Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel left the house to teach this morning and is just getting back now. In between, she went to South By Southwest EDU conference, then to tutor, then to some event where an app was debuting.
Meanwhile, I left the house around 10am. I went to Touch To, to HomeAway, back home, walked to get Noah, met Cooper's parents and got Cooper at Wendy's, up to practice (which is across from HomeAway), over to TopGolf for a HomeAway event, picked up Chick-fil-A for the boys, back to practice, drove back and dropped Cooper off and then drove home. From there, I walked with Chewie to Grandma and Papa's to pick up Noah. It feels good to be sitting down and relaxing.
Noah had a good day at school and he had a good time at Grandma and Papa's. He ate a ton. He had flank steak, a baked potato, popcorn, pomegranate, and a self-made cookie-wich.
Evan had a good time with Cooper in the car to and from practice. On the way home, they were being so silly that they both started laughing to the point of having a hard time breathing.
The boys are now relaxed and getting ready for bed.
Until next time...

Queen in Dallas
We just got back from Dallas.
For the kids' birthday presents we got them Queen concert tickets. They love Queen and were very excited.
We drove to Dallas on Thursday. Thursday night we went to Fish City Grill and then Bahama Bucks. We also drove by Grandma and Papa's old house.
On Friday, we went to a park, then to lunch at Ali Baba. After that, we went to the Dallas Arboretum.
We took it easy at the hotel in the afternoon. The kids swam in the pool.
The Queen & Adam Lambert concert was supposed to start at 8pm. We got there around 7:15. For some reason, it didn't start until about 8:45. Our seats were pretty high up, but we were in the first row of our section and could see well. It was a really good concert.
On the way back to the hotel we picked up Wendy's for dinner.
Today, we had brunch at Deli News and then drove back to Austin.
Tonight we got dinner at Fire Bowl.
Now the kids are playing video games.

Lizzy at the San Antonio Vet
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning Lizzy had an vet appointment with a vet in San Antonio. Her normal vet said that her parathyroid was enlarged and she needed to see a specialist. Deborah recommended a guy in San Antonio. So we made an appointment for this morning. Rachel and Evan left with Lizzy before 8am. Noah stayed home with me.
The vet said that at least one of Lizzy's four parathyroid glands was enlarged and not working properly. The ultrasound was not able to accurately show a second parathyroid so when the doctor gets in there to remove the first, he may have to remove a second. He said he believes that Lizzy has had this problem for two years based on some of the numbers that our vet sent over. Taking care of this now should allow Lizzy to start feeling better and live longer. Her surgery is scheduled for August 12 and she'll have to stay there for a couple days.
At home, Noah and I ran some errands at lunch. I picked up Wendy's for me and Subway for him on the way home.
I had a meeting at 3:30, so I left the house right before Rachel and Evan got home. Then Rachel had to leave quickly after to take Lizzy to the regular vet to get a booster to a vaccine she got in June. She dropped Evan off with Darius because they were invited to a birthday party. Darius' mom drove them.
The party that Evan went to was at a place called Stunt Ranch. They teach movie stunts there. The boys did an obstacle course, went on a zip line and performed a stunt. They had to run away from a car that "exploded" as they were running away. Evan had a really good time. Darius' mom dropped him at home afterwards.
The boys are getting ready for bed.

Practice
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning the boys set their alarms again. Noah was a bit cranky but all-in-all it was a fairly easy morning. We drove to school as it was only 48 degrees.
In the afternoon, we walked to get the boys. By that time it got warm. It appears the ice cream truck is no more. Some fuddy duddy (I have other choice terms for the person) decided to complain that the ice cream truck did not have the proper permits to be stopped where they were and selling food and called the city. Seriously, do people not have anything better to do with their time than ruin some stuff for kids? So we just brought the normal popsicles today.
Noah had practice today. We worked on some drills. Then I ran two exercises where the winner got a prize. They had to field the ball and throw and hit a bucket. They got one point for fielding the ball, one point for hitting the bucket if the ball hit the ground first and 3 points for hitting the bucket in the air. Then we had the boys race to first base. I want to teach them that they will run faster running through the bag. This is one of the biggest issues I see when kids move up from tee ball to coach pitch. They still just want to run and stop on first base. It's amazing how many times a kid will be out because they slowed down too soon. It makes a huge difference. Especially since at this point the bases are fairly close together so it doesn't give the fielder as much time to make the out. But if the kid slows down, they are giving the advantage back to the fielder.
We stopped at Wendy's on the way home.
The boys are in bed and asleep now.

