Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We drove Noah to school this morning. It wasn't raining but there was rain predicted. It seemed like it could rain at any moment so we didn't want to chance it. We did just drive to the trail rather than the front of the school, though.
I had a meeting at 8:30. After the meeting finished, Rachel and I went to school for a 5th Grade Science Day for Noah. They showed us some of the things they worked on and performed some experiments for us. Noah seemed happy to have us there. It also marked the last school event that we'll go to other than Graduation at Clayton Elementary.
Rachel left to tutor not too long after Evan got home. Then I dropped Noah off at his football practice and took Evan to his practice.
For dinner, we picked up Me Con Bistro. At dinner, Evan told us about his science work in his Engineering Design Problems class. He and a partner had to build something to keep an egg safe when dropping it. They used a drone to lift the project up and drop it from varying heights. Evan and his partner were able to build a case for the egg that survived a 300 foot drop. They won third place in the class.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.
Until next time...

The Seattle Krasnows
Last night Michael's family came in from Seattle.
We all at dinner together at Grandma and Papa's house.
This morning the boys and I went over there for breakfast and hung out for most of the day together.
We walked to the Clayton playground.
For lunch we all went to Polvos. Morry picked up Evan from lunch to take him to baseball lessons.
After lunch, Noah went with Michael, Jen, Maya, and Artie to get ice cream from Amy's Ice Cream. Then, they dropped Noah back off at home.
We went back over there for dinner.
Evan went over to Reid's house to spend the night.
Here are some pictures from today.

Another Last
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
With Noah in 5th grade, and this being our eighth and final year at Clayton Elementary School, we're noting all the lasts that we're doing. So today, when Noah and I walked to school, we realized this was the last time we'd ever walk to school in the morning for school in September.
I worked from home in the morning and then left for HomeAway around mid-morning. We had a meeting and then a team lunch.
Rachel went to a luncheon celebrating Breast Cancer Survivors today. One of the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls that lives near us, picked Rachel up and brought her.
Rachel and I got home around the same time. We got Chewie and walked to get Noah from school.
I worked from home, in the afternoon, and then took Evan to baseball practice. Actually it wasn't practice as the fields were not available tonight. They put on a clinic on managing money and understanding how to save money for the boys. They had all four teams there - the 13U, 14U, 16U and 18U. Perhaps Evan is a little too young for that, but it's good for him to hear.
Evan and I picked up MOD pizza on the way home for all of us. We came home and ate together.
The boys are upstairs playing and then they'll get ready for bed soon.
Until next time...

Construction
This morning we walked Noah to school and then I left for work.
There was construction and a lane was blocked off, so I ended up being 5 minutes late to work. I texted them, and it wasn't a big deal, but still, it was annoying.
From school, I met a woman that Dad/Papa put me in contact with. She recently moved here and he knew her from Dallas. She lives in the neighborhood and has kids in elementary school. We met for lunch at Crepe Crazy and had a nice time.
From there, I came home for just a few minutes to let Chewie out and drop off my stuff. Then, I went to physical therapy.
When I got home we left to walk to pick up Noah from school.
When Evan got home, Noah and Evan walked over to Clayton. They made some videos and then played baseball with some other kids that happened to be there.
For dinner we had leftovers.
Soon the kids will get ready for bed.

Nothing Today
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We didn't have any commitments today. Neither boy had camp. Neither boy had any friend commitment or sports commitment. Because of that we didn't have to get up early.
I worked all morning. I did have two phone meetings. For some of the time, Evan sat at my desk with me and he worked on his computer.
We had lunch at home. Then Rachel took the boys out to get books for camp next week. They went to Half Price Books.
Later in the afternoon, the boys walked by themselves to Clayton to play and make a new movie.
After they got back, we took the boys to get haircuts. Then we came home and had dinner.
We walked to Grandma and Papa's after dinner to bring a parking pass for Papa. Lizzy walked with us.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Hello, Zayde
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We had a thunderstorm overnight. I believe it brought hail. At least I think that's what I heard on the windows. It was still too wet to walk this morning. It was threatening to rain some more so we just drove to be safe.
I went in to Aaron's to finish up a project we've been working on. We worked through some of the details.
Rachel went into Clayton because Evan was having his Track & Field Day. It had to be inside because of the rain. Evan was glad to have Rachel watch.
The rain held off long enough to walk to get the boys today. Jack came home with us for tutoring.
Just before dinner, the boys and I went and picked Zayde up from the airport. The airport was crazy busy with all the South by Southwest people coming in.
Rachel had dinner waiting for us when we got home.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Lisa
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Rachel and Noah went for a run. They ran most of the way to Starbucks. Then they got some stuff at Starbucks and sat down. They walked most of the way home.
Evan saw a kicking tee that he wanted to buy at Academy. He had a gift card there so he and I went and he bought it. We then went to Clayton where we threw the baseball and he kicked a football off the tee.
We came home and had lunch.
After lunch, we left to go to Barry and Lisa's. Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer and had her first chemotherapy session on Thursday. We brought a fruit salad up to them. We stopped by Tiff's Treats first to get some cookies. Lisa has been using Rachel as a sounding board which I think has been good for both of them. Lisa's sister, Angie was there helping out. Barry and I played football against Evan, Noah and Lincoln. Not surprisingly, there was some questionable calls that went the way of the boys over the fathers. Evan was behind most of those questionable calls.
On the way home, we stopped at Zen for dinner. The boys ate really well there. They said they want to go back. We didn't realize that on Saturday it was Kid's Eat Free. It ended up being a very cheap meal.
Rachel is making stuff right now for the get together we're having tomorrow. Some of the families from the Bucs are coming over for the Super Bowl.

