Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel got up around 5 this morning and left the house before 5:45. The marathon actually started at 7. Rachel texted me at 8am that she had just passed Mile 5.
Noah and I picked up Grandma and Papa just before 9 and went downtown to meet Rachel at the finish line. At 9:10, I got a text from Rachel that she had just passed Mile 12. Assuming a 10-minute mile pace, I figured we had 10 minutes then to get to the finish line. We all walked really fast. Noah was able to keep up with me. I would say about 4-5 minutes at the most and we saw Rachel cross the finish line.
After the race, we met Deborah for brunch. We tried to go to Chez Zee but that had an hour wait. We ended up going to Russell's Bakery.
Deborah drove Rachel back to her car at the start line while I drove home with Grandma, Papa and Noah.
We weren't home long before Noah and I went and picked up Evan from Josh's.
When Rachel got home, we walked over to Grandma and Papa's and I helped Papa hang the TV above the fireplace. Evan rode his bike over. Then he and Papa rode their bikes to the Veloway. They really had a good time.
At dinner time, we went to HEB to get stuff for the week. We also got the movie Fantastic Four and ordered pizza from Papa John's. We had a family movie night tonight.
The boys are about to go to bed.
Until next time...

Long, Good Day
Evan was up around 7am this morning and Noah got up about 9am.
Evan had his first tball practice this morning at 11:30am. On our way there we stopped at the Coffee Bean, which just opened up near us. I got a coffee and breakfast taco for me and coffee cake for the boys to share.
It was a good baseball practice. Evan had fun. The coaches seemed nice and excited to be there.
After the practice Evan's friend Jack (also on the team) and Jack's dad played catch a little bit. We had to go home to eat lunch but made plans with them to play after lunch.
We came home and ate lunch and then Jack rang the doorbell. We took the kids in the cul-de-sac for a while. Noah started getting cranky and wanted to go home for a nap. I took him back home and Evan stayed out with Jack and his dad for another 15 minutes or so.
At 5:30 we met Melissa for dinner at Chez Zee. The boys were a little cranky at first, but then they were good. They ate their pasta and then played with a Connect 4 game they had in the restaurant.
After dinner I took the boys to Dick's Sporting Goods to get baseball stuff for Evan. We got a new batting helmet, batting gloves, purple socks for his uniform, but we couldn't find a purple belt. The coaches want the kids to have purple belt, but Dick's said they don't sell one. It might be hard to find. We'll see.
On the way home Evan told me he wanted to set his alarm for midnight and have a party. I said we couldn't do that, but if the boys were good they could both sleep in Evan's room. They seemed excited by that. They are in Evan's room now and so far, so good.

Valentine's Day - A Day Early
Hello everyone, this is Morry. Rachel asked me to write the blog today.
Today, we were having someone come to clean the house. We do this a couple times a year to get a good cleaning. Typically it's before someone comes to visit. In this case, Papa/Lenny and Grandma/Lynn were coming in. The cleaning service was supposed to send a lady over at 9am. So last night Rachel and straightened up (yes, we cleaned for the cleaning lady) in preparation. Rachel got up early for this as well. However, at 9am the lady called and said she'd be a few minutes late. at 9:40, the woman still had not shown up. So Rachel called and the woman said she was lost. Well she got lost until nearly 11am. I don't know how, in Austin, you can get lost for almost 2 hours. It's just not that hard a city to get around. Unbelievable.
While the lady was cleaning, Rachel brought the boys over to meet me for lunch. We went to Matt's El Rancho for lunch. Evan was very hyper at lunch. We ordered him a quesadilla and a Shirley Temple. He didn't eat any of the quesadilla, but Noah did. Noah seemed to have a good time at lunch.
After Rachel dropped me off at work, she went to a gas station, got some gas and went through the car wash. Evan really enjoyed the car wash. He talked Noah through it by saying "Look Noah - it's coming over on that side now," and things like that. He likes to be the big brother.
Rachel put the boys down for naps when she got home but Evan was still awake when Papa/Lenny and Grandma/Lynn came. So he came downstairs to see them for a little bit. Then he went back upstairs for a nap.
When I got home, he was still napping. Rachel and I had plans to go out for an early Valentine's Day. So we exchanged gifts. I got Rachel three bags of loose leaf tea as well as a mug with a built in filter and a tea pot with a built-in filter. Rachel got me front row seats to see Bill Cosby live. I can't believe she was able to do that.
We went to the Alamo Drafthouse to see He's Just Not That Into You. I figured it was a good Valentine's movie. Plus Rachel put up with my football season. It wasn't bad as chick flicks go. Then we got dessert at Chez Zee.
Meanwhile, Evan and Noah went with their grandparents to the Waterloo Ice House. Evan ate all of the chicken out of Grandma/Lynn's chicken taco. Also there was a live band playing music (country, unfortunately). Noah was bouncing up and down to the music. Evan was outside playing on the play scape but he'd occasionally stop to dance.
Both boys are in bed now and sleeping.
Until next time...

Evan's half-birthday
Evan is now 2 ½. Today is his half-birthday. Hard to believe.
For brunch we went with Grandma/Lynn/Mom, Papa/Lenny/Dad, and Aunt Susan to Chez Zee. Today is Aunt Susan’s birthday, so we went there to celebrate. The food was good. Morry and I both got Crème Brule French toast. Evan told us he wanted a pancake. He kept insisting so we ordered him a blueberry pancake thinking he would most likely not eat it (just because that is what normally happens when we order something for him at a restaurant). Evan ended up eating very well and ate about ¾ of the pancake. Noah ate well too and ate a whole jar of baby food while sitting in a highchair. At the end of the meal they brought out a cake for Aunt Susan and Evan helped her blow out the candle.
We had a relaxing afternoon. Both Evan and Noah took really good, long naps.
After dinner we spent the evening upstairs as Morry watched the football game. Evan watched a little, but mostly just played with his toys. I tried to play catch with him, but he either wanted to throw the ball really high in the air or hit it with his bat. Noah was moving all over the place. He is still not crawling, but he is able to roll around pretty well and get where he wants. Morry is still watching the Steelers game and both boys are in bed, though Evan is not asleep yet.
Can you tell Morry dressed Noah today?
