Yesterday Noah had his cooking class and seemed to have fun.
In the afternoon we took all three animals to the vet for their yearly checkup. They were all due and we thought it would be better just to take them all at the same time. So, all four of us plus the 3 animals went to the vet.
They were amazed at how much Lizzy improved since the last time she was there. She has a tumor in her rectum that is slow growing, but there's really nothing we can do for it. Besides that, she's doing pretty well.
Flash checked out fine. Everything looked good.
Calvin has lost quite a bit of weight. He's down to the same weight as Flash now (8.3 pounds). We got some bloodwork done. Today, they said they think he has a UTI so we will start him on antibiotics for 10 days to see if that helps. If he continues to lose weight we will need to bring him in for an ultrasound.
Last night we grilled steak for dinner.
Today, Noah went to cooking camp again and enjoyed it.
Evan hung out with Morry at Aaron's for meetings. Evan really enjoyed doing that and getting lunch with all of them at the Little Deli.
This afternoon, Evan hung out with Wade. They went swimming at Lifetime Fitness.
I was supposed to tutor this afternoon but it got rescheduled for Thursday.
For dinner, we had corned beef.
We took a walk after dinner.
Now we are going to have dessert - s'mores on the grill.

Morry's Birthday
Today is Morry's birthday.
This morning before Evan left to hang out with Wade, we gave Morry his present.
Wade's mom picked up Evan around 9:30 and took them to Lifetime Fitness and then Locomotion. Evan got back mid afternoon.
For lunch we went to Fire Bowl.
At 1pm the Pooch Caboose came to bathe and trim Lizzy. It took the woman about 2 hours. Lizzy looks really good now - younger and thinner. :)
For dinner we ate at Cypress Grill and for dessert, we got frozen custard at Freddy's.
Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Close to Home
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
For the most part, we stayed close to home today. The boys got up earlier than us as usual on the weekends. Rachel was scheduled to tutor at 10:45 this morning, so we got up around 9:30 and Rachel left at 10:15.
After Rachel left, the boys played baseball in the backyard. Then I took them to Smoothie King to get smoothies and pick up dog food for Lizzy at Healthy Pet.
When we came home, I made lunch for the boys. I made fried matzoh for Evan and me and a hot dog for Noah. Rachel came home just after lunch. She ate a quick lunch, while we had a catch out in the yard and then Rachel took the boys to a birthday party at Lifetime Fitness.
The birthday party was for Evan's old friend Kevin. They had a bunch of things going on there, some sort of scooter and they played freeze tag. Evan played basketball with Rachel there a bit. On the way out, Evan bumped into his buddy, Carter, from his baseball team. Evan was super excited to tell me he saw Carter when they got home. That seemed to be the highlight of the afternoon.
For dinner, we went to Brick Over Pizza. The food was served super fast and the boys did really well there.
We just gave the boys showers and about to put them to bed. Until next time...
Also, please note - if you are looking to get the boys gifts for Hanukkah, there is a list to the right of things they would like. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Race for the Cure
This morning Morry and I woke up at 5:30am. Gabby came at 6am and Evan was already awake.
We went to Race for the Cure. We got VIP survivor parking and didn’t have to walk far. We also had access to the survivor tent where they had free breakfast and other goodies.
The race went well. Afterward Morry and I walked around a little bit and collected freebies.
We got home around 10am. Both boys had a good time with Gabby this morning.
Evan really wanted to go swimming. So, we waited until 12pm when the indoor pool at Lifetime Fitness opened. Evan and Noah had a good time swimming and didn’t give us a hard time when it was time to leave.
When we got home we had lunch and put Noah down for a nap. Noah slept and Evan fell asleep on the couch.
For dinner we had the last of the Home Slice Pizza leftover from the party.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed.