Busy Day Ending With Baseball
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was a tough morning. Noah was overtired and gave us some issues.
It rained this morning so it was a bit miserable. I had to run out for a bit and traffic was very tough.
Rachel got her hair cut today so I picked the boys up by myself. The ice cream truck was there so the boys got popsicles on the way home.
They did their homework when they got home and then we left for Evan's game. We had dinner at Wendy's on the way out. Rachel had to tutor.
Unfortunately, Evan's team lost. They played well to start the game but ended up struggling at the end. Evan, who has been really hitting the ball well, didn't hit the ball well his first two times up. He grounded out to second base to start the game. He did play well in the field, fielding two balls at shortstop and stepping on second. He also made a nice back handed catch on a short hop on a throw from right field. He quickly turned around and tagged the boy trying to stretch a single into a double. In his third time at bat he finally hit one hard. It hung in the air just a bit long and it actually got caught in deep center. Evan was very upset by that, but really there's not much you can do. The boy (one of Evan's friends) made a very nice catch. Evan has been upset about the game since we got home.
Noah is asleep but Evan is still up.

Night Four of Sports
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was very cold again - around 30 degrees - so we drove to school. We saw Evan's teacher from last year named Ms. Wenske. She was very excited to see Evan. We really hope that Noah gets her next year.
I had a busy day of work.
In the afternoon, we picked up the boys. We walked as the temperature had risen to close to 60 degrees. It was very sunny, albeit a bit windy. The boys were in good moods.
In the late afternoon, Evan had practice for the Nationals. It was our fourth consecutive evening with some sporting activity. Noah had practice on Monday, Evan had a scrimmage for the Marauders on Tuesday, Evan had basketball yesterday and today was Nationals practice. Tomorrow is practice for Noah. Saturday, Evan has both basketball and baseball. Sunday Evan has Marauders and Nationals baseball. Then everything will start calming down.
Evan had another good baseball practice. He really likes all the kids on his team and I think that translates into playing well. He was excited for practice and he was playing well. He and Darius stuck together the whole practice. Darius and Evan play basketball together too. In fact, Evan and Darius are now playing on their fifth team together so it's good for both of them.
On the way home, we picked up dinner from Wendy's.
The boys are both asleep now.

Buddy Party
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was rather uneventful in taking Evan to school. He slept on the bottom bunk this morning so it was a bit easier to get him up than when he sleeps on the top bunk which he had been doing previously this week.
I had a conference call in the morning. As the call was winding down, Noah came into my office and asked if I could bring him to school. When the call ended, Rachel and I drove Noah to school.
Rachel had her pilates class around lunch and then picked Noah up from school.
Noah decided to stay home with me rather than go with Rachel to get Evan.
When Rachel went to tutor, Gabby came over. Gabby, Evan and Noah went to the end of the cul-de-sac. Evan was riding his bike and Noah was riding his big wheel. There was another boy from the neighborhood, Jackson, who was riding his motorized scooter. Gabby told me at that Evan and Noah did have a collision but both boys were ok. When I came out and said it was time to go home and let Gabby go, Noah said "Daddy, can you push my bike back home so I don't have to do anything?" That's a classic Noah quote.
The boys and I went to dinner at Wendy's. Then I stopped by HEB to pick up my allergy medicine. And finally I got gas.
Last night we found out from the little league that Evan will be playing on the Rockies again this season. Several of the boys he played with last year will be on the team. I think he's really going to enjoy the season. I got his baseball bag ready for practice (which might happen on Saturday) tonight. I'll be traveling starting tomorrow so if he has practices, I'll miss it.
The kids are in bed now.

