Wellness Check Ups

This morning I had to be at school for my early class, so just Morry and Chewie walked Noah to school.

The boys had wellness checkups at 10am.  Morry picked the boys up from school and I met them at the doctor's office.

The boys are both growing well and everything looks good.  Noah is 4ft 6inches tall and Evan is 5ft 1in tall.  Evan got one vaccine and Noah got 3.

I took Evan back to school and Morry took Noah back.  After dropping off Evan I went back to my school for a staff meeting.

After school Noah went to Grandma and Papa's house.

I tutored this afternoon.

Morry took Evan to baseball practice, but it started raining and they ended practice early.  They stopped at got Tucci's on the way home.

Checkup

This morning I had a checkup appointment at Texas Oncology.  On my way, I met Deborah at a food trailer because she wanted me to try their bulletproof coffee.  She ended up coming with me to Texas Oncology.

Everything looks good so far from my checkup.  I'm still waiting on some blood work.

After dropping Deborah off at her car I ran a few errands and then came home.

In the afternoon Evan and I went to a neighbor's house that was selling some DVDs.

We also took Lizzy to meet/check out the petsitter's house.

Tonight we had a baseball party with the familys from Evan's team.  Jerry called each boy up individually and said nice things about each one.   We had pizza and cake and hung out for a while.

The boys are in bed now and asleep.

Noah's Checkup

This morning we walked the kids to school.

I picked up Noah at 10am and we went to his ENT checkup appointment.  We had to wait about an hour and saw the doctor for less than 5 minutes.  Everything looked good in terms of his tonsillectomy recovery.  He does not need to go back.

Noah was back at school a little after 12pm.

Morry and I walked to pick up the kids.

Before dinner we went to HEB to pick up a few things.  Noah needs a small plant tomorrow for some class project.

We had leftover food from the party for dinner.  While we were getting dinner ready and eating we watched Wheel of Fortune.  One of our friends (the woman who bought our old house) was on today.  She didn't win, but it was still fun to watch.

Morry is on a phone meeting now.   Soon the boys will get ready for bed.

No Tutoring

This morning we walked to school.

I had a dermatologist checkup appointment.

We walked to pick up the kids from school and walked home with Jack and John.

I did not have tutoring today since most of the kids already had their finals.

Evan and Noah played outside.

For dinner we had blackened chicken and potatoes.

Soon the boys will get ready for bed.

Morry to Math Pentathlon

This morning we walked the boys to school and then I went for a run.

Later in the morning I had a checkup with my oncologist.  Everything looks good so far.  I'm just waiting on the blood test results.

In the afternoon I left to tutor and Morry went to school.  He helped out with Math Pentathlon after school.

I got home around 5:30 and we started getting dinner ready.  Morry made fried chicken and I made the cornbread.

The boys are in bed now.

Checkup and Tutoring

This morning we walked to school.

Later in the morning I had a checkup with my doctor.  Everything in the exam looked good.  The x-rays were normal.  We are still waiting on the blood test.

Morry walked to get the boys at school.

I tutored this afternoon and then got home around dinner time.

We had steak and fish with couscous for dinner.

The boys are having their dessert now.  Soon, they'll get ready for bed.

The Last Few Days

We have been busy the last few days.  Here's what has been going on.

Thursday:  Morry and I went to MD Anderson for a checkup.  We left around 5:30 in the morning and got back around 5pm.  Everything looks good so far.

Friday: We had lunch at Wholy Bagel.  Wade came over after camp.  For dinner we ate at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin's house.

Saturday:  Evan had baseball games and Noah and I went house hunting with Grandma and Papa.  At night, we went to a going away party at Brian and Angela's (our neighbors).

Sunday:  Today Evan had a baseball game in the morning.  The rest of us including Uncle Marvin went to brunch at Crema.  Grandma and Papa left early afternoon.  Evan's game ended early because of weather.  It started raining really hard.  For dinner we ate at Fujiyama and then got dessert at Marie Calendars.  Morry got apple pie a la mode, the boys got cherry pie, and I got apple cheesecake.  We all really liked our desserts.  I was the only one that had a little leftover. The boys are getting ready for bed now.

New Fitbit

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

My Fitbit has slowly been falling apart.  Last week it actually came apart.  I asked Rachel to superglue the band back together.  Unfortunately, the glue must have run a bit and it went over the button used to check the time.  Then last night, it fell apart once and for all.  So this morning I ordered a new Fitbit.

We drove the kids to school today.  It was slightly warmer though still in the high 30's.

Later in the morning I went to one meeting, then to Best Buy to pick up the Fitbit and then to Aaron's.

Meanwhile, Rachel went for a check up with the doctor.  All of the tests last week came back negative.

In the afternoon it seemed much colder.  We drove to pick the boys up from school because Rachel needed to get home quickly to get to tutoring.

The boys and I watched a couple Simpsons episodes later in the afternoon while waiting for Rachel to get home.

For dinner, we had steak and tilapia.  The boys both ate steak.  Rachel had the tilapia.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Class Prez

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night there was no blog because our internet was down.  This time it wasn't because of our router.  The entire city of Austin was down because of a cut fiber line.  The line was cut somewhere around 4:30am on Tuesday and they did not restore service until late yesterday evening.

This morning was a normal morning, other than the fact we drove to school.  The mornings have been too cold to walk this week.

I worked from home all day.

In the morning, Rachel had some of her checkup tests done.  It was close by so it was much more convenient.

In the afternoon, it was still fairly cool, but we walked to get the boys.  Evan was late coming out of school.  The teacher and the kids he comes out with came out but there was no Evan.  Finally Evan came out.  Evan told us he ran for class president (within his class not the whole 3rd grade) and he won today.  Apparently there was a primary and then a final vote and he won both.  He said he made a speech (about him being awesome and a hero) but he was quiet and only his table heard it.  So he had to stay a bit late for a meeting with the teacher to prepare for his duties.  He has to read something every morning to the class and some other duties associated with being a president.  Evan is typically very quiet in class so I'm shocked he'd want to run.

When we came home, the boys were in good moods and they played well.

Rachel left to tutor in the late afternoon.  She stopped by HEB on the way home.

For dinner, I grilled shrimp and steak.  Evan had just the steak, but Noah had the shrimp and steak.

The boys are about to get into bed now.

Until next time...

Noah is Mr. Baseball

This morning we walked with Lizzy to school.

I went to my regular doctor for a checkup so that I could get a refill on my thyroid medicine.

Morry and I ate lunch at Wholy Bagel.

We walked to get the boys at school. Evan's friend Wade came home with us after school.

Morry and Noah went to baseball practice this afternoon.  Morry said Noah did very well.  He listed well and did a great job throwing the ball.

Morry and Noah picked up Torchy's Tacos for us on the way home.

The boys are supposed to be getting ready for bed now.