School and Running
This morning when I dropped Noah off he started crying. Miss Terrie wasn’t in the room, so I thought maybe he was upset she wasn’t there. The other teacher Miss Alexis was there though.
After dropping off the kids at school I met a trainer from Lifetime Fitness at the trail across from the gym. She organizes a running club, but they meet at 8:30 on Tues/Thurs so I can’t go since that’s when I take the boys to school. Anyway, she offered to meet me and help me with my running. Today, she had me run a mile so she could get a feel of where I was and how I run. I ran a mile in 8 minutes and 40 seconds. She seemed happy with my speed and form. She did offer some suggestions. After that she had me run about another mile and half. We are planning to meet again on Tuesday.
After running I went over to Groovy Lube. Ever since we got an inspection a few weeks ago I have notice the gas mileage decreased in my car. I used to get 19 or 20mpg and now I’m getting 16 or 17mpg. The guy said he’d take a look at my car, though he claimed they don’t touch anything that would affect the gas mileage when they do inspections. He quickly looked at the car and didn’t see anything. He thinks we should do the 60,000 mile check up (which we are due to get) and perhaps we just need new spark plugs? He wanted me to track the gas mileage again for this tank and let him know how it turns out. I was kind of annoyed because I have been tracking the gas mileage for the last few weeks. I don’t see how it would be any different this week. He didn’t do anything.
After that I went home for a little bit and then it was time to pick up the boys. When I picked up Noah they confirmed that he had been crying because Terrie wasn’t in the room. As soon as she came in Noah stopped crying. Both Evan and Noah were happy and seemed to have a good day at school.
When we got home I put Noah down for a nap and he actually napped.
Blanca came 4pm and I tutored.
I got home around 6:30. For dinner we had ribs and baked potatoes.
We are about to put the boys to bed.
Blanca is coming back at 8:30pm to babysit for us.
We are going to the Alamo Draft House for the Spaceballs Quote-along and Bill Pullman (from Spaceballs) will be there. Morry is super excited.

Swim Lessons
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Around 6:30, Evan came into our room. I didn't, however, get up to get him breakfast until 7 or 7:15. He watched TV in the gameroom. Sometime after 8, Noah woke up and was calling for us. We just sent Evan in there. He and Noah went downstairs and played for awhile downstairs. We could hear Noah talking so much and so loudly we were ok with it.
Today was the first day of swim lessons at Lifetime Fitness for the boys. Noah was first, at 11:55. I took Evan to the outside pool while Rachel was with Noah at the swim lesson. There was one other kid in his class. Apparently he wouldn't do anything that the instructor was telling him. At the beginning he just cried and held on to Rachel. Even after he stopped crying he continued to hold onto Rachel.
Meanwhile, they were having a "pool party" for Memorial Day weekend out at the pool. They had a blow up water slide, games, face painting, etc... Evan just wanted to go down the blow up water slide over and over. He loved it. At 12:30, I took him in for his lesson. He was the only kid in his class so it was a private lesson. He always looks so serious when he does this type of thing but when he finished he just talked about how much fun he had and how he learned how to swim. He told me he "walked like an astronaut". I'm wondering if that's what they told him it was when he was treading water. He seemed to do very well.
After the gym, we came home and made lunch. Following lunch we put Noah down for a nap.
At the end of Noah's nap, we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do tonight. Rachel had heard there was a restaurant out of Austin a bit that had a big open field for the kids to play on while you ate. We also heard that it gets crowded quickly. So we got everything together and drove out there. We got there at 6pm and it's a good thing we did because it filled up fast. We sat on the patio and the boys ran around kicking soccer balls, throwing footballs, throwing Frisbees. Noah just did whatever Evan did. He was Evan's shadow. It was very cute. The restaurant is called Verde's Mexican Parilla.
We stopped on the way home at Yogurt Planet. The boys really enjoyed that.
They are in bed now although Evan is being very loud upstairs.
Until next time...

Gym and a Date
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Last night, both boys got up saying their tummy hurt. Neither seems to be serious, luckily. Apparently the virus that caused Evan's croup is associated a bit with a small intestinal virus and Noah may have that. Evan seems to be fine.
Evan got up around 7:30 this morning. As usual, I went down and got breakfast for him and then he watched tv in the gameroom.
We hadn't yet signed up at Lifetime Fitness and we got invited to an open house there. So we could use the gym for free and they'd buy as lunch as part of it. This particular gym has a cafe in it. We went over there and put the boys in the daycare. We didn't realize this but the daycare has an outside area so the boys ran to go out there. I think they had a good time. Rachel and I worked out for about an hour, including going into the basketball area and just shooting hoops. We got the boys and went and ate at the cafeteria. They both ate their chips and some of the fruit but they didn't eat their peanut butter and jelly sandwich. After lunch, we went into the pool area for free swim. They have a big water slide and things that spray. And a lot of the pool is shallow enough for both boys to walk around. We also had them tested for which swimming class they should go in. Evan went on the water slide but the end was tough because it put him into deeper water. A lifeguard was there to catch him, but I think going underwater scared him a bit. He wasn't crying, but he didn't seem to keen to do it again.
After the gym we came home and Noah took a nap. Evan played upstairs. I did some work. Rachel did some blog stuff and then took a nap.
Erika and Jonah came over tonight so we could go on a date. The boys were eating when they got here but finished before we left. Neither Evan nor Noah seemed upset when we left so that was good.
We weren't sure what we were going to do but ended up at the Melting Pot. It was nice and it was nice to have some quiet time.
When we got home, both boys were in bed and sleeping (although I guess Noah woke up when he heard us). They said that Evan didn't give them a hard time which is good. Noah threw a mini-fit but overall he went to bed easily. I'm glad that it was so easy for them.