Day 3: No Rachel (First Baseball Practice)
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This was our last day without Rachel. She returned around 10pm this evening.
The boys were up around 8am and very loud. They were playing loudly and at one point Evan had made Noah upset and was really needling Noah to make the situation worse. I pretended not to hear.
When I got up, I brought the boys downstairs and got them breakfast. Evan wanted green eggs so I made them for him. He ended up sharing some with Noah.
When Grandmom got up, we had to get going. I sold our Longhorns tickets to the game today and had to meet the guy at 11:45. Once I sold the tickets we went to Wendy's for lunch.
We came home and Noah and Grandmom stayed at the house while I took Evan to his first baseball practice of the season. It was night and day from last season. Last season, of the 13 kids, there were only 5 kids who had never played. There were 7 kids at today's practice (5 could not make it) and of those 7 there today, only Evan had played before. The coach really spent time working on the basics which was good. Evan seemed to have a really good time. He was really racing around the bases. He looked much improved. I was third base coach for a bit and Evan asked if I could stay as third base coach. They have practice again on Sunday and Monday. Evan is already looking forward to practice.
After practice, we came home and I showered. Then we went to Toys R Us and got Legos for the boys. Despite Evan throwing a fit, we went to Red Lobster for dinner. Evan loves Red Lobster so I'm not sure why he was throwing a fit. We got him a smoothie and then he was back to a good mood and ate a ton of crab as always.
We came home and I gave the boys a bath. They were pretty grimy. Evan was still awake by the time Rachel came home.

Unpleasant
Today was not very pleasant.
Noah was especially whiny and crying today. It took me about 2 hours to finally eat my breakfast. I kept trying to eat it, but would get interrupted, mostly by Noah.
I planned on taking the boys and Lizzy to the lake. I had everything packed and ready, but it took us a few hours to finally get out of the house. Noah was fighting getting dressed.
Once we were at the lake, the boys were pretty good until the end of the walk. Noah threw a major fit.
At home, during lunch Evan got in trouble and I had to put him in time out. He wore himself out. When I went to check on him he was asleep in bed.
Noah must have worn himself out today too with all his crankiness. He ended up napping too.
For dinner we had cornbread casserole. The boys didn't eat much of their dinner. Noah threw a fit about wanting a hot dog. Almost every time I make him a hot dog, he doesn't end up eating it and then Lizzy gets to it. That's what happened at lunch. When I took my eyes off the plate for a minute to take Evan upstairs for time out Lizzy ate Noah's hot dog. Anyway, somehow Noah convinced Morry to make him a hot dog, but guess what... he didn't eat it.
We had to run out to Red Box to drop off a rented movie. After dropping it off we went to Wendy's to get Frosties. Evan and Noah didn't eat much of theirs.
We just put the boys to bed. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day than today.

Poor Little Noah
Last night was a tough night again. Noah woke up around 4am and wouldn’t go back to sleep. Morry and Grandma/Lynn took turns holding him until the morning. Care now, a walk- in doctor’s office, opened at 9am. We made a web appointment and they were able to see Noah right when it opened. We were concerned because Noah wasn’t taking his medicine or eating or drinking anything. He was extremely fussy. Morry took him in and they gave Noah 2 shots- one antibiotic and one cortisone. The cortisone was to help his throat feel better. The doctor also said his ear was red and we needed to continue the antibiotics at home.
For lunch Papa/Lenny picked up deli sandwiches and soup for us. Then, we packed up the car and drove back to Austin.
The ride home was not fun. Noah was complaining and crying a lot of the way.
For dinner I picked up Little Caesars. Evan ate very well. Noah still wouldn’t eat anything, so after dinner we went to Wendy’s to get Frosty’s. Noah ate most of his Frosty. At least he ate something today.
We tried giving Noah is antibiotic before bed tonight, but he just spit it out. I’m not sure how to get him to take it. He keeps spitting it out. We can’t mix it with food or drink because he’s not eating or drinking anything.
It seems like Noah is asleep now, but Evan is still up.