Mr. Social
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I heard the boys, Carter, Evan and Noah up around 7:30. They played nicely in the game room for a couple hours.
I got up and the boys wanted to go outside and play wiffleball. While they played, I made waffles for them. They came in and ate, then went back outside to continue playing.
Around noon, Rachel, Lizzy, Evan, Carter and I walked to Clayton. Noah refused to go so we left him at home. We stopped by to take a look at the pond and then Evan, Carter and I played football in the fenced-in field. We let Lizzy off the leash there and she had a great time running around the field as well.
When we came back, Carter and Evan played outside a bit more before Carter's mom came and got him.
Evan got invited to stay over Josh's house tonight. So after taking it easy in the afternoon, I took Mr. Social over to Josh's. Tomorrow they plan to go to a pond to fish. Evan has a fishing pole he got from Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen so he brought it to Josh's.
Since Noah was without Evan, he got to choose what we would do tonight. He chose to go to Genghis Grill and eat. After that, we walked across the parking lot and went to Cafe Monet. Cafe Monet is one of those places where you paint pottery. Noah painted a cat bowl for Calvin.
We stopped at HEB on the way home.
Noah is about to go to bed soon. In the morning, he and Rachel are running the Race for the Cure.

T-shirt Contest
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Several weeks ago, the boys teamed up in creating a design for their elementary school t-shirt as part of a contest. On Friday, Rachel got a call from the school telling us that Evan and Noah's design was the winner. Rachel asked if we could tell the boys and the lady said that the boys would know when we picked them up. But they didn't know when we got them and weren't sure what we were talking about so we felt we should tell them. To be sure, we went to the office and confirmed that the boys were the winners and that we could tell them. The lady actually said "THE" winners and stressed it. They were to be honored at the assembly this morning and we were welcome to come to watch it.
So we walked to school today without Lizzy and watched through the assembly. They announced several honorable mentions and then called up the third place kids. And then they announced the second place winner and it was Evan and Noah. We were a bit surprised since we were told they had won. The boys handled it very very well and didn't seem to be upset. I think Rachel and I were more upset. And to be honest, the principal indicated they may take concepts from the top three designs. They really liked the theme that Evan and Noah came up with which was "Clayton Rocks". Evan and Noah came up with it all on their own. At the end of the day, they were 2nd place in a school of 1000 where a huge percentage of kids submitted designs. So second place is still very good and we are very proud of them. In fact when we asked Evan if he was ok, he looked at us like we were crazy for asking and said "second place is pretty good."
I went to Aaron's and had a Your Trainer meeting for the late morning and early afternoon.
When I got home, we walked to get the boys. When we got home, Rachel and the boys took Lizzy to the vet for her annual checkup. She has lots of "old lady lumps" and we wanted to get them checked out. The vet said Lizzy appears to be in good health and had great mobility for a 12-year-old dog. She felt that most of the lumps were benign. She had a swollen lymph gland that Deborah had noticed so they took a biopsy of that and we should know in a couple days. They would like to see Lizzy for a "mapping" where they will map all of her lumps and document the sizes so we can accurately monitor them. If they have to do any biopsies they will. Poor pooch. The good news is really that from the basic checkup she is a very healthy dog.
The boys played with Christian and Connor when they got home.
We had tacos for dinner.
The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Weekend of Fun Run and Baseball
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This weekend was a very busy weekend. Evan and Noah went to a birthday party, then Noah immediately went with Rachel to the Clayton Elementary Fun Run. Evan and I were home for a bit before we went to Seguin for a baseball tournament. He had games at 6:30 and 8:15. The Bucs lost the first game but won the second. Evan broke out of his hitting slump in the second game with three hits and 5 RBIs. He also got hit by a pitch but didn't even realize it until the umpire told him to take first base. We didn't get home until 11:30 at night.
On Sunday, Evan and I left at 8am for a 10:15 game. We stopped at Donut Taco Palace. The Bucs lost a heartbreaker in the bottom of the 5th. There was a steady rain through most of the game. Evan got incredibly muddy. The mud went through his pants, through his sliding shorts and onto his boxers.
The boys cleaned up when we got home. For dinner, I met some friends from an old job. One of them is moving to San Francisco.
This morning, we walked the boys to school. Then Rachel took Lizzy on a very slow walk which is what Deborah recommended to help with her spine and hips.
I went to Aaron's for a little while and stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.
Lizzy seemed tired after her two long walks this morning so we left her at home and picked the boys up without her.
Rachel tutored in the evening and I fed the boys.
The boys are asleep now.

