Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel had another busy day planned today and I, too, knew I'd be busy so we passed on going to Camp Gladiator.
Rachel left around 9:30 to go tutoring. She got all the way to the parking lot of the school before hearing that they had cancelled.
I left shortly after she got home to get my hair cut. I stopped at Smoothie King and for gas on the way home.
Before I got home, Rachel left to get her hair done. She was there until she needed to leave for tutoring. After tutoring, she met some friends for dinner.
I drove to pick up the boys because it was raining. Also because it was raining, Evan's practice was cancelled. Noah still wanted to have dinner with Grandma and Papa though.
Evan and I went to Texadelphia for dinner.
Later in the evening I picked up Noah.
Rachel just got home and the boys are ready for bed.
Until next time...

Long Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Evan and I left the house at 8:10am. Evan had the last of his catching lessons at 9am. We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way.
Rachel and Noah walked to Starbucks today. Rachel didn't want to run today since she's running the half marathon tomorrow but she wanted to stay loose. Noah had a breakfast sandwich and coffee cake there.
After Evan's catching practice, we stayed up north where the fields were because he had a regular team practice at 1pm. We went to Dick's Sporting Goods and got Evan new shoes. He already outgrew the shoes we got him in October. We also got him new cleats.
From there, we went and got lunch at Texadelphia.
Evan's practice went well. I thought he did well defensively, including at third base. He was talking non-stop on the way home which was a really good sign.
We stopped at home for 5 minutes for Evan to get changed. Then we went to pick Noah up from football practice. Evan tried to make a half court basketball shot while were there. Noah, a boy named Max from Noah's football team and his brother Jake watched Evan do this. They helped catch the ball and get it back to him.
For dinner, Rachel picked up pizza from Pint House Pizza. Papa came over and ate with us. We watched the first episode of the Netflix show Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

The Boys are Back in Town + iFly
Yesterday, I picked up Morry, Evan, Noah, and Jack from the airport. They had a fun trip to Florida for baseball Spring Training.
We ate lunch at Torchy's tacos.
Last night, for dinner we ate at Genghis Grill.
Today we took it easy. We had lunch at Texadelphia. Both boys ate really well.
For Hanukkah, we got the boys gift certificates to iFly (indoor skydiving). We finally got around to making reservations for them to use their gifts. They had 6:00 spots for tonight. We had to get there at 5:15 so they could get a lesson before flying.
First, we picked up Grandma and Papa and then made the drive to North Austin.
Evan and Noah both really enjoyed iFly.
For dinner we all went to Caspian Grill.
Now, the boys are getting ready for bed.
Here are some pictures and video from yesterday and today.

Rain and Sports
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan had two baseball games scheduled today. One at 8am and one at 9:30am. He had at least one football game scheduled at 1pm. If they won at 1 they played at 2 and if they won at 2, they would play at 3. We woke up and it was raining. I checked and all the games were still on. Noah wanted to come with Evan and me.
We left, stopped at the atm, and then stopped at Donut Taco Palace and went out to the fields. The temperature was in the high 50s. There was a constant light drizzle and it was windy. So it was pretty cold. Noah ended up sitting on the bench with the boys to stay warm.
Evan got the start in the first game. It was his first start of the season and only the second time he has ever started a game. He started the game by striking out the side. He looked great. In the bottom of the first he crushed the ball to left. The left fielder dove for it and trapped the ball on the ground. You could actually see the ball roll. The umpire called Evan out. Where is the replay!? Evan got struck out another batter in the 2nd. Then he was screwed by the umpires twice. The first time the umpire told the batter to take first base on a walk on the third ball and not the fourth. I don't know how he got to four balls. We keep track of that stuff and I was keeping track in my head. Then he we got the third out at first and the umpire called the boy safe. Again, it wasn't really a tough call. It didn't seem close to me. A run scored on the play. Ultimately, that was the only run that Evan would allow. In the third inning, he added two more strikeouts including one to end the inning. We scored a ton of runs. Evan had a solid hit and RBI in the third inning. Our big innings took up enough time that the game only went three innings. So Evan pitched a complete game - 3IP, 1 Run, with 6 strikeouts. So of the 9 outs he recorded six of them by strikeout. He looked great.
In the second game, Evan walked and singled again. He also had a great play on a slow roller at third base. The Bucs won that game as well.
We left the fields and went to Texadelphia for lunch.
The football fields were gross. The were covered in water. Anywhere you stepped, even if it looked like there was no water, when you stepped, you'd sink and water would come out of the ground. The team seemed tired and not aggressive. Unfortunately, the team lost that game. It was for the best. It saved them from having to play two more games.
We came home and put on dry clothes. Then we relaxed.
We had a Post-Halloween party to go to at our neighbors. We went there at dinner time. It was very nice. We enjoyed ourselves.
After that, we did a quick shopping trip at HEB. The boys seemed very hyper.
They are getting ready for bed now.

