Lots Going On

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

After our walk to school this morning, Rachel had a call with a Point of Sale company.  She's learning it for a client of ours.  She's going to teach all the people who work in the store how to use it after she sets it up.

I helped out Mike Gordon with something he was working on.

After that I went into Aaron's.  We had a phone call with a client.  I stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.

Rachel worked on the POS and had more calls with the company all afternoon.  I ended up on the phone with the client that Aaron and I spoke to as well.  So Rachel and I were both on the phone all the way up until we needed to get the boys.

Jack came home with us for tutoring.  Audrey came after that.

Evan and I went to baseball practice.  Rachel and Noah went to the Apple store because Rachel's battery is not holding a charge as well.  Then they went to HEB.

Evan had a good practice.  He was pitching especially well tonight.  He had a good time joking around with his buddies.  The boy who was catching for him kept joking "this is it!  For the World Series!" and then they'd jump into each other's arms.  It slowed down his pitching a bit since this was happening more frequently than it should have.  But Evan was having fun.

We had pasta and leftover Home Slice for dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Grandmom

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was the end of the first week of school.  The boys seemed to enjoy their first week.

Around 11:15, Rachel and I went to Wholy Bagel from lunch.  From there we went to the Apple Store to drop off our phones to get new batteries.

We walked to get the boys.  Actually to get Noah.  Evan went home with his friend Wade.

Then I left to go to pick up our phones.

Noah had his first baseball practice tonight.  Noah and I picked up Evan from Wade's and drove to the field.  We were just about to get warmed up when it started to thunder and threaten to rain.  Practice was cancelled.

We came home for a bit and then the boys and I went and picked Grandmom up from the airport.  We went to dinner at Logan's.  The boys, and particularly Evan, at well.

Until next time...

Got some rain

This morning we walked to school.  The boys were good.

While the boys were in school Morry had a lot of work to do.  Instead of going to Wholy Bagel, I ran out and picked up lunch for us and we just ate it at home.

We were going to walk to get the boys, but we were afraid it might rain on us.  We ended up driving, but it just sprinkled a little.

Later in the afternoon we had a hard rain.

We ate dinner at home and then Morry took the boys to the mall.  Morry needed to go to the Apple Store so he took the boys with him.

They just got home and now we'll get the boys ready for bed.

Rachel's Birthday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today is Rachel's birthday. I think overall, she had a pretty nice birthday.

It started off when my alarm went off at 6:20am. Rachel noticed the light in Evan's bathroom was on. I got up and walked out into the hall. Laying on the floor right against Lizzy was Evan. He had used his blue blanket as a pillow and was laying down against her. I think it had been fairly recently that he had gotten up to pee and decided to lay down next to Lizzy after he peed. I got Evan set up in the game room with a movie playing.

I was working from home in the morning today because I had to take Mottel to the vet for a follow up appointment. I brought Evan downstairs with me to let Rachel sleep and got him set up down here and started working. Shortly before I had to leave, I went upstairs and woke Rachel up to give her the gift that we got for her. It was a 32GB iPhone. Unfortunately, you can't just buy an iPhone so I bought the gift certificate for it and wrapped the box from my iPhone.

I took Mottel to the vet and he's doing fairly well. He gained 1/4 pound which the vet was very happy about. He's had some diarrhea in the last week so she gave him a vitamin B12 shot, took a blood sample and gave me some antibiotics to give to him (along with the steroids and prozac he's currently on).

When I got home, Rachel and Evan were preparing to leave to go to the mall and then lunch. Blanca had come over to babysit for Noah. Rachel and Evan went to the Apple store where she got her iPhone. While she was filling out paperwork, they gave Evan an iPod Touch to play with and he really enjoyed it. They then stopped at Chick-Fil-A and got food for Evan as well as a cookie at the Great American Cookie Co. From there, Rachel drove to Panera for her lunch. They brought Evan's food in. Rachel got coffee and put a sleeve around it. Evan said he wanted a sleeve for his lemonade. He ate very well there and was very well behaved the whole morning.

After that Rachel came home and dropped Evan off and got her hair cut. When she got home she installed a bunch of apps on the iPhone. I think she'll enjoy using it.

For dinner tonight, we met Aunt Susan and Rachel's Aunt Donna and cousin Leslie who are in visiting from Seattle at Fish City Grill. Rachel really wanted crab. Both boys were very well behaving and Noah enjoyed sitting in Aunt Susan's lap. Evan had shrimp and some of Rachel's crab. As we were leaving Fish City, a policeman was coming in. Evan was very excited. The policeman spent some time talking to Evan and asked him what he ate. Evan was shy but he did answer the questions. It was really fun to watch.

We walked over to Yogurt Planet for some frozen yogurt. I shared with Noah while Evan had his own.

The boys are now in bed although I think I hear Evan running around upstairs. I'll probably have to go check on him in a minute.

Until next time...
