Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Allison had four conference calls today. She was already up and preparing when I woke up this morning.
The kids played upstairs most of the morning. In the late morning, Rachel took Avery and Evan to the pool to go swimming. Noah stayed at home.
When they got back they had lunch.
Later in the afternoon, I played wiffleball in the front yard with all the kids.
For dinner we went to Grandma and Papa's. Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan joined. All the kids really had fun together.
The boys are about to go to bed.
Until next time...

So-So Garage Sale
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We got up early to set up for the garage sale. It was scheduled to start at 7:30. Our neighbors next door as well as directly across the street were part of the garage sale.
We had quite a few people early, but then it petered off. Even the people coming early weren't buying. They looked like they were more wealthy people looking for some diamond in the rough that they could get cheap rather than people looking for stuff specifically.
It ended up being our worst garage sale in terms of profits ever.
After we cleaned up from the garage sale, we walked down the street to where Jack and his sister Audrey were having a bake sale. We bought cookies from them.
In the afternoon, the boys and I watched Jurassic World.
Later, we stopped at Aaron and Mandy's for Jeremy's fourth birthday. We spent about an hour there.
From there we went to Fujiyama for dinner. It's a place where they cook in front of you. I had wanted to do that for Father's Day or my birthday but we were out of town both times. The boys ate well, but especially Evan. Evan ate absolutely everything they gave him.
We're home now and the boys are getting ready for bed.

No School and Flash at the Vet
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was nice sleeping in an hour and a half extra this morning with no school. When I got up, Evan was in his room but awake. Noah was sleeping.
I worked all morning. The boys just played on their iPads.
We went to Wholy Bagel for lunch.
When we got home, Flash began to throw up. He'd vomit a little bit every 2 minutes. One of the times, a big clump of something came up. Rachel and I looked at it. We thought maybe it was some cable from something. Then we realized it was three elastic hair ties of Rachel's. He continued to throw up after that but finally stopped. He went under my desk and looked weak and lethargic. We weren't sure if that was because he was sick or if there was anything still in his stomach. Rachel called the vet and they said to bring him in immediately. They said of there was another hair band in there, it could get wrapped around something and cause big damage. Rachel brought Flash in and they were able to take an x-ray. The x-ray is not 100% definitive, but nothing was shown and no air pockets were visible that would be associated with something like that. When Rachel brought Flash home, he seemed to be acting more normal.
Evan went to Jack's this afternoon. They went swimming for a couple hours.
For dinner, we picked up Evan, then Grandma and Papa and went to the Chuy's up north. Rachel's cousin Lauren was having a dinner there for her daughter's third birthday. We were able to see Aaron and his family and Aunt Susan.
After dinner, we stopped at Aaron's new house for everyone to get to see it. Jeremy and Nathan were very glad to have Evan and Noah there. At one point, Noah was chasing Jeremy around telling Jeremy he was a zombie and was going to eat him. Jeremy thought this was very funny. When we went to leave, Jeremy insisted that Noah and Evan bend down so he could give them a kiss on the cheek.
The boys are in bed now.

Cousins
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
When we walked to school today, we bumped into the family with the two girls who love Lizzy. The oldest, Savannah, is Noah's age. Her younger sister, Brooklyn, is 4 and goes to pre-school. Their mom told us that Brooklyn drew a picture of Brooklyn with Lizzy. Brooklyn was holding Lizzy's leash.
Grandma and Papa returned home after lunch today. Rachel met them at the house as their refrigerator repairman was coming and Rachel was there to let him in.
After picking up the boys, we stopped at Grandma and Papa's for a bit.
Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen flew in today with Maya and Artie. Their flight got in at 5:30. So Rachel picked up Rudy's on her way back from tutoring and we met at Grandma and Papa's. Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan came over as well. After dinner, all the cousins were playing together being wild on a bed. Jeremy and Maya were doing whatever Evan and Noah were doing. Evan and Noah were good at being gentle and making sure Jeremy and Maya were ok. The kids really had a blast.
We're home now and the boys are getting ready for bed.

Boys at the Office
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Both boys really slept in this morning. It was good. Noah slept until after 9 and Evan got up just before 10am. I think it was really good for them.
Rachel went for a run and then came home and got ready to go to tutoring. I need to go into Aaron's for Your Trainer stuff so I brought the boys with me. It worked out well because today is Jeremy's 3rd birthday. When we got to the house and we walked in Jeremy saw Evan and Noah and exclaimed, "Yay!!!! My cousins!" and then he immediately told them to follow him so he could show them some stuff.
I did some work and then the boys came back to the garage office. Everyone, including Jeremy, walked to Nau's and we had lunch there.
We came home after lunch and Rachel was home by that time.
Deborah came over around 4pm to work with Lizzy some.
For dinner, we had leftovers.
We took a walk this evening. It's good for all of us, including Lizzy who isn't walking to school right now.
The boys are about to go to bed.