Tutoring and Wendy’s
This morning Evan was crying for Daddy when he heard the garage door open. I tried to get him to go back to sleep, but was not successful.
For breakfast I cut up fruit and we ate outside in the backyard. Evan and Noah seemed to enjoy that. Noah liked sitting in the big chair by himself.
Later in the morning I took Evan and Noah with me to send back our broken Blue Ray player.
We ate lunch and then Blanca came over. I tutored this afternoon and got home around 5.
When Morry got home, we didn’t feel like making dinner so we went to Wendy’s. Evan and Noah were very well behaved there. Evan ate all of his nuggets. Noah ate mostly fruit. Since Evan had a good dinner we let him get a small kid’s frosty.
We just put the boys to bed, but both are still making noises.

Last Day of School
Evan woke up early again and Morry got him set up in the game room before he left for work.
We were late getting to school this morning. Noah slept until about 9:30. I didn’t want to wake him up. I let him sleep until 9:30 and finally I woke him up so I could get Evan to school.
Riley came over from 10-12. Noah cried for about the first 30 minutes, but then he eventually calmed down. I did a lot of cleaning while Riley was here. It had been a while since the house was really cleaned. I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed and mopped the whole house, dusted, … I did that all in about the 2 hours Riley was here. I was really exhausted by the time she left. Right after Riley left, Noah and I went to Evan’s school. It was Evan’s last day of school (until September), so they had a little pizza party. Noah had a great time with all the big kids. He even sat at the table with them for lunch. After lunch the kids had cupcakes and cookies. Both Evan and Noah loved the cookies. Who knows how many Evan ate.
When we got home I put Evan and Noah down for naps. Noah fell asleep pretty much right away. It started raining (finally) pretty hard and we had some thunder and lightening. Evan got scared and didn’t want to take a nap, so I let him watch TV for a little bit. Then, I tried again to put him down for a nap, but he refused. I was really tired and needed a nap so, I let him watch tv in the game room while I tried to lie down. A few minutes later Evan was in our room because he heard thunder. I asked if he wanted to come in bed, but he said no. He ended up falling asleep on the floor in our room. As soon as Evan fell asleep Noah woke up.
I brought Noah downstairs and tried to fold laundry. It took me about 4 times as long as usual because Noah kept grabbing clothes I had already folded.
Evan got up and while Evan and Noah played I got dinner ready.
Morry came home and we had corned beef and potatoes for dinner.
For dessert we went to Wendy’s for Frosties. We had 2 $1 off coupons and a $5 gift card I had won a while ago, but just got in the mail a few days ago. So, we had free dessert and still have $1something left on the card.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed and it seems to be quiet.

Park and Wii Baseball
This morning Evan was in a bad mood. He only wanted Daddy. Grandma, Papa, and I all tried to get him dressed. I was letting Morry sleep in, and finally I just went in and got Evan dressed whether he liked it or not. At that point he was crying for Daddy because Morry was in the shower. After I got Evan dressed I let him go in our room and see Morry.
Papa made us breakfast this morning and then he and Grandma drove back to Dallas.
We went to the Circle C Park for a little bit. It was hot out, but not too bad in the shade. When we pulled up there were only 2 other cars there. I guess most people wanted to be indoors today. Evan and Noah had fun at the park.
We came home and the boys took really good naps.
While we were getting the pasta ready for dinner, I helped Evan play baseball on the wii. He was really doing well. He was able to watch the screen and hit the baseball in the video game. I was pretty impressed that he had the eye-hand coordination for that. He wasn’t hitting all of them, but I’d say about 30% or so.
We had spaghetti for dinner and then went to Wendy’s for dessert. Morry, Evan, and I got Frosties. Noah ate about half of mine.
We just put the boys to bed. Last night Evan was up really late because people were shooting off fireworks in our neighborhood and he was scared. We just heard more fireworks going off. I went outside, but couldn’t tell who was doing it. It wasn’t anyone on our street. I hope it ends soon and I hope it doesn’t bother Evan again.

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.
Until next time...