Sick Evan
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Evan got up around 8:30 or so. I went downstairs and got him breakfast. I opened up a box of Pop Tarts. I opened one of the packs of two from within the box. The Pop Tart seemed a little off, it felt like the icing had melted. So I threw that out and gave him the other Pop Tart which seemed normal.
At about 9:30 Noah got up. Evan went in Noah's room and they played together. A little while later, Rachel got up, got the boys dressed, and brought them downstairs.
We decided we were going to try Lifetime Fitness today. We got ready to go. Evan started complaining that his stomach hurt, but he wanted to go to the gym. We put him in the car but he looked sick as we were driving. I started turning around but Evan threw a fit. He insisted he was fine and wanted to go to the gym.
The gym was incredibly fancy. We dropped the kids off at the kids area and we took a tour. Then we worked out a bit.
We got the kids and went to the cafe (yes there's a cafe in the gym). Evan said he wanted to go home though, so we didn't eat there. We got home and I was carrying Evan into the house when he vomited all over me. He was such a trooper though. He never cried, never seemed upset by it. For him, it was lucky because he didn't get much on himself, but we stripped him down. I took him upstairs and laid him on the couch in the gameroom. He wanted a Sprite so I got him some Sprite. Within a little bit, he was very hyper and back to his normal self.
We had some lunch upstairs, although Evan didn't eat. We didn't want him to eat either. Then we put Noah down for a nap. Evan laid down in our bed and was watching tv. I was working on the computer downstairs. Then I heard Evan throw up again, even from down here. He wanted to go downstairs and was thirsty. I brought him downstairs and turned on the tv for him and let him lay down downstairs. Then I cleaned up the carpet upstairs.
For dinner, Rachel and I ordered from Eat Out In. We got Chinatown. While we were waiting for dinner, though, Evan threw up again. This was a bit worse as he had been drinking purple Gatorade. There was purple all over the floor. But again, Evan was a trooper. He never seems up set by it.
We got Noah some dinner and then our dinner was delivered. We put Evan on my side of the bed and he's laying there now. Noah is asleep in his room. We took Evan's temperature and it was 100.1°. We had originally thought it was the Pop Tart that caused Evan to be sick, but the fact he has a fever and vomited three times makes us think he has the stomach bug. But he keeps drinking in between and he had a popsicle.

Lots to Do
This morning Evan slept until 8 something and I had to wake Noah up a little before 9am. First, we dropped Evan off and school and then I took Noah to Alena’s house. I came home and started the laundry and cleaned up a little. Yenis came over at 10:45am and then we went to lunch at Freddie’s Place. After lunch we stopped by Lifetime Fitness, a fancy gym. Her husband had lost his keys there and she wanted to see if they had found them. She gave me a tour of the gym. It was really nice. The kids/babysitting area looked really fun. They had an indoor playscape like at Chick-Fil-A and a small gym for the kids to play, as well as computers and movies. We would love to join there, but it’s pretty pricy. We’ll see. If I can maybe get a couple more students for tutoring we might consider.
Then, Yenis dropped me off at home so I could get my car and then we picked up the kids. I picked up Evan first and then Noah. They both were in good moods and seemed to have a good day.
When we got home I put the boys down for naps and the folded a ton of laundry. We still hadn’t folded the laundry from last week. I also cleaned the house some more to get ready for playgroup tomorrow. We are hosting playgroup at our house tomorrow at 10am.
For dinner we made potatoes. Morry had a hamburger and I had my leftover Chuy’s. After dinner I got some stuff ready for playgroup and cleaned up a little more.
We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed. I hear Noah talking now.