Mother's Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The boys got up before us this morning. Rachel and I got up at the same time. Being that it was Mother's Day, it was up to Rachel to choose where she wanted to go. Ultimately she chose to go to Crema Bakery. While she was getting ready, the boys and I finished up our gift. We sent her on a scavenger hunt around the house to get gift cards.
Brunch was good. The boys both ate good muffins. Rachel and I liked our food.
From there, we went to Mt. Bonnell. We had taken the boys before but they only have vague memories of it. Of course, that's where Rachel and I got engaged. We all had a good time there.
We met Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan at their house and then walked to the park. The kids played together and they played some basketball.
We all walked over to Nau's Enfield Pharmacy and got some food. The Upshaw family ate their lunch since they hadn't eaten. We got limeades and Noah got a hot dog.
We came home and did our daily Sunday chores. The boys watched Back to the Future II.
We ate pork tenderloin for dinner cooked on the grill.
For dessert we went to TCBY.
The boys are showering and getting ready for bed.

Upshaws
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning Grandma and Papa walked with us to take the boys to school. Lizzy got to see both Crystal and her golden retriever puppy friend.
I went to Aaron's after we got home. Grandma and Papa went out with a realtor to look at houses.
Rachel, Grandma and Papa went to Wholy Bagel but I couldn't join them.
For dinner, Aunt Susan came over and brought Pollo Rico. Aaron, Mandy, Jeremy and Nathan came over as well. Evan, Noah and Jeremy were running around upstairs at one point. When they came downstairs all of them had bright red faces and were sweating. It was a nice time.
The boys are going to bed now. We've got a big day tomorrow with the boys' birthday party.

Two Games, Two Wins
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The Bucs had their first tournament of the season today. It's a two-day tournament. Today was the Pool Play round which sets up seeding for tomorrow. Evan's first game was at 11am. We left the house around 9:15 and stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way and then had warmups.
The Bucs crushed the first team. At one point the score was 14-1. Evan played well. In the first game, he was 1-2 with a walk and two runs scored. He also had a really nice steal where he got an amazing jump. He did have a collision with Darius on a ball when he was playing left field. Evan was coming in for the pop up and Darius, who was playing shortstop, was going out. At the last second, Evan saw Darius and slid and Darius went over top of Evan and kicked Evan in the face. Evan has a pretty swollen lip now but he was ok and it didn't slow him down at all.
Evan caught in the second game. Again, he did well batting. He was 1-1 with a single and a walk. The game was a bit closer but the Bucs won again. The coach singled out Evan for his hustle and heads up play in both games.
Evan and I came home and found that Rachel and Noah were at Costco. Rachel called and said they had bumped into Aaron and Mandy and invited them over to the house. Jeremy was very excited to play with "tiny Legos" which are really normal Legos, but he's used to Duplos. The boys had fun with Jeremy and Nathan.
For dinner, we picked up Yaghi's for Evan and me. Noah had a hot dog and Rachel had a salad.
The boys are going upstairs to bed shortly.

Lunch with the Upshaws
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Aaron and Mandy decided to rent out their condo and then rent a house off of Enfield. It's a nice old house. They invited us over for lunch as well as two other families. It was a pot luck. Rachel made cornbread and we made waffles to bring as well.
Rachel couldn't initially come with us because she was tutoring. She planned to meet us over there.
The boys and I stopped at HEB on the way and also got some chips and dip and then drove there. Little Jeremy was very excited to see the boys. The three of them went and played with Jeremy's train table.
It was a very nice time. Later in the afternoon, we all walked to a really nice park a couple blocks away. Noah held Jeremy's hand on the walk. They had a nice playscape, a basketball hoop and some swings. Evan and I played a bit of basketball. Noah was on the swings for a long time. All-in-all it was a very nice day.
We came home and Rachel did some laundry while the boys watched a ton of Simpsons. You can watch any episode you want at simpsonsworld.com. I can play it on my computer but choose the display (using AppleTV) for our TV so the boys were able to watch the shows on the TV.
We went to Genghis Grill for dinner. It was pretty good. Then we stopped at HEB and picked up some fruit for the week on the way home.
The boys are in their rooms, ready for bed now.

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.

The Nutcracker
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We didn't have any plans for today which was nice. The boys started playing downstairs around 8 in the morning. I finally came downstairs around 9.
Evan told me he wanted to watch Harry Potter. Apparently, he started reading the first book and wanted to see the movie. So in the afternoon, we put it on the TV and I made some popcorn. The boys didn't finish it before we had to leave.
Aaron had told me that his son, Jeremy, was asking to see Evan and Noah. I asked if they'd like to go to dinner with us prior to going to see the Nutcracker. He suggested we go to a place called the 24 Diner. Jeremy sat next to Evan. Evan entertained Jeremy much of the dinner. It was nice.
Then we drove over to see the Nutcracker. Jack's sister Audrey played one of the mice in it. It was done well. The boys got a bit bored towards the end, but it was nice to support Audrey and to let the boys experience something new.
The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Full Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The day began very early this morning. Rachel had us set the alarm for 6 so we could set up for the garage sale. We started putting things out on the driveway and then Rachel woke the boys up at 6:30 to help us out.
The garage sale went well. I made popcorn and we sold sodas as well. All the money from the sale of the popcorn, the sodas and any toys that were sold went to the boys. They did very well and were happy.
After the garage sale, Rachel took the boys to a pool birthday party for Noah's friend.
They left that party early and came home and changed so we could go to Aaron's son's birthday party (Jeremy turned 2).
We came home and hung out a bit. I ordered China Dynasty for dinner.
The boys are upstairs now.