Absolute Joy
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Everyone is back from Dallas now. So let me give a recap of what has happened:
Thursday:
Evan and I drove up to Dallas for the funeral. When Evan saw Noah, he picked Noah up and hugged him. He completely ignored Rachel. The funeral services were very nice and the amount of people who came showed what an impact that Shirley had made.
Friday:
I worked from Dallas in the morning. I went with Rachel to the oncologist for a normal checkup. Everything was fine. Then Evan and I drove back to Dallas. Traffic was tough as it was graduation for UT on Saturday.
Saturday:
Evan had another playoff game. Unfortunately, the team lost. Evan was in a bad mood most of the day. I think he was over tired from a very tough week. In the late afternoon/evening we went to Matt and Rachael's for Matt's birthday. Rachel took Noah swimming in Dallas and there was another service on Saturday night.
Sunday:
I took Evan to the field at Clayton and pitched to him for about 45 minutes. We used balls as opposed to wiffle balls. He did pretty well. Then he went over to his friend Daniel's house. Daniel is a boy from the baseball team who lives around the corner. He was there for a couple hours. Then I picked Evan up and took him to the new pool. Daniel and his family met us there so Evan played more with Daniel at the pool. They were in the pool for an hour and a half. We got Little Caesar's for dinner. Rachel and Noah were at Bubbe's helping clean up the house.
Today:
I took Evan to school as normal. He was good this morning. Rachel drove home from Dallas with Noah and Lizzy. They got home in time to pick Evan up from school. I took the boys to tennis while Rachel tutored. The boys did well there again. Noah did very well. Afterwards the coach said to me that it was an "absolute joy" watching Noah play tennis and how much he enjoyed it. When we got home, we walked to Jack's house. I had picked up the trophy from the baseball season after the game on Saturday. Jack had left by that point. We came home and I made dinner for the boys and got dinner ready for Rachel and me for when she got home.
The boys are now in bed but not sleeping.

Very Big Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today was a very big day in terms of how much stuff we had. It started off with a Pancake Breakfast. The Clayton Elementary School teachers were putting on a fundraising drive at Applebee's. They were serving pancakes. We were told that it gets ridiculously crowded, so get there early. Noah was still sleeping, so Zayde stayed home with Noah. Rachel, Evan and I went and got there early. We were the first people there. The teachers dressed up for Halloween and the kids were supposed to dress up. Evan went as Darth Vader. We saw his teacher, Mr. Valdes, and his friends Patrick and Liam.
When we got home, Rachel and I laid down while Zayde played with Evan and Noah.
Then we went to Evan's football game. Barry, Lisa, Lincoln and Justine came to see Evan play. Noah and Lincoln played together with the football on the sidelines. In the second half, Evan got to play quarterback. The coach had him throw downfield several times. One of the times, unfortunately, he threw an interception, but overall, he did well. I was proud of him.
From football, we drove to Doc's Backyard and had lunch with the Kincarts. Lincoln insisted on sitting next to Noah which was nice. Once lunch was over, the boys went on the playground together that they have at Doc's.
We came home for a bit and the boys "relaxed" some. Then we had a block Halloween party at the end of the cul-de-sac. Evan immediately started playing football with some of the older boys. Noah asked for his big wheel and rode that around. We enjoyed spending time talking with our neighbors. The boys had so much fun that they didn't want to leave. We didn't get back to the house until 9:30. Evan was exhausted. Noah spent quite a bit of time with the 4-year-old girl across the street named Bryn. Noah told me that she was his girlfriend. It was really cute.
The boys are in bed now and I don't imagine they'll be getting out of bed. They both were very tired.

