.  She stopped at Ikea to return something while she was up there.

Grandma and Papa came in today but they went straight to their house to drop stuff off and look at the house.  Rachel was on her way home from the shower.  I had to take Evan and Jack to Wade's birthday party.  I was going to leave Noah at the house alone because Rachel was going to be home shortly.  Grandma called him and asked if he wanted to walk to their house.  So they met half way.  Noah left the house on his own.  He set the alarm correctly.  And met Grandma half way.  He then was worried that I'd get back from dropping Evan off and be worried he wasn't there.  So he made sure that Grandma called me so I knew where he was.  Noah is really becoming a grown up.

For dinner, we went to Flores restaurant.  It was just ok.  Evan is staying at Wade's house tonight.  I will get him early for our baseball games tomorrow.

Until next time...

Noah the Architect

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Noah had an assignment this week to build a bridge.  They could use any material they wanted.  It had to be at least one foot long but no longer than 2 feet.  And it had to be strong enough to have a Hot Wheels go across the bridge.  Noah built his bridge out of cardboard and a shoe box completely on his own.  Rachel and I did not help him at all.  He walked with it going to school this morning.  When I dropped him off in the cafeteria, all the other kids' bridges were obviously built by their parents.  They were all colorful and everything was perfectly done.  We warned Noah that this would be the case and told him that we were proud of him for doing it on his own.  Grades for Kindergarten thru second grade are given on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the highest.  Noah received a 4 for his bridge.  The teacher also wrote a nice short note praising Noah for doing it by himself.  He was the only kid in his class to not have any parent helping him.

Rachel went to Houston today for a checkup.  She left around 9:30.  She was there for about an hour.  The doctor gave Rachel a clean bill of health and said she can resume all normal activities.  She ran into traffic on the way home and it took her a long time to get back.  She didn't get home until around 5:30.

I picked up Noah after school. Evan went over Jack's house.

Evan got home right after Rachel got home.  Evan had asked that we go to Genghis Grill for dinner.  Noah agreed.  We had a nice dinner there.  Then we stopped at Academy on the way home to get a gift for Wade.

The boys are about to go upstairs to get ready for bed.

Until next time...

Traffic and Parking

This morning we walked the boys to school.

Shortly after we got home I left for a conference.  I won a ticket to the Texas Conference for Women.  It took me two hours to get from our house to the inside of the convention center.  Traffic was bad downtown.  The two different parking lots for the convention center were full.  After driving around downtown for a while trying to find a parking spot, I was thinking about heading home.  One of the "full lot" signs said to try the parking garage at the Palmer Events Center (across the lake and quite a far walk).  I decided to try that and then figure out how to get to the convention center.  After parking there I learned they had shuttle service to the convention center.  I boarded the bus, which had quite a few others on it, and we sat for about 15 minutes before leaving.  I found out the shuttle bus only runs every twenty minutes.

I stayed at the conference until 4pm.  The lunch keynote speakers were Patricia Arquette and Robin Roberts.  I was really impressed by Robin Roberts.

I got home around 5pm as Morry and Evan were getting ready to leave for baseball practice.

At 5:30 Noah and I went to one home for tutoring.

When we got home I started heating up food for dinner.

Morry and Evan got home around 8:15 and we ate dinner.

 The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Math Pentathalon

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we walked the boys to school.  Grandmom said goodbye to the boys but did not walk with us.

Later in the morning, I took Grandmom to the airport.

For lunch, I met an old friend at Flores.  We had a nice time reconnecting.

Rachel went to a luncheon for a woman here in Circle C that was having her 5-year cancerversary.  When the woman was diagnosed some people connected Rachel with this woman so Rachel could offer advice.  Ironically, Noah and her son became buddies last year at school.  Rachel said it was a very nice luncheon.

Rachel tutored while I picked up Evan from school.  Noah stayed after because he joined the Math Pentathalon team.  They practice once a week for a while and then there is some tournament where they compete against other schools in April.  Rachel and I are both really proud that Noah decided to join.  He's with his buddy Owen.

Rachel had more students than normal so Noah came with me to Evan's football practice.  At the end of practice, Noah ran around with playing with the team.

We had pasta and leftovers for dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Sunday, October 11, 2015

Grandmom

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Grandmom came in to visit this weekend.  She was supposed to get in on Friday night but plane delays caused her to have to stay in Dallas overnight.  She came in early Saturday morning.

She was able to come to Evan's football game after that.  We then did a bit of shopping in the afternoon.  She bought Lego sets for the boys.

Late last night, Evan got a call to fill in for a baseball team today.

We stayed home in the morning then drove out and ate at Subway before the game.  Evan played in just the first game.  He played catcher and threw a runner out trying to steal third.

For dinner, we met Matt, Rachael, Tristian, Maddie and Max at the County Line BBQ.  The food service was very very slow.

The boys are showering now.

Until next time...

Everybody Loves Lizzy, Part 2

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was very overcast on our walk to school this morning, though it was still warm.

I stayed home all day.  I didn't have a meeting or go into Aaron's.

For lunch, Rachel and I went to Wholy Bagel.  We didn't get to go last Friday.  It was good to get back there.

We went to pick up Noah from school.  Evan went over Wade's house.  Wade's mom dropped Evan off at home around 5:30.