Game Followed By A Bris
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We got home very late from a party with the parents and kids from Evan's baseball team. Because of that the boys slept in this morning. Evan got up after 9am.
We stayed in in the morning taking it easy. At 1:10, Evan and I left for Evan's game. We went through warm-ups and the game started. Evan led off the top of the first and crushed the first pitch he saw to the fence for a triple. He followed that up with an inside-the-park home run to the fence in the 2nd inning and a single in the third inning. He also made a nice play playing shortstop. I was coaching first base rather than pitching today and after Evan's single, he was standing on first. He looked at me and just said "All I need is a double". In baseball there is something called a cycle. If you hit a single, double, triple and home run in a game you hit for the cycle. Evan had that in his head. Unfortunately, his team crushed the other team and the mercy rule came into effect so he didn't get a chance to hit for the cycle.
After the game we drove to Mandy's parent's house. Aaron and Mandy had their second child last week and the Bris was today. Their baby's name is Nathan Elijah. As a Jewish male I had the job of holding the baby during the Bris. At first, Noah was sitting with me, but we decided it was best he didn't really watch. He and Evan played with Aaron and Mandy's 20 month old, Jeremy. Noah, especially, was very good with Jeremy. Jeremy just followed the big boys around everywhere. It was very cute.
We came home and had a small dinner. The boys are in their rooms now.

With Noah
This morning I dropped Evan off at school and then Noah and I went to the gym. I did the dance jam class and then swam a few laps. Noah cried when I first dropped him off at the childcare. He prefers to be there with Evan. When I picked him up, he seemed happy.
We came home for a little bit and ate lunch.
When I picked Evan up the class was outside playing. Noah ran up to Evan and gave him a hug.
When we got home Noah took a nap and Evan watched tv.
Morry and Jeremy, his friend from work, picked up Torchy’s Tacos for us on the way home. They messed up my order and gave me sausage tacos. I gave Noah the sausage and he loved it. Jeremy gave me one of his tacos to eat.
I left to tutor and Morry, Jeremy, Evan, and Noah went to get ice cream.
When I came home the boys were in bed. Evan came downstairs because he got the tiniest little cut on his wrist. I couldn’t even see it at first. He insisted he needed ice. We didn’t feel like arguing so we let him bring the ice pack to his room.

School and Dinner with Jeremy
Evan slept until almost 9:00am. I went in a little before 9 to wake him up for school. He was awake, but still in bed. He must have been tired.
Noah and I dropped Evan off and school and then just came home. We stayed in the house this morning. Noah took a short morning nap. I woke him up after an hour so he would nap this afternoon. I just did a few things around the house and then we ate lunch.
At school Natasha told me Evan didn’t eat much today at lunch. Evan has a runny nose. I’m not sure if it’s a cold or allergies. He’s acting fine, but maybe it’s affecting his stomach.
The boys didn’t nap for long. I put them down around 2:15, but about an hour later our lawn guys where here mowing and it woke them up.
Blanca came at 4:00. I tutored from 4:30-6:30.
I had plans to meet Morry, Evan, Noah, and Jeremy (Morry’s friend/co-worker from Chicago) at dinner. We decided to meet at Matt’s El Rancho. When we pulled up the restaurant was closed. They are doing some street work in front of the restaurant, but not to the parking lot. We couldn’t figure out why it was closed.
So, we decided to go to La Feria, another Mexican restaurant down the street. The food was good, but the service wasn’t great. It took forever just to place our order. Maybe I should complain and try to get another free meal j/k.
We got home around 8:30 and the boys are in bed now.
Noah and I dropped Evan off and school and then just came home. We stayed in the house this morning. Noah took a short morning nap. I woke him up after an hour so he would nap this afternoon. I just did a few things around the house and then we ate lunch.
At school Natasha told me Evan didn’t eat much today at lunch. Evan has a runny nose. I’m not sure if it’s a cold or allergies. He’s acting fine, but maybe it’s affecting his stomach.
The boys didn’t nap for long. I put them down around 2:15, but about an hour later our lawn guys where here mowing and it woke them up.

The Park
Today we went to the park and met Yenis and Kevin there. We went to the park that has the old school type equipment. There is a merry-go-round and see-saws. I put Noah in the backpack and followed Evan around the small park. Evan loved the merry-go-round and see-saw. There was also a spring rocking horse that he spent a lot of time playing. I called him a cowboy and Woody (from Toy Story). He loved that. Evan wanted me to keep saying, “Hi Cowboy” or “Hi Woody.”
After the park Yenis and Kevin came to our house for lunch. Yenis and I had sandwiches and the boys had pizza.
Noah took a good nap, but Evan didn’t sleep that long.
Jeremy, Morry's friend from work, is in town this week. We invited him over for dinner. We had corned beef, veggies, and corn bread for dinner.
After we put the boys to bed I’m going out with Alissa. Morry and Jeremy are going to watch a movie at home.
