Flu Shots

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was one of those days where it starts out warmer in the morning than it is in the afternoon.  Noah and I walked to school and it wasn't too bad.  Around lunch time the cold front came in bringing rain and cooler temperatures.

Around mid-morning, I went into Touch To.  I was able to get some work done there and then went to lunch with Aaron.

Rachel stopped by the BCRC after teaching and then she had a doctor appointment.

I drove to pick Noah up from school since it was drizzling and cold.  Chewie rode with me.

I worked from home in the afternoon.

For dinner we had flank steak.

After dinner, we went to HEB to pick up some medicine and get flu shots for Rachel and the boys.

The boys are playing on their new computer now.

Until next time...

Squeezing Everything In

This morning we walked to school.

Morry went to Camp Gladiator and I went to school

Between my two classes, I went to HEB and got a flu shot.

After school, I came home for a few minutes and then drove to pick up Noah.  He had a 3:30 therapy appointment.

I dropped Noah off with the therapist and Morry got there as I was leaving.

On my way to tutoring, I stopped at Target and Office Depot.

Morry took Noah to football practice and then Evan to baseball practice.

After tutoring, I stopped at home to get Chewie and then went to Noah's football practice. 

We gave Brody a ride home.

Morry and Evan got home around 8:30 and we had pasta for dinner.

We took Chewie for a walk after dinner.

Now the kids are getting ready for bed. 

Week Two Over

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We were a little late getting out of the house this morning.  Noah was giving us a bit of trouble.

I stayed home today to do work.  I just wanted to get a bunch of things done.

Rachel and I went to Wholy Bagel for lunch.  We stopped at the Alamo Drafthouse on the way home to get a gift card.

I had two meetings on the phone before we walked to get the boys.  I wasn't sure if the second call would cause me to not be able to walk but it ended soon enough.

When we got home, Rachel took the boys to the doctor for their yearly check up.  They both were very healthy.  They also got their flu shots.  I'm glad that's taken care of.

For dinner, we had pizza delivered from a place called Jet's.  It was pretty good.

We walked to Grandma and Papa's house after dinner.  Lizzy and the boys really enjoyed themselves in the backyard.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Flu Shots

This morning we drove to school.

During the day I did some things around the house.

We walked to get the boys from school.

After they finished homework, I had the boys finish cleaning up as well.

At 6:25 they had appointments to get flu shots.  I had made this appointment weeks ago.  It was the soonest time they had.

Morry dropped us off at the doctors office on Far West and then went to pick up Zayde.  After getting their flu shots we all went to dinner nearby at Austin Terrier.

We took Zayde home.

Morry is now reading to the boys.

Blanket Fort

Noah keeps asking Morry to wake him up in the mornings so he can take Evan to school.  Morry did wake Noah this morning.  Noah was talking up a storm, very loudly.  I think he was excited.  They couldn't ride bikes since it was misting out.  Morry drove to the path and they walked the rest of the way.

I went for a run and then took Noah to school. 

After that I went to pick up some medicine for me and then to a Mom's Club meeting.

Noah had a good day at school.

Morry took Noah to pick up Evan since I left to tutor.

Gabby came over and a little while later Morry took Evan to the doctor.  He's been coughing for about a week now.  Evan just has a cold, but the doctor prescribed some cough medicine to help him sleep.  Evan also got his flu shot while he was there.

On my way home I picked up Evan's medicine.

Morry gave the boys dinner and then we ate turkey burgers and couscous.  While we were eating the boys made a blanket fort with the dining room chairs.

Evan finished his homework and reading.  Usually while Evan reads to Morry, Noah reads to me.  Noah's been doing very well.  He loves that reading set I got and is doing well sounding out words.

The boys are doing email now and then we'll get them ready for bed.

Flu Vaccines

Noah and I met Evan for lunch at his school. We surprised Evan. I didn't tell him ahead of time because I wasn't sure I'd feel up to going. Evan was really happy to see us. We waited for his class to come down the hallway and then Noah walked quietly with the class in line to the cafeteria. Noah liked eating his lunch in the big cafeteria with Evan.

After lunch, Noah and I went to HEB. We came home to quickly put the groceries away and then Morry came with us to sports class.

Noah was very excited when we got there. He had fun.

We came home for a little bit and then picked up Evan from school.

At 5:40, Evan, Noah, and I had appointments to get our flu vaccines. We got the nasal spray. They were happy not to get shots.

For dinner we had chicken and matzoh ball soup.

So, we are having issues with Mottel again. We thought we had everything under control and things seemed better after moving his food and getting new litter. Now, his thing is peeing on the guest bed downstairs. I have now had to strip the bed, clean the mattress, and wash all of the sheets, comforter, matress pad, and shams 3 times in less than a week. This is really getting old. We try keeping the door closed but the boys come in and out to get their art supplies or whatever. One of them must have left the door open today. Anyway, I don't know how much longer we can deal with this. We need to now look at the various options for Mottel. If you know of a place or person who would take Mottel let us know.

The boys are ready for bed. Morry read to them and they are supposed to be in their rooms right now.

Noah’s Check Up

This morning we had a doctor’s appointment for Noah. It was his 18 month check up and everything looked good. Noah weighs 27 lbs 7oz (70%) and 33.5 inches (70%). Noah got the seasonal flu shot and a hepatitis A shot. We were able to get Evan the H1N1 nasal spray vaccine while we were there too. They didn’t have a seasonal flu shot for Evan or a h1n1 for Noah. We’ll have to try again another time or call around the city.

Blanca came over at 12 and stayed though the afternoon until Morry got home.

When Morry got home we took the boys to get haircuts and then picked up Thai food for dinner.

Evan and Noah are in bed now, but still playing.

Flu Shot for Rachel

This morning we just stayed in the house. Then, after lunch we went up to Morry’s work. They were giving out free flu shots, so I got mine taken care of. They weren’t giving shots to young kids though. I’ll have to take Evan and Noah to their doctor soon to get theirs.

By the time we got home it was about 2:30. The boys went down for naps, but didn’t sleep that long. Evan was up after about an hour.

For dinner we made Turkey burgers and egg drop soup.

After dinner we were able to take a walk. It was actually cool outside. It was nice finally being able to take a walk after all this rain.

Evan and Noah are in Noah’s room now, but neither one is sleeping yet. Evan is singing his ABCs. Noah is whining for some reason.
