Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan has been asking to go to this place called Doc's to watch the Steelers game. They have a playground outside, and they have big screens everywhere showing the games. The Steelers game was not on local television this week and Evan didn't have a baseball game so we decided to go. Noah joined us. Also, Evan's friend Jesse came with us.
Within 3 minutes of being there, Evan and Noah made a friend. He was another Steelers fan who "almost 13". They played football outside until the game started. He'd come over to our table and hang out with us some.
The game itself kind of stunk. So that was disappointing.
Rachel braved HEB while we were at the game. She was still there when we got home.
For dinner, Grandma and Papa came over. We grilled a pork tenderloin. Rachel roasted garlic to put on sourdough bread she got. For dessert, Rachel made a cranberry-apple crisp.
The boys are getting ready for bed.
Until next time...

Everyone's Here
This morning we took it easy. I made cranberry apple crisp.
Morry took Noah to a birthday party at 11:30 and Evan and I stayed home. I finished sewing the couch pillow covers.
Later in the afternoon Grandma and Papa arrived.
Morry ran out to pick up Salt Lick for all of us. Michael, Jen, and Maya got here right before Morry got back home with the food.
The boys and Maya are having a lot of fun together.
Maya's taking a bath now.
Soon, hopefully all of the kids will be going to bed.

Thank You Mike Gordon
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
As Rachel wrote yesterday, we had a party for everyone who helped us in the past year while Rachel was battling and recovering from cancer. It was a great party and it was so nice for so many people to make it to the party. Most people were local, but we had some people come in from Houston and Dallas, and other parts of Texas. But one person made the trek from Pittsburgh - for all over 20 hours - just to help us celebrate - Mike Gordon. It was so nice of him to come in just for the party. We loved having him stay with us and loved seeing him. We look forward to having the entire Gordon clan make it down here some time.
Mike came in, for his first trip to Austin, at 11am yesterday. I gave him a very quick tour of Austin thru downtown, over to campus, to Mt. Bonnell and down Loop 360. We had lunch at Rudy's. Mike also helped us set up for the party and clean up as well. This morning, his flight was at 6:50am. I thought he should try out Kerbey Lane Cafe so we had some breakfast there at around 4:45am. It was a really nice time.
I came home and went back to bed. I slept until around 10:30am. Rachel and Grandma made cranberry-apple crisp. The boys had some breakfast and had some of the crisp.
The Steelers game came on at noon. Grandma, Papa, and Bubbe left during the 2nd quarter, I think. The boys watched more of the game with me.
After the game I did a little work while Evan watched Empire Strikes Back for the second time today (He later watched it a 3rd time). That was a gift from Mike for the boys. Evan fell asleep on the ottoman. Noah had taken a nap upstairs.
For dinner we had leftover pizza from Home Slice. Home Slice catered our event which was nice. After dinner, we had to return some of Home Slice's stuff that they let us borrow so we drove down and returned it.
The boys are now in bed, both of them in Evan's room. Due to all the people staying with us last night, the boys stayed in Evan's room last night and they loved it. Evan started out sleeping on the top bunk, but he decided he wanted to sleep with Noah and the two boys slept next to each other on the bottom bunk all night. They said they wanted to do it again tonight. They weren't very well behaved last night during this as they were talking a lot. We told them that we could try one more time but if they talk to much, we're going to put Noah back in Evan's room. Uh oh, Noah just turned off the monitor. I guess we're going to have to go see what's going on.
Until next time...

Lots of tutoring
Luckily, we didn’t get any ice last night. Morry was able to drive to work this morning without any problems. It was really cold outside though.
I took Noah and Evan to the library this morning. They have a storytime there on Wednesdays at 10:15. I thought we would try it out. Neither of the boys seemed very interested in the librarian. They were more interested in the other kids and books. Noah kept trying to crawl over to someone else’s stroller that was next to us. He just wanted to play with the wheels. After the storytime we picked out a few books and a kid’s airplane movie to bring home.
For lunch I made quesadillas for Evan and cut gingerbread man shapes out of them hoping Evan would eat them. No such luck. Noah ate a lot of little pieces of quesadilla for both lunch and dinner. At least the quesadillas went in someone’s belly.
At 1:30 Blanca arrived and the homeschool Algebra II student came over and stayed until 4:00. Well, he actually stayed a little past 4:00. I told his mom I had to leave the house by 4:00 to meet another student, but for some reason she couldn’t get there in time. At least Blanca was in the house to wait with him until his mom came. At 4:30, I tutored another student for an hour.
I got home around 6:00. We ate chicken and rice soup I made earlier in the day and some leftovers from the other nights. Evan didn’t eat much, but Noah ate a lot ( like always). Noah had his cereal mix, baby food jar, quesadillas, tomatoes, a few pieces of ham, banana, and dried fruit.
After dinner I made cranberry apple crisp. I was in the mood for it. We’ll eat some in a few minutes when I get off the computer.
Evan and Noah are in bed, but it still sounds like they are still awake. Both have runny noses now… it looks like another cold is coming. ugh

Our turn to host playgroup
We had a nice morning. Playgroup was at our house today. I was busy last night and this morning getting the food ready. I put out cranberry apple crisp, fruit salad, veggies, pita, humus, the taboli I made the other day, and blueberry muffins (Evan’s request) that Evan helped me make this morning. I also made coffee and put out orange juice. When the playgroups first started the moms just put out a few snacks for kids, but as time went on we started having more of breakfast/brunch stuff.
We had a good turnout. We had Jodie, Allen, and Thomas, Alena and Avery, Leigh and Katie, Yenis and Kevin, Anna and Regina, and of course me, Evan, and Noah. All the kids played very nicely. Evan Noah had a good time watching all the older kids play. The rollercoaster was a hit like always. The first people got here a little after 10 and everyone had left by 1. I enjoyed it. It’s nice having other moms to talk to and it’s good for Evan to get used to sharing his toys. Some of the moms said how much they liked the food and commented that I do a good job of putting out fun, kid friendly snacks. They said I should write a book.
In case anyone is interested here’s the cranberry apple crisp recipe. I think I got it from one of my mom’s cookbooks.
3 cups cranberries (one 12oz bag)
2 apples (thinly sliced)
½ c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ c flour
2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
¾ c rolled oats
3 tbsp melted butter
1. mix cranberries, apples, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp flour and put in greased baking dish
2. combine remaining flour, brown sugar, and oats. Then, mix in melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit.
3. bake at 375 for 30-40 min
Usually I add a little vanilla to both the fruit mix and the topping. I also double the amount of oat topping since that’s my favorite part.
Yes, I know he needs a haircut.
