Last Monday of Elementary School

Today, we walked Noah to school and talked about how it's the last Monday walking to the elementary school.

I took it easy today since I had a big weekend.  I went to San Antonio for a travel bloggers event.

We walked to get Noah from school today.  It was very hot and humid.

I tutored one student this afternoon.

Evan went to Grandma and Papa's for dinner.

For our dinner, we made tacos at home.

After dinner, we walked with Chewie to Grandma and Papa's house.  The kids played Frisbee in the backyard for a while.  Chewie had fun running around with them.

Now, the boys are playing video games and will get ready for bed soon.

Evan's Birthday + The Last Few Days

This week we were all busy with our different obligations.

I worked teaching, tutoring, and with blog/influencer stuff.  I was on a local news show on Wednesday (see the video here) and had a food blogger event on Thursday.

Morry started his new job as CTO of a startup called Answers Now.

Evan and Noah had sports practices.

Today was Evan's birthday.  He's 13 now!

This afternoon Noah had football practice.  We picked him up a little bit early in order to get downtown to pick up our race packets for the Cap10k on Sunday.

Then, to celebrate Evan's birthday we went to Big Top Candy Shop and then Tarbouch for dinner.  Grandma and Papa met us for dinner.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Everyone's Busy

This morning we walked Noah to school.

I went to school and Morry had got a haircut and then had a meeting.

Shortly after we each got home we walked to pick up Noah. 

Noah went to Grandma's right after school.

Around 5:15 I pickup up Lorena and she came with me to a blogger's event.  It was a hotel/shopping event. We got food and drinks at Sonesta in Bee Cave.  Then, they gave us the hotel tour.  After that, we got on their trolley and we toured a few different shops at the Hill Country Gallery.  At each shop, they had some kind of gift or swag for us.  It was a very nice event.

Evan and Morry went to baseball practice and then ate dinner at Mod Pizza.

We got home around 8:30.  Then, Morry walked with Chewie to pick up Noah.

Now the kids are in bed.

Menu Tasting

This morning we walked with Chewie to school.

Shortly after we got home I left for school.

I met Morry for bagels and then had my physical therapy appointment.

I was invited to a menu tasting tonight at PDQ.  I thought I wouldn't be able to go because of tutoring, but both of my tutorings got canceled today.

So after the kids got home,  Morry and I went to PDQ for the menu tasting.

It was fun and the food was good.  I'd go back there.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed.

Noah to Grandma's

This morning we walked Noah to school.

I was at my school from about 9:45-2:00.

Morry had a haircut today.

When I got home we walked to pick up Noah from school.  From there, he went over to Grandma and Papa's house.  It was just Grandma tonight since Papa is out of town.

Morry and I went to an event I was invited to in the Domain.  A fancy candy shop is partnering with a Vodka company to sell Vodka candies.   It was a nice event. 

We walked to pick up Noah from Grandma and Papa's house.

When we got home we ate our dinner.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Yet another long day

This morning we walked to school.  Then, Morry and I went to Camp Gladiator.

After Camp Gladiator, I tutored.

Then, I went to a grand opening of a blow dry salon (Drybar) that I was invited to as a blogger.  I got my hair done and met the owner of the business.  This is the 75th location she has opened.

Then, I had to stop at Sprinkles (the cupcake place) since it was on the walk back to the car.  I bought a few cupcakes to bring home for us to try.

There was a lot of traffic and it took a while to get home.

Morry had a dentist appointment and got home a little bit before I did.

Then, we walked to pick up the kids from school.

We were home for about an hour and then we went to the Toyota dealership to look at some cars.

We ate at Freebirds for dinner.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed.

Back to it

This morning we walked to school.  Morry and I went to Camp Gladiator.

After lunch I met mom/Lynn/Grandma at Starbucks.

Morry and I walked to pick up the kids from school.

My tutoring was canceled today.

Morry took the boys to Evan's baseball lesson.  Then, they got haircuts and dinner at Chicken Express.

I had a blogger event downtown tonight.

I got home a little after 8pm.

The boys are in bed now.

What's My Wine

This morning we walked to school without Lizzy.  Poor Lizzy.

I took my car in for an oil change.   Morry picked me up and we went to bagels.  As we were finishing eating I go the call that the car was ready.

We walked to pick up the kids from school.

Around 4pm Morry took the boys to the school to meet their friends.

Then, a little before 5pm he picked them up and brought them over to Grandma and Papa's house.  They were going to have dinner together and then go to services.

Morry and I went to the What's My Wine VIP Launch.  There's an app that helps you figure out what wine to buy.  They were having a launch party and invited me.  Morry and I thought it would be  chance to learn more about wine and figure out what we liked.

It was pretty crowded.  We only got through one of the stations that had 7 different wines to try.  They were okay.  We chatted with a few people there.  I spent a lot of time talking to another Instagrammer who had interest in perhaps getting an app made.

We left the party around 7:15pm.

From there, we picked up food for dinner at Madam Mam's.

Evan's friend, Reid, from baseball, met us there and we took him back to our house to spend the night.

We got home and a little while later Grandma and Papa dropped the boys off.

Now everyone is ready for bed.  Evan and Reid are set up in the game room in sleeping bags.

Here are some pictures from tonight.

Dentist

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The sun came out this morning for the first time in more than a week.  It was still cold on the walk to school, but it was nice having some sun.

We stayed home in the earlier morning, but I went to the dentist for a normal cleaning around lunchtime.

Rachel met a friend for brunch and then went into HomeAway for yet another set of meetings.

After HomeAway, Rachel went to tutor.

I walked to pick the boys up.  The boys played outside with neighbors in the afternoon.

Rachel went to a bloggers event from tutoring.

I grilled steaks and shrimp for dinner.  We watched some of Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation while eating.

Rachel is home now and the boys are in bed.

Until next time...
