Still Cold

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was cold again this morning.  Not quite as cold as yesterday morning when it was 31 degrees with a wind chill of 26 degrees.  This morning was 33 degrees with no wind chill.  We did not walk either day.

Rachel and I had our weekly lunch at Wholy Bagel.

We did walk to pick the boys up.  The temperature was around 43 degrees.  We decided to bring Lizzy since she hadn't gotten to walk the last two mornings.  She was very excited.

In the afternoon the boys played outside some.

We had dinner delivered from the Circle C Cafe.

The boys are showering before bed.

Until next time...

Evan's Friend and Bike Riding

Today Noah didn't get to school until about 10am. He fell asleep really late last night and was still sleeping in this morning. I let him sleep until about 9:30am and woke him up for school.

Noah had a good day at school.

He stayed at home while I picked Evan up from school.

Around 4pm Evan's friend Jax and his mom, Anita came over. The boys all had a great time. They played outside some and then were doing a lot of running around upstairs.

After Jax left Evan wanted to ride his bike. Evan rode his bike around the block. He's getting a lot better about starting up on his own. He has a little bit of problems starting on a hill, but for the most part he did a good job. He also needs to work on breaking. He tends to use his feet to stop the bike.

For dinner we had food from the neighborhood pool grill delivered to us.

We are going to get the boys ready for bed now.

More sickness

Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel is not feeling well so I'm writing the blog tonight.

It seems that Rachel got whatever bug it was that Evan has. Evan has been complaining that his tummy hurts on and off the whole weekend. Last night Rachel said she was feeling nauseous. This morning it really hit her. It seems that is probably what Evan has been meaning when he said his tummy hurts. Rachel got up this morning, early, around 7:15 when the boys got up. She got Noah first and then went into Evan's room. She felt so badly that she closed the gate to Evan's room, but the boys on the floor and laid down in Evan's bed until the nausea subsided.

Needless to say, Rachel and the boys did not do much of anything today. Rachel has gotten a work-from-home position with a company called Cha-Cha. It's a sales position but basically Rachel can work as much or as little as she wants a month. She had to sit on a webinar from noon until 1pm today. The boys were very well behaved while she was on the phone.

I got home around 5:30 or 5:45. Rachel was laying in bed. I got the boys up and we came downstairs. Evan really has not gotten his appetite back. I fed Noah and ordered food from the Circle C Catering. They deliver and I just ordered a cheeseburger. Evan watched Toy Story 2 while Noah and I ate.

Noah is really trying to talk a bunch now. He can't say a whole lot, but he's really trying. He definitely says "cheese". He also has started to say "Hi" and wave his hand. Rachel came downstairs and sat on the big chair and Noah crawled over and wanted to get up. Rachel said "up?" to Noah and he tried to repeat it but it was more like he was blowing up towards his face with his lower lip out. It was funny. But he was definitely was trying to repeat what she said. Oh and yesterday, when signing the gesture for "more" he actually said "mo". For those of you who may remember, Evan used to say "mo-mo" for more for a long time.

Both boys are in bed now. Rachel should be in bed. I think she's laying on the couch. I hope that Noah and I can avoid this bug and I hope that Rachel and Evan feel better very quickly.

Until next time...