Walkie Talkies
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, everyone slept in. I don't think any one of us got up before 9am which was nice.
When Rachel and I got going, the boys said they wanted to go Target and use the last of the gift certificates they got for their birthdays to buy Walkie Talkies. Then they wanted to go to the Circle C Park to use them. We put Lizzy in the car and drove to Target. Lizzy and Rachel waited while the boys and I went in and got them.
We got to the park and walked on the trail. Lizzy was especially happy to get out there and walk around. When we got to the creek, we let Lizzy off the leash and she went in the water. We threw the ball to her some but she was just content to lay in the shallow water. She was definitely a happy pooch.
After the park, we came home and had lunch.
The boys played upstairs for a while and then I made popcorn and we watched a movie. I put on Grumpy Old Men for the boys. They laughed quite a bit. I remembered how good of a movie that is.
For dinner, we went to Texadelphia. Both boys ate well. Then we came home and took a walk.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Oil Change
My car needed an oil change so this morning we went to get that taken care of. While we were waiting we walked around the shopping center and got lunch at Texadelphia. The boys were good and mostly well behaved.
We took it easy at home this afternoon.
For dinner we had leftover corned beef.

Another Bike Ride
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The boys got up early this morning but they were able to play with Zayde. Evan got breakfast for he and Noah. And then Zayde got a bowl of cereal for Noah a bit later.
When I came downstairs, the boys went outside and played in the backyard for a bit. It was going really well for a while and then the boys started to fight. After a few warnings, I made them come in. Evan, while angry with me, still listened to me. Noah stayed outside and I had to go grab him. He threw a fit for a long time, some of which was spent in his room.
I made pancakes for everyone for brunch.
Zayde, Noah and I sat down to watch the Steelers game. Rachel and Evan went on the tandem bike. They rode for 10 miles. They rode to an area called the Veloway which is a 3 mile paved bike loop. On the way back they stopped and got Evan ice cream.
After the game, the boys went outside some more. Noah came in and Evan was still playing outside. All of a sudden he came in crying. He said he got sand in his eye and his tongue hurt. Rachel and I tried several things, unsuccessfully, to get him to stop crying. We even put him in the shower to try to rinse out his eye. Eventually, while sitting on my lap and putting in Return of the Jedi, he calmed down.
I ran out to Texadelphia and picked up dinner. When I got home the boys were in a good mood.
We just put them to bed. They are still awake.

Outlets
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Saturday is normally my day to write the blog.
The boys let us sleep in a bit this morning. Evan woke up around 9am. Rachel and I both got up and got him dressed.
This morning was the Circle C-wide garage sale where they encourage everyone in the neighborhood who wants to have a sale, to have it today. Unfortunately, it rained all day yesterday and was raining up until about 8:30am. Rachel thought she'd drive around with Evan anyway.
We let Noah sleep and he ended up sleeping until after 10am. Last night, he was up fairly late. I finally had to rock him to sleep around 10:15pm. So I wasn't surprised he slept later than normal.
Rachel and Evan got back very quickly from the garage sale. I guess everyone literally had the stuff in their garage so it was hard to pick through and Evan decided he wanted to come home. Not before he asked Rachel to buy him a donut from some girls that were selling donuts for 50 cents.
We all had some breakfast and drove down to the outlets in San Marcos. We had been there a month or so ago and gotten some stuff from the Gap and decided we didn't want it. We had to go down and return it. While we were there, we stopped in Carters, Children's Place and Adidas. Carters didn't have anything for the boys. They needed jeans. We were able to find jeans for them at Children's Place. We also found dress shirts and sweaters for $1.99 each. I got some stuff at Adidas.
We had lunch at Wendy's where Evan was very good and had his nuggets and then he got a Frosty afterwards.
When we got home, we received some bad news. Everyone assumed that Mottel's weight loss was due to hyperthyroidism. Even the Vet said she would be shocked if it was anything else. He had lost 3 pounds in a year which was 30% of his body weight. He went from 10 pounds to 7. Anyway, the Vet had left a message that the blood test came back and it was not hyperthyroidism. Now, we are not sure what it is. Some blood levels suggest maybe liver problems, some suggest maybe kidney problems, and some suggest perhaps small intestine problems. I have to bring Mottel back in this week for more tests. We just can't believe that Mottel is sick. He's not acting sick in the least. In fact, he's probably more active and more friendly than he's been in awhile. For those of you who don't know, Mottel has been with me for 11 years. He moved down with me from Pittsburgh. Hopefully we can get this figured out and it's nothing too serious.
The boys took naps after we got home. I did some work (I'm very very busy at work now) and Rachel made some calls for Cha Cha.
For dinner we went to Texadelphia and ate outside. It's been a long time since we went there, and we thought it was something different. Plus Rachel found a buy one get one free coupon.
When we got home, we gave the boys baths and now they are in bed. Noah has been crying. He is really into doing what he wants when he wants and he obviously did not want to go to bed.
