Hi!  Did you miss us?

We've had a busy summer so far.  Here's what's been going on since the last post.

Morry and I flew with the boys to Greensboro, NC to drop the off at camp.  We got there the night before camp.  Overnight, Evan's ear was bothering him so much that we ended up video conferencing with a doctor and getting a prescription for what was most likely and ear infection.

Camp drop off went well.

From Greensboro, Morry and I drove to Richmond and spent a few days there with Fran and Scott.  Morry's new job is based out of Richmond, so he worked most of the days at the office.  I was able to explore Richmond a little bit.

Fran and Scott picked up the boys from camp and Fran flew home with them.   Then, she spent a few days with us here in Austin.  We had a great time.

We went on a big trip to Canada with Grandma, Papa, Michael, Jen, Maya, and Artie.  We spent a few days in Calgary and a few days in the Banff area.  It was beautiful there and we had a really nice time.  We just got back late Sunday night.

Now we have less than 3 weeks left before school starts.

Today, I tutored and the kids stayed at home most of the day.

Evan went to Grandma and Papa's for dinner and then we walked to pick him up.

Now the boys are playing video games.

Here are a few pictures from the summer.

Trip to Philadelphia and Summer Camp

We were gone for about a week.

We started out in Philadelphia to celebrate Grandmom's birthday and Avery's Bat Mitzvah.  Then, we drove to Greensboro, NC to drop the kids off at camp.   They will be there until July 15 when Fran and Scott pick them up.  Then, Fran will fly them back to Austin.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Long Time No Blog

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I didn't realize we hadn't written the blog since Friday.  So here's a quick recap. 

Saturday, Evan had football practice followed by a team meeting for his baseball.  Evan was excited for the team meeting because he got to see his teammates after being off for a month.  Josh came home with us and stayed the night.

Sunday, Evan had a football game.  During the first play of the game, Evan pulled a flag and he intercepted a pass on the second play.  Meanwhile, Noah went to a info session for the 6 Points camp he and Evan went to last year.  He volunteered during the session to speak and talk about his experience at the camp for the prospective campers.  After that they went to Sunday school and then we went to dinner with Grandma and Papa at Rudy's.

Monday, the kids went to school.  Rachel had to go into school for a teacher in-service day for a bit.  I went into the new Touch To office.  In the evening the boys and I watched the College Football Championship.

Today, I went to Camp Gladiator after taking Noah to school.  Rachel went into to teach.  After that I went into Touch To.

Rachel had a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch at Whole Foods in the afternoon.

For dinner, Evan went to Grandma and Papa's house and had dinner with Grandma.  They had steel-head trout.  Rachel, Noah and I just had leftovers.

We walked to pick Evan up.

Now the boys are in bed.

Until next time...

Camp --> July 4th

Here is a summary of the last few weeks.

The kids had summer camp at 6 Points Sports Academy from June 20 - July 2.  We drove them to Greensboro, NC.

Our road trip started on June 16.  We spent one night in Auburn at a hotel.  Then, we stayed with Lissa's family in Atlanta for 2 nights.  Next, Greensboro for one night and then we dropped the kids off at camp.  Then, Morry and I stayed at Jamie's family's house for one night in Atlanta. After that we went to Rosemary Beach, FL for 2 nights.  Finally, drove back home to Austin.

Fran and Scott drove to Greensboro from Richmond, VA to pick up the kids. Then, Fran flew them back to Austin.

Fran is still here visiting but will go home tomorrow.

The kids had a great time at camp.  In Noah's letter, he asked if he could stay longer.

On July 3, we had a neighborhood block party on our street.  We were able to watch the fireworks from the nearby golf course.   It was a fun night.

On July 4, we had a small party at our house.  Grandma, Papa, Aaron's family, Mandy's parents, and Deborah came over.

Today, we took Lizzy to the dog park at the lake and then had lunch at Terry Black's Barbecue.

For dinner, we ate at home, but then went to watch the bats come out from the Congress bridge.

After that, we went to Sno Monster for dessert.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
