Saturday and Sunday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Again I was delinquent in writing the blog.  Again, I was doing work last night until late.

Yesterday, when the boys got up, they woke Grandmom up so they could get her iPad and iPhone.  I could hear Evan yelling and cheering with excitement as he played with the games on the phone.

I went over with the father of one of Evan's friends to sign him up for tee ball.  We were trying to get the two boys on the same team for this year.  Additionally, there is a third boy from Evan's class who wants to play with Evan.  As I was in line to sign up, one of the people who was helping to get the boys registered was the father of Evan's friend Benjamin from preschool.  I talked to him about having Evan play with him.  It sounds like Evan will probably have lots of friends on his team.  It's exciting.

For lunch, we went to Which Wich.  The boys ate well there. Evan finished his whole jelly sandwich.

Then we went to the shoe store, 1379.  Evan and Noah each got new sneakers and Evan got new cleats for baseball, as well as a new bat.

Later in the afternoon, Matt, Rachael and Max came down.  Max is very cute and was having a good time playing with the toys here.  We went with them to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen.

This morning, we decided to take Evan and Noah to the park to get them away from the iPhone and iPad.  Evan was doing very well with the monkey bars.

We had brunch at Jim's Restaurant.

We stayed at home in the afternoon.

For dinner, we decided to meet Rachel at Fresh Choice.  She was coming home from Dallas and that's in North Austin.  We figured we could eat dinner earlier.  Unfortunately, Fresh Choice went out of business so we ended up at Manny's Uptown Kitchen.  The boys ate well there.  Rachel brought Noah home and he fell asleep in the car.

Both boys are sleeping now.

Until next time...

Visiting the Hospital

This morning I went for a run.

When I got back Morry took the boys to the park for a little bit.

Once they got back we all went to the hospital to visit Jimmy, who had hernia surgery. Aunt Doris was there too and we took her out to lunch. We ate at Manny's Uptown Kitchen. We had a nice time and the boys were well behaved. We spend a little more time in the hospital room when we got back.

Then, we went home and tried to get Noah to nap.

For dinner we had leftovers. I had my leftovers from Buca Di Beppo. Morry had pizza. The boys had shrimp.

After dinner we did more cleaning up.

It seems quiet upstairs. I think the boys are asleep.

Up North

I spend a lot of time in north Austin today.

I met Melissa for yogurt around noon and then around 1 I went to a baby shower for Lisa. Barry and Lisa have a new baby, Justine. They had a shower there today.

While I was gone Morry took the boys to the park and then to HEB for Icees.

I got home in the middle of the afternoon. The boys were playing outside.

For dinner we went up north to Manny's Uptown Kitchen for some deli food. Evan ate really well. He finished all of this pancakes and had some pickles. Noah ate some of his hotdog.

When we got home Noah was being very bad. He wouldn't get his shoes and socks out of the car and then threw a fit when we made him go right to bed. He's still having a tantrum now.

Grandmom Arrives

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Well, in case anyone was wondering, we did not have a white Christmas here in Austin. I think Evan was hoping for one. The boys got up around 8am this morning and played in the game room as usual.

We got up and got the boys dressed and ready to drive to the airport to pick up Grandmom. She is coming to visit for a few days. The boys were excited.

We picked her up and drove to Manny's Uptown Kitchen. It's a Jewish deli that was opened today. It was fairly crowded, although we were seated immediately. The food is good but the service was questionable. The boys enjoyed playing with Grandmom's iPad and iPhone.

When we got home, Grandmom and Noah laid down to take a nap although Noah did not nap.

Evan watched Return of the Jedi and the first Star Wars today. Spike TV was running a Star Wars marathon. In fact, Evan was so into it, he got really upset when we went to leave for dinner.

For dinner, we went out to Cannoli Joe's for dinner. It's an all-you-can-eat Italian Buffet. It's pretty good as far as buffets go. Evan ate a ton of pizza. Noah had pizza and ham and fruit. For dessert, Evan had sherbet and Noah had strawberry ice cream.

We're home now and are about to put the boys to bed.

Until next time...

Superheroes

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we got up this morning, we arranged to go to Matt and Rachael's house and the on to lunch. We had to get the kids all ready and get everything set up before we left. Also, Rachel got some of the old baby toys together to bring to them since they are having their little boy on Sept 22.

We got to their house around 11:40am and Evan and Ben played Star Wars and superheroes together for a while. Noah stayed down with the adults and played on Grandmom's iPhone.

For lunch, we went to Manny's Uptown Kitchen. It used to be called Manny Hattan's but I guess they are trying to reinvent themselves. It's basically a Jewish deli. The food was actually very good. Much better than I had remembered. However the service was incredibly slow. All the kids were well behaved.

We came home and Noah went down for a nap while Evan watched Scooby-Doo.

When Noah got up, we drove over to Target. Grandmom had said she was going to buy a toy for each of the boys. Also, she was going to get Halloween costumes. Evan has really wanted this Ironman helmet that talks. He and Noah both got one. Then we got Halloween costumes. Evan got Spiderman while Noah got Batman.

For dinner we went to Carino's. It also was slow, but the food was good.

We came home and the boys tried on their costumes and put on their Ironman helmets. They are in bed now.

Until next time...
