Christmas Lights

 Today, it was drizzling in the morning, but then cleared up a little bit, so I went for a run.  Halfway, it started pouring down rain.  Of course, when I got home the rain stopped.

Reid's family picked up Evan around lunchtime.  They picked up lunch and then went to the baseball card store.  Evan has been hanging out with Reid all day and will spend the night at his house tonight.

For dinner we had leftover steak.

Then, Morry, Noah, Chewie, and I drove around looking at Christmas lights.

We dropped Chewie off and then went to H-E-B.

We just got home a little after 10pm.

Lights at Mozart's

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was misting this morning so we did not walk to school.  Lizzy seemed upset.  She came in the laundry room as we left.

Around noon, I drove over and got a smoothie from Smoothie King.

By the time we were ready to leave to get the boys from school, it had dried up so we walked and brought Lizzy.  When the boys came up the trail, they saw a cat and stopped and pet the cat for awhile.  During this time, Lizzy got a ton of attention from kids.  At one point, I think four different kids were petting Lizzy at the same time.  She seemed very happy.

We left around 5:15 to go to Mozart's for the Christmas lights.  They put on a light show every hour on the hour.  We met Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan there.  This time Noah spent a lot of time with Jeremy.  Jeremy led Noah around the outside deck where they do the light show after it was over.

On the way home, we picked up Yaghi's for dinner.

Evan is doing some homework and Noah is reading with Rachel.

Until next time...

Johnson City

This morning I took the boys to the park for a little bit to play some football.  At noon Morry and the boys watched the Steelers game. 

When it was over we met at Will and Bradford's house and all drove to Johnson City to see the Christmas lights there.  We at dinner in the square and went on a hayride.  It was a nice night.  Everyone enjoyed it.

Here are some pictures from today.

The Sickness Continues…

We just took it easy today. We did a little more cleaning and ate lunch and then put the boys down for a nap.

My parents, Lynn and Lenny, got here around 3:00. At that point Noah was asleep but Evan was still awake. We heard Evan though his monitor say, “I want Grandma.” He must have heard them come in. My mom went up there to get him. It took them a while to come back downstairs. He was showing her all of his toys. We noticed Evan had a little red mark on his chin. We weren’t sure whether he hurt himself or if it was a rash.

We played outside in the backyard for a little bit and then got ready for dinner.

There weren’t many places open for dinner so we went to Veranda. We hadn’t been there before. It was just ok. Evan was really cranky at dinner. He hardly ate and complained a lot.

On the way home we looked at Christmas lights in the neighborhood. One house near us goes all out. There wasn’t a single part of their yard without lights. They even open up the backyard for people to walk through and see more lights and moving/dancing figures. They had all kinds of random things decorated with lights.

When we got home Evan was really acting like he didn’t feel well. We took his temperature and it was 102.2 and we noticed another rash under his mouth. We called the doctor and have an appointment for him in the morning.