Winter in May
It felt like winter here today. It was cold and rainy. We mostly stayed indoors. Around noon we went to Clayton Elementary, where Evan will go to kindergarten, to pick up his registration packet. Kindergarten registration is tomorrow.
For lunch the boys ate really well. I was surprised. They ate all of their food.
Noah actually took a nap today. I think a few things helped. It was dark outside and he didn't have any toys in his room to distract him.
Gabby came at 3:45.
I tutored one student.
For dinner we had soup and fried matzoh.
We just gave the boys a bath and now Morry is reading to them.

School for Evan, Park for Noah
This morning I started the stew in the crock pot.
I dropped Evan off at school and then Noah and I met Bradford and Clayton at the park. Clayton is a little over a year old. Noah and Clayton didn’t really play together, but they both enjoyed being at the park. The weather was nice.
Noah and I ate lunch at home and then picked Evan up at school. All the kids were on the playground at pickup. Evan and Noah wanted to stay out there and play more.
At home I put Noah down for a nap. Evan and I went in the backyard for a little bit to look at Evan’s peach tree. It has a lot of flowers on it. We are hoping to finally get peaches on it this year.
Evan did not take a nap, though he did play quietly in the game room so that I could rest some.
For dinner, we had stew and salad. Evan and Noah had macaroni and cheese.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed. Evan is downstairs now complaining about his thumb hurting. We think maybe he got a paper cut? Hopefully, he’ll go to sleep after this.

Characters
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The day started off, as always, with Evan coming in our room. And like every weekend morning I set Evan up watching a movie with some breakfast in the game room.
At 9am, Noah got up. Our friends, Will and Bradford, invited us over for breakfast and offered to take care of the boys for awhile. We got everyone dressed and went over there. Will and Bradford have a girl, Annabelle who is Evan's age, and a 14-month-old boy, Clayton. Annabelle was funny as she was trying to tell Evan it wasn't play time, it was time to eat breakfast. Evan didn't really listen to her. Will made eggs and Bradford made blueberry pancakes. They also had potatoes. The food was all very good. It was nice having breakfast with them.
Rachel and I left and went to Scooters. Rachel got a coffee and I had a Red Bull smoothie. It was nice just sitting there talking without the boys. When we got home we cleaned some. Then Bradford brought the boys home.
The boys were very wound up when the got home. They were running around playing and screaming. They definitely are characters.
We put the boys down for naps. Evan wears a pull up for his nap. Not because he needs it, but because he insists on it. At night, he sleeps in underwear but for some reason he always insists on pulls up during naps. Well today he peed in his pull up for some reason. That was his last pull up. To get him to sleep in underwear I told him tonight we'd go to Target and get him special underwear. That got him excited and he laid down.
After naps the boys came down and I made popcorn and we played Wii.
For dinner, we went to Texas Roadhouse. We had a coupon. Rachel is eating more healthy and I knew she could get fish there, I could get a steak and Evan could get grilled shrimp. The high was in the 30s today. When we got there, I pulled Noah out of the car and he said "Cold! Brrr!" It was very cute.
The boys were well-behaved at dinner for the most part. Evan kept saying he had to poop but then didn't got when we got him in the bathroom. He made us do this 3 times. Noah discovered he could take his own shirt off and in the middle of the restaurant just took it off. He had a big smile on his face and was very proud of himself. At one point, he rubbed his nose and Evan yelled, "Noah, are you snotty?"
After dinner we went to Target. Noah was very talkative in the cart and was being very loud. Evan picked out a pack of 5 different super hero underwear and then a 2-pack of glow-in-the-dark Spiderman boxer briefs. (They look really cute on him) Then he said he had to poop again so Rachel took him while I went to get some other stuff. Noah saw the character band aids and as loud as he could yelled every character he saw: Dora, Buzz, Woody, Spiderman. We went to check out and met Rachel and Evan. We saw them from far away and Noah was yelling "hi" over and over. When we had paid the checkout lady said bye to Noah and he yelled "Bye! Bye!"
In the back of the car on the way home, they were just being so silly. I felt like they were trying to one-up each other. At some point, each started yelling "Oh, great!" I have no idea why.
They are in bed now and Evan is wearing his Spiderman boxer briefs. He's already come out several times. Noah is quiet.
Until next time...
