Goodbye Grandma and Papa

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Grandma walked with us to take the boys to school.  As we were walking away from the school, Crystal came up.  In fact, Lizzy saw her before we did and just stopped and wouldn't walk away until she said hello to Crystal.  Then she saw her golden retriever puppy friend.

Rachel, Grandma and Lizzy went to the Circle C Park for a walk.  Lizzy got to swim in the creek.

I went into Aaron's for a meeting.

Papa got to the house to get Grandma around lunchtime.  Rachel, Grandma and Papa went to lunch and they left from the restaurant to go home.

It looked like it was going to rain but we walked to get the boys.  It sprinkled on us while we walked but not enough to get us wet.

Noah had tennis in the afternoon.

Rachel went to tutor.  I played football outside with Evan, Brody and Brody's sister Drew.  Then when they went home for dinner, Noah came out and he rode around on his bike for a long time.  He did well. I only helped him get on and get started and then he'd ride around the cul-de-sac until he fell.  I didn't follow him or hold him up or anything.  We need to teach him how to start and stop by himself but he's really getting there.

We had left overs for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Upshaws

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning Grandma and Papa walked with us to take the boys to school.  Lizzy got to see both Crystal and her golden retriever puppy friend.

I went to Aaron's after we got home.  Grandma and Papa went out with a realtor to look at houses.

Rachel, Grandma and Papa went to Wholy Bagel but I couldn't join them.

For dinner, Aunt Susan came over and brought Pollo Rico.  Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan came over as well.  Evan, Noah and Jeremy were running around upstairs at one point.  When they came downstairs all of them had bright red faces and were sweating.   It was a nice time.

The boys are going to bed now.  We've got a big day tomorrow with the boys' birthday party.

Until next time...

Baseball Practice

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We had a very normal morning this morning.  We walked to school.  Lizzy got to see both her golden retriever puppy friend and Crystal.  She was a very happy pooch.

Rachel ran out to Best Buy in the morning to get an SD card for Evan's new camera.

I had a meeting around lunch.

We walked to get the boys in the afternoon.

Rachel tutored Audrey after we got home.  Evan and I then left to go to baseball practice.  Evan had a good practice.  Actually it was a good practice all around.  The Bucs defense was playing at a very high level today.  If we can get the bats going, we'll be good for this weekend's tournament.

When Evan and I got home, Rachel left to go to more tutoring.

The boys are in bed now and Rachel is on her way home.

Until next time...

Tennis

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

On the walk to school this morning, Lizzy got to see her golden retriever puppy friend and her black lab friend,  Crystal.  She and Crystal really get along.  As Lizzy saw Crystal walking towards us, she got so excited.

We had a cleaning service come.  They were supposed to come in the afternoon, but they actually came early.  It was a pleasant surprise.  They do a very good job.

I had back-to-back meetings in the afternoon so I couldn't go to pick the boys up.  Rachel went by herself.

Rachel took Noah and Evan to Noah's tennis class.  After that she stopped and took some pictures of the boys in the blue bonnets.  Then she dropped the boys off at a nearby coffee shop where I was and then went to tutoring.  I took them home.

We had leftover chicken for dinner.

The boys are about to go up to bed.

Until next time...

New Start

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Noah went back to school today, thus starting a new streak.  When I woke him up, he seemed to be in a good mood and we didn't have any problems getting him to school.  It was cold again, so we drove but Evan rode his bike.

Rachel had a meeting with a client in the morning and I went into Aaron's for a bit.

It warmed up into the low 70s in the afternoon so we walked with Lizzy to pick Evan up.  Noah had Mad Science.  I waited with Lizzy at the top of the hill.  The family that has a 5- or 6-year old black lab named Crystal came with Crystal while I was waiting.  Lizzy and Crystal really like each other.  It was really cute.  After the initial butt smelling, the dogs laid down in the sun right next to each other waiting for their kids.  It looked like both dogs were smiling.

Rachel picked Noah up from Mad Science.  Noah seemed to have a good time at this week's Mad Science.

After getting home, Rachel left to tutor.  Unfortunately, it seems the family forgot about tutoring because they were not there when Rachel got there.  So Rachel stopped at Walgreen's on the way home and got leftover Valentine's candy.

For dinner we had some leftovers but the boys ate salmon.

The boys are about to go upstairs to bed.

Until next time...
