Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to write the blog because I can get it done faster. It's late at night and we just got back from seeing Jerry Seinfeld in person.
After I went to work this morning, Noah made some noise so Rachel went in and gave him his pacifier. Both boys didn't get up then until close to 10am. It was good that they slept so well.
Once they got going, they went to Walmart to look at bikes for Evan. We think we're going to get Evan's bike from Academy for his birthday. The selection at Walmart wasn't so good. We'll pick up the bike while he's napping tomorrow and give it to him on his birthday on Sunday. I'm excited to give him his bike. He's going to love it.
We had two extra tickets to see Seinfeld. When the tickets went on sale, they had a 7pm show. The tickets that were left were not great but at least we were going to go. Then they opened up a second show at 9:30. We tried again and got very good seats to that one. So we sold the 7pm tickets. I met a guy at lunch time to sell him the tickets today.
When I got home Evan was out back with Grandma/Lynn and Papa/Lenny. They are in town for Evan's birthday party tomorrow. Evan was helping Papa scoop poop. Apparently Evan had not taken a nap today. Bubbe also came with Grandma and Papa. She hasn't seen the boys since Thanksgiving.
For dinner we went with everone to a Mediterranean restaurant called Phara's. Evan was kind of cranky. He said he wanted to eat but turned down everything we offered to him. Eventually he ate. Of course, Noah was in a very good mood. The restaurant had a belly dancer. Both boys (especially Noah) were mesmerized. The belly dancer came up to Noah and let him play with the tassles on her skirt. When she went away, Noah made the more sign. It was very cute. We ate outside and after dinner, we let Evan play around. That cheered him up.
Grandma, Papa, and Bubbe took the boys home while we went to see Seinfeld. They said that Evan was very talkative the whole way home. Evan normally is very talkative with us, but he's very shy around other people. I'm glad he was talkative for other people.
Seeing Jerry Seinfeld was amazing. I'm still amazed that in the past 6 weeks I've seen two of my favorite comedians - Bill Cosby and Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld did an entirely new routine which was very good. At the end he took questions from the audience and someone, of course, asked him to say "Hello, Newman".
It's very late and we have to get up early to get ready for Evan's party.
Until next time...

Bill Cosby
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to write the blog. It's really late right now. We just got back from seeing Bill Cosby live. But I'll get to that in a minute.
Last night, Evan had a fever when we put him to bed. We decided not to close to gate to his room. That way we could check on him without having to open the gate and possibly wake him up. So this morning, at about 7:15 or 7:30, I heard Evan breathing, but it didn't sound like it was thru the monitor. I guess Evan opened his door, saw that his gate was open, walked into our room, saw we were still sleeping and laid down on the floor next to our bed. Rachel got up with Evan and took him downstairs and let me sleep.
I got up around 10am and both boys were up and playing. Evan still had a fever but he was acting normal. When I got downstairs, Rachel was squeezing oranges for orange juice and had made blueberry muffins. I think I need to sleep in every weekend if I wake up to that. Evan helped Rachel make the muffins. Unfortunately, I think he was still not feeling well and didn't really eat them. Noah did, however and yelled at Rachel when she didn't provide strawberries and blueberry muffin promptly enough.
After muffins, Rachel tutored while I took care of the boys. We watched Garfield and then went upstairs to play in the game room.
When Rachel got home, we put the boys to bed. She showered and got ready for our night and then took a nap. I watched the 2008 Steelers DVD that went thru each game and showed in detail the playoffs and the Super Bowl. It was amazing. I was pumped after watching it.
Aunt Susan came over tonight to take care of the boys while we went to dinner and to see Bill Cosby live. Rachel had gotten me tickets to see him for Valentine's Day. They were front row tickets. For dinner we went to a Middle Eastern restaurant called Phara's. It was pretty good.
We then went to see Bill Cosby who was playing at the Bass Concert Hall on the UT campus. He was really funny. It just felt like we were listening to a guy tell us his stories. I spent the entire time just being amazed that I was sitting 20 feet or less from Bill Cosby. I have watched Bill Cosby Himself countless times. In fact, I can recite most of it. I grew up watching the Cosby Show. And tonight, he was just sitting there, right in front of me. The whole experience was really neat. Rachel seemed to enjoy herself as well.
Aunt Susan said the boys did really well. She said she thinks Noah is getting sick now. I'm not surprised.
Until next time...

Valentine's Day - A Day Early
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to write the blog today.
Today, we were having someone come to clean the house. We do this a couple times a year to get a good cleaning. Typically it's before someone comes to visit. In this case, Papa/Lenny and Grandma/Lynn were coming in. The cleaning service was supposed to send a lady over at 9am. So last night Rachel and straightened up (yes, we cleaned for the cleaning lady) in preparation. Rachel got up early for this as well. However, at 9am the lady called and said she'd be a few minutes late. at 9:40, the woman still had not shown up. So Rachel called and the woman said she was lost. Well she got lost until nearly 11am. I don't know how, in Austin, you can get lost for almost 2 hours. It's just not that hard a city to get around. Unbelievable.
While the lady was cleaning, Rachel brought the boys over to meet me for lunch. We went to Matt's El Rancho for lunch. Evan was very hyper at lunch. We ordered him a quesadilla and a Shirley Temple. He didn't eat any of the quesadilla, but Noah did. Noah seemed to have a good time at lunch.
After Rachel dropped me off at work, she went to a gas station, got some gas and went through the car wash. Evan really enjoyed the car wash. He talked Noah through it by saying "Look Noah - it's coming over on that side now," and things like that. He likes to be the big brother.
Rachel put the boys down for naps when she got home but Evan was still awake when Papa/Lenny and Grandma/Lynn came. So he came downstairs to see them for a little bit. Then he went back upstairs for a nap.
When I got home, he was still napping. Rachel and I had plans to go out for an early Valentine's Day. So we exchanged gifts. I got Rachel three bags of loose leaf tea as well as a mug with a built in filter and a tea pot with a built-in filter. Rachel got me front row seats to see Bill Cosby live. I can't believe she was able to do that.
We went to the Alamo Drafthouse to see He's Just Not That Into You. I figured it was a good Valentine's movie. Plus Rachel put up with my football season. It wasn't bad as chick flicks go. Then we got dessert at Chez Zee.
Meanwhile, Evan and Noah went with their grandparents to the Waterloo Ice House. Evan ate all of the chicken out of Grandma/Lynn's chicken taco. Also there was a live band playing music (country, unfortunately). Noah was bouncing up and down to the music. Evan was outside playing on the play scape but he'd occasionally stop to dance.
Both boys are in bed now and sleeping.
