Since February 7

I see the last time I wrote a blog post was February 7.

I'll try to remember everything that has happened since then.

Both boys had birthdays.  Evan is now 17, and Noah is 15!

Noah had a great track season.  He learned how to pole vault and made it to the district meet.

Evan is doing very well in baseball. He's had some great hits including a home run and a left-handed hit.

Evan has been playing ultimate frisbee and was voted player of the week.  Noah joined the team at one game when they didn't have enough players, and he played well.

Noah ran the Cap10K.

We've had two Golden Retriever stashes - Teddy and Echo. Both were very cute.

Rachel, Quin, and Lennon came to visit.

We had a Passover seder at Grandma and Papa's house and celebrated Easter with the Mantis.

I gave a presentation on search engine optimization for our neighborhood networking group.

Morry and I went out to dinner at Aba.  He made the reservations months ago - probably around the time of the last blog post.

Here are some videos and pictures from the last few months. 

Pittsburgh

 Last weekend, we had a nice time in Pittsburgh. 

We went to spread Zayde's ashes but also got to spend some time with family and friends.

We met Fran, Ronald, and Rachel's families out there.  We also saw Mike and Darcy as well as Trent's families.

On Sunday, we went to the Pirates baseball game.

We stayed an extra day to do stuff around the city.

On Monday, we went to the Roberto Clemente Museum.

Here are pictures from the trip.

Long Time No Post

Hell everyone, this is Morry.

It's been a long time since last posted.  It looks like it has been 12 days.  In that time, the family took a trip to Tucson, and the boys also went to Fredericksburg with Grandma and Papa.

We spent 5 days in Tucson seeing Aunt Fran and Uncle Scott, Uncle Ron and Aunt Kelly, as well as Aunt Rachel, Uncle Dax, Quin and Lennon.  But the real reason we were in town was to celebrate Zayde's 85th birthday.  We had a nice dinner on Saturday night.  On Sunday night, our host family cooked paella for everyone and we ate out in the backyard.  The boys enjoyed seeing everyone.

On Friday, Grandma and Papa took the boys to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's a small town about an hour west of us.  They have a Pacific World War II museum there that the boys wanted to see.  They really enjoyed it.  Apparently, they spent about 3 hours there and could have spent more.  Some of the museum was being remodeled.

This morning, Rachel and I took Chewie to Emma Long Park which has a 3-mile leashless trail.  Chewie had a great time.  He was really good about staying with us and any time he got hot, he'd run into the creek that the trail followed.  The hike was nice as it's in the woods and fully shaded, so the temperature was not uncomfortable.

Evan was home shortly before going to Reid's house where he'll stay the night.  Rachel, Noah and I had dinner at Chuy's. 

We're home now and Noah is upstairs.

Until next time...

Tucson

On December 21 we drove to Tucson and came back home on December 26.

Morry's brother Ronald also came to Tuscon to visit with their dad and sister.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

We had a nice time, but it was a lot of driving.  It took about 13.5 hours each way.
