Lots of Food

This morning it was drizzling a little bit, but we walked to school anyway.

Around noon, I went over to Mom and Dad's house to meet up with Maureen, Lanie, and David.  Maureen is in town for a few days for the girls trip with Mom, Aunt Susan, and Aunt Diane.  Lanie and David came in for the day from San Antonio.

We ate lunch at Snooze.  It was very good.

I dropped them off at Mom and Dad's house and then Mom, Maureen, Lanie and I walked to pick up the boys from school.  We had to walk back to their house to get my car.  Evan wanted to stay there until his baseball practice.  I took Noah home with me.

I tutored and got home around 5:30.

Evan and Morry got home around 7pm and then we met Mom, Dad, and Maureen at Maudie's for dinner.  The boys ate well. Evan ate a ton of tortillas.

Now the boys are supposed to be getting ready for bed, but it sounds like they are playing.

Home again

We are home from Dallas.

I had been in Dallas since Tuesday and Morry and the boys came on Friday.

I'll post pics from Lauren and Shayne's wedding tomorrow.

Today is Papa/Lenny/Dad's 60th birthday. Last night we had a party at the house for him. Today, I went on a 24 mile bike ride with him around White Rock Lake.

We got home around 6:30 tonight, ate dinner, cleaned up, and now we are totally exhausted.

More tomorrow.

Lynn’s Birthday

Today we took it easy again. Evan was doing much better and acting more himself.

For lunch we had our leftover Rudy’s bbq from last night.

After lunch Evan made sugar cookies with Grandma. He preferred eating the sprinkles to putting them on the cookies.

For dinner we went to Alborz (Persian food) to celebrate Lynn/Mom/Grandma’s birthday. Aunt Susan and Jimmy Spector (Dad’s cousin) met us at Alborz. We had a nice time, except Evan was a litte cranky. Evan and Noah liked watching the belly dancer. There’s a video game at the front of the restaurant and Morry took Evan over there to look at it. Evan wanted to play, but Morry didn’t have any change. When they got back to the table Evan said he wanted to see Grandma. We thought, “Oh, that’s nice.” But what he really wanted was money. He went up to Lynn/Grandma and asked for a quarter. Morry said the quarter maybe gave Evan 25 seconds of game time. At least he was happy.

Tonight we did Hanukkah again. Evan picked out which candles to put in the menorah.

Here are some pictures from Hanukkah and the toys that Evan and Noah got the last few days.

Hello October

Last night was rough. Noah wasn’t feeling well from his shots and was up from 1am-3am. I tried everything to get him to sleep. Even the Motrin didn’t help. Morry eventually had to walk him around until he finally fell asleep. Today Noah has been really cranky too. For his nap I had to rock him for a while to get him to sleep.

This morning we met Melissa and walked around the lake. I brought bread again for Evan to feed the birds and again, he ate a lot of it before we even got to the birds. There weren’t many birds around, but there were some fish and turtles that were happy to get the bread.

For lunch Evan had mac and cheese, dried peas/corn, and wheat thins. We also had some apples and honey. I forgot to do that yesterday. Evan wasn’t sure he wanted the apples with honey, but he finally tried it and of course, liked it. I also cut open a pomegranate. Evan loved that. It’s been a while since he has had pomegranate and he kept telling me he liked it.

Noah hardly napped.

I tutored tonight from 5:30-6:30 and then met Morry, Evan, Noah, and Dad/Lenny/Papa at Matt’s El Rancho for dinner. We didn’t have to wait and got a nice table on the patio. The food was really good. When they brought out the chips and salsa Evan asked for guacamole so we ordered one for Evan and Papa to share. Evan ate a ton and was double-dipping so Papa ended up getting his own. Noah slept pretty much the whole dinner.