We had pasta for dinner.  Then we went to the Food Trailer Night for dessert.  We brought Lizzy again.  It was much more crowded this time.  The weather was cooler than a month ago.  I think that helped.  As soon as we got there, four girls surrounded Lizzy petting her.  She was very happy.  Later, we stopped for a second to decide where we were going to go.  This little girl holding a plate of pizza walked directly in front of Lizzy.  There were only inches between the girl and Lizzy's face.  The problem was that she was the right height for Lizzy's mouth.  The pizza on the plate passed just in front of Lizzy's mouth.  She opened to grab it but I noticed and I yanked her back at the last second.  Luckily the girl didn't lose her pizza to Lizzy.  We also so Yenis and Kevin.  Kevin was Evan's friend when he was 2 and 3 years old.  Evan didn't really remember Kevin but they walked around together.

We stopped at Grandma and Papa's on the way back.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Baseball Practice and a Halloween Costume

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

After walking the boys to school, Rachel gave Lizzy a bath.  I went into Aaron's.  I had a meeting at lunch near Aaron's with another client.

When I got home, Rachel was getting ready to go to tutoring.  She left and I walked to pick the boys up.

I helped Evan and Noah with their homework when we got home.

Evan had baseball practice at 5:30.  Just as I was leaving I got a phone call seeing if I could pick up two other boys on the team on the way to practice.  Evan has asked me if we can always pick those boys up because they had fun on the way to practice.

Practice went really well.  Evan hit well and he pitched very well.

While we were at practice, Noah and Rachel went to Walmart to pick up a Kylo Ren costume for Halloween.  Kylo Ren apparently is the new bad guy in the upcoming Star Wars movie.  They also stopped by HEB to get some fruit.

We had leftovers for dinner.

The boys just showered and are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Lunch with Noah

This morning we walked to school.

I walked back to the school later in the morning to have lunch with Noah.  By chance, Owen's mom was there to have lunch as well so we all sat together at the visitors table.

Morry and I walked to get the kids from school.  Jack came home with us for tutoring.

When Jack was done with tutoring Audrey came over for her tutoring.

We ate dinner and then I left to tutor again.

While I was gone Morry and the boys watched the Pirates game on TV.

Evan and Noah are getting ready for bed now.

Immune Builder

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan walked Lizzy on the way to school this morning.  We bumped into Brody the dog as we walked.  Brody really wanted to be with Lizzy.  It was very cute.

I went into Aaron's for a bit.  Rachel stayed home most of the morning.

I stopped at Smoothie King on my way home.  I was horrified to find out they changed my flavor.  I've been getting and Immune Builder for years and they suddenly and without consulting with me changed the flavor.  I am very upset about this development.  I have already contacted Smoothie King corporate (Not joking about that) over this change.

Rachel took Lizzy for a little walk when I got home.

Rachel went to tutoring when I left to get the boys.  Jack and Evan ran home together and Noah and I walked with Jack's dad.

After he did homework, Evan went out and played basketball with Brody (the boy).

Evan and I went to football practice.  He played well again.

We had pizza for dinner.

The boys are showering.

Until next time...

Just Another Monday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning we walked to school.  Since I wasn't here at the end of last week, Lizzy didn't get to walk to school.  She seemed happy getting to walk.

I went into Aaron's for a Your Trainer meeting in the morning.  I had a meeting with another client after lunch and then came home.

Rachel went to HEB in the morning.

We walked to get the boys.  We had set it up that Noah waited to leave school until Evan came out.  But Noah wanted to walk out on his own without Evan so Noah came walking out of school with two of his buddies.  He looked very happy.

After I was finished working, I played football outside with the boys.  When I went in to make dinner, the boys stayed outside playing wiffleball.  Some girls on the street started teasing Evan and Noah in the way that little girls tease boys.  It looked like they were having fun.

After dinner, we walked to Grandma and Papa's to get the mail and check on the house.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Back Home and Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I got back from Minneapolis late yesterday.  It was good to be back.

Evan had two baseball games starting at 12:30.  I slept in.  The boys got up and played in the Wii for a while.

Rachel and Noah came out for both games today.  Evan was really happy to have Noah there for both games.  In the first game, Evan played second base the whole game.  He walked in his first at-bat and had a solid groundout in his second at-bat.  The Bucs won fairly easily.

The second game was different.  Evan started in center field in the first inning and played second in the second inning.  He singled in his first at bat.  In his second at-bat, he had probably the best hit he had in a while but the shortstop made an amazing play to get Evan out.  Going into the bottom of the 3rd inning, the Bucs were losing 6-4.  Evan came in to pitch.  It took him 5 pitches to get out of the inning.  He looked great.  The Bucs tied it in the top of the 4th.  In the bottom of the 4th, Evan again was pitching well.  The shortstop and second baseman each made errors that led to one run scoring but Evan got out of it with just the single run.  Going in to the top of the 5th, the Bucs were down 7-6.  We got two runs to take the lead and loaded the bases for Evan at the plate.  Evan got a single scoring 2 to break it open.  He came back out to pitch the bottom of the 5th to hold on to the win.  Again he only need 5 pitches to end the inning.  He looked great.  Evan was walking on clouds after the game.

For dinner we had left over Rudy's from our dinner last night.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Playing with Friends

This morning I walked the boys to school.

I met a friend for lunch that was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

I walked to get pick up the boys at school.

Evan went home with Wade.  Noah's friend, Caleb came home with us.

Both boys had a lot of fun playing with their friends this afternoon.

For dinner, we ate at home, but then went to TCBY for dessert.

The boys are in bed now.

Waiting for Evan

This morning I walked the boys to school.

I went to a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.

I walked to pick up the boys from school.

Around 4:00 Blanca came over and I left to tutor.

Evan was picked up for baseball practice at 5:10.

I got home around 6:15.

Now, Noah and I are waiting for Evan to get home so we can have dinner.
