Tennis

Today Noah was supposed to go to school, but we let him stay home with us. We knew he would rather spend time with all of us than go to school. We gave him a choice and he chose to stay home.

Jack rang the doorbell and asked Evan to come play. The kids rode their bikes in the cul-de-sac and then Evan went swimming at Jack's house for a little bit.

I went for a run and then we picked up Evan on our way to lunch.

For lunch we went to Satellite and ate outside.

Morry took Marilyn to the airport and then met us at Evan's tennis lesson.

There were 2 other kids in Evan's class. Evan seemed to enjoy it. Here is some video from his lesson.

For dinner we had leftovers.

Now, we'll put the boys to bed.

Book Fair

This morning at the school they had a special dads event. They are starting this new group for dads and their kids. Morry got roped into going. Evan heard about the donuts and insisted on going. The event was right before school started. They asked the kids questions to see how much they knew about their dad.

I met Evan during his lunch. I brought Icees for both us. There were a few other parents there as well.

For my lunch, I met the Mom's club at Satellite for lunch.

From there, I picked up Noah and we went to Target. Then, we got Evan at school.

The book fair is going on now at Evan's school. Yesterday, during school Evan made a list of the books he wanted to get. I told him we would go after school today. I let Evan and Noah each pick out a book. Noah choose a 3D Star Wars book and Evan chose a Lego book. They both got a little eraser too.

Gabby came over at 4pm and I tutored.

When I got home we ate dinner. Morry and I had leftover pizza.

We just gave the boys baths and got them ready for bed. Morry is reading to them now.

Haircuts, Date Lunch, and Salt Lick

This morning I went running with the other moms. We ran about 5 ½ miles.

When I got back home we took the boys to get hair cuts at Great Clips. Then, we came home and around 12 Gabby came over. We asked her to come around lunch time so Morry and I could have a nice, quiet lunch together.

Morry and I went to Satellite Bistro and then went to a tea shop downtown.

When we got home we put Noah down for a nap and he actually slept.

Around 4:30 Robbie and Melissa came over. Robbie is town to take a board exam. We hung out here for a little bit and then we all went to dinner at Salt Lick. Since we got there early we didn’t have to wait for a table. Evan and Noah did pretty well. The food was good.

When we got home we gave the boys baths and put them bed.

Day 1- The first entry

Trying out this whole blogging thing. I thought this would be a good way keep everyone updated on what is going on in our lives.

Today we went to the Wildflower Center in the morning with Zayde/Jack/Morry's dad. Evan had a good time showing Zayde around.

We also went to lunch at Satellite Cafe near our house. Evan ate really well. He ate all of my fruit, some of my beans, the 3 dinosaur chicken nuggets we brought from home. Evan sat next to me in the booth and he kept leaning over and hugging me and saying "I love Mommy." Very sweet.

We felt Noah's first tooth today. He's doing well and eating a ton. He ate 3 spoons of cereal mixed with applesauce and juice this morning as well as half a container of baby fruit. And this evening he also ate 3 spoons of cereal. He's still having about 5 bottles a day with around 6-8oz of formula in each. Noah will have his 6 month doctor's appointment on Sept. 30. We'll get to find out then how he's doing in regards to his weight and height.

Yesterday we went to Wonder World in San Marcos. Not really knowing much about it besides what we read online http://www.wonderworldpark.com we thought it looked fun. We drove out there and they really pushed getting the whole package (cave, observation tower, magnetic house, animal train ride) so we did. The first part was the cave. We walked through the gift shop into the top of cave entrance. We stood there while the tour guide started going over the rules and all. Then Evan started saying "No, no, ..". He wanted to go back in the gift shop. I had to carry him back to the group. As we started descending into the cave Evan was starting to whine and I knew it was not going to be a fun tour with me having to carry him the whole time. I suggested to go back up. As we were going back up Evan said, "It'll probably be scary." We ended up getting our money back for the whole thing and going home.

So, my goal is to update this daily. We'll see how that goes.

Please feel free to leave comments and any suggestions on what you want us to include in this blog.

Here are some pictures from today at the Wildflower Center.
