This morning Morry had to work from 9-12:00. Evan got up early and Morry took care of him until he had to leave.
I just stayed in the house with the boys while Morry was at work. Evan is feeling a lot better today. He didn’t have a fever during the day, but still didn’t eat much. He mostly just had drinks and a smoothie today.
I helped Evan put on a temporary tattoo. He picked out a Buzz Lightyear one and showed me where on his arm he wanted me to put it. We walked outside to get the paper. Evan likes going to pick up the newspaper every Sunday because he knows the Garfield comic strip is in there. We laid out the paper on the table and Evan asked me to read Garfield to him.
Noah got cranky around 11:00 so I put him down for a nap and he slept until Morry got home. We woke him up to have lunch.
Evan and Noah would not nap today. At least I got to nap though. Morry watched the boys so I could get some sleep.
We had pasta and soup for dinner.
We gave the boys a bath and put them down to bed early tonight. It sounds quiet in Evan’s room. He asked for the banana song (Day-o), so I hear Raffi playing. Noah’s still making some noise.

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...

80 Degrees
Today the weather was beautiful. It got into the 80s today.
We went over to Yenis and Kevin’s house around 11:30am. They just built a house. They have brand new carpet upstairs, so they ask you to take your shoes off before walking on the carpet. Kevin has a very nice gameroom upstairs. Evan remembered this and as soon as we walked in Evan sat down by the stairs, took off his shoes, and asked to go upstairs. Evan, Kevin, and Noah played upstairs for a little while. Then, we all came downstairs and went in the backyard. We ate lunch and played outside. Yenis made lasagna. I didn’t think Evan would want any. He usually doesn’t like pasta with sauce. Evan asked for lasagna and then asked me if it was the same as the lasagna that Garfield eats. He ended up eating a little bit of it. I’m glad he tried it.
Evan really liked playing with Kevin’s guitar. Below is a video of Evan playing Jingle Bells. Evan and Kevin also played baseball. They would take turn pitching the ball while the other was at bat. A few times they actually did well and one of the boys was able to hit the ball with the bat.
We came home for nap time. Noah napped, but Evan didn’t.
Blanca came at 3:00. I tutored and got home around 6:00.
Morry made fajitas for dinner. We just finished eating and cleaning up.
We’ll go upstairs soon to get the boys ready for bed.
I’m meeting Alissa tonight at Ruta Maya for some salsa music/dancing.

Post-Football Sunday
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel is talking to her parents so I'm writing the blog tonight.
Today is the first Sunday after the Steelers won the Super Bowl (just typing that phrase is exciting). Or as Rachel says "we now have our lives back". The boys let us sleep in until 9:30 again. When we woke up, Rachel informed me that we were going to go for a run.
We got the boys ready as well as Lizzy and took off for a run. Rachel pushed the stroller while I ran with Lizzy. It was very humid out. I have not run for over a year, while Rachel has had spurts of running in the past year. Rachel was able to run a good distance while I had to stop and walk after a while.
When we got back from running, we decided to run over to the Home Depot. We needed things like a filter for our refrigerator and weather stripping for the back door where Lizzy tore it. A few months ago, Lizzy chewed a piece of a wood train of Evan's. I wanted to just sand it down for Evan before he could play with it again. I told Evan back then that I'd do it when we went to Home Depot to get sand paper. As Rachel and I put a list together of what we needed, Evan reminded me that we need to fix his train. That kid's memory is amazing. It's actually better than mine, which is scary.
We got to the Home Depot and Evan told me he wanted to walk around. First we picked out night light bulbs which Evan carried the whole time. Evan really enjoyed walking and being free. We looked at washers and dryers a bit and Evan wanted me to open up one for him. When we got the weather stripping, Evan wanted me to carry it. I got to 8 foot strips. So Evan held the back end of the strips while I held the front end. We walked through the store like this. The checkout lady said "looks like you've got a little helper."
For lunch, Rachel made and omelet for her while I made fried matzoh. Noah shared some of the omelet with Rachel while Evan shared the fried matzoh with me.
After the boys naps, Rachel tutored. Evan wanted us to watch Garfield for the 200th time. Noah was a bit cranky that whole time. I'm not sure what his deal was. Rachel got home around 7pm and we had dinner then. Rachel had gotten chicken and wild rice soup together and I made chicken tenders. I fed Noah before Rachel got home but then he sat with us and ate finger food during dinner. He seemed upset the whole time.
The boys are now in bed. Evan seems to be quiet while Noah has been making noise. I had to go up there in the middle of writing this because Noah was crying. He had knocked all 4 of his pacifiers on the floor and was upset.
I don't know why I'm actually typing this out, but if Evan doesn't get out of bed tonight, he will have stayed in bed every night for a week. Amazing.
Until next time...
