Meetings

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was somewhat cold this morning but it wasn't raining or wet, so we were able to walk Noah to school.  Chewie was happy.

I worked from home for a while in the morning and then went into Touch To.

Rachel met her friend, Lorena, for lunch at Galaxy Cafe.  They stayed there and talked until Rachel had to go into Charles Maund Toyota for a meeting.

Rachel met with people from Charles Maund and some marketing people from the Austin American-Statesman about a marketing campaign.  It seemed to go well.

Rachel was not able to make it home to get Noah.  I left Touch To and ran into bad traffic.  In fact, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it home to get Noah.  I got there just as Noah was walking up the hill.

I worked from home the rest of the day.

After Rachel's meeting with Charles Maund, she had a separate individual meeting with the woman from the Austin American-Statesman.

For dinner, we met Rachel at a place called Snarf's.  It's a sandwich place.  It wasn't too bad.

We're home now and the boys are upstairs playing Fortnite.  Rachel is practicing her presentation.

Until next time...

Family Get-together

Last night I spent the night at Grandma and Papa's house.

This morning around 11am Lorena picked me up and we went out to lunch at Snooze.

Morry, Chewie, and I walked to get Noah from school.

From 6-7pm both Evan and Noah had a baseball lesson.  They said it went well.

At 7:30, we met at Grandma and Papa's house for dinner.  Michael is in town for work.  Aunt Susan and Aaron's family came as well.

We got home a little while ago.

Evan is finishing homework and then the kids will get ready for bed.

Everyone's Busy

This morning we walked Noah to school.

I went to school and Morry had got a haircut and then had a meeting.

Shortly after we each got home we walked to pick up Noah. 

Noah went to Grandma's right after school.

Around 5:15 I pickup up Lorena and she came with me to a blogger's event.  It was a hotel/shopping event. We got food and drinks at Sonesta in Bee Cave.  Then, they gave us the hotel tour.  After that, we got on their trolley and we toured a few different shops at the Hill Country Gallery.  At each shop, they had some kind of gift or swag for us.  It was a very nice event.

Evan and Morry went to baseball practice and then ate dinner at Mod Pizza.

We got home around 8:30.  Then, Morry walked with Chewie to pick up Noah.

Now the kids are in bed.

One Down, Thirty-Seven To Go

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The boys have finished up their first week of school.  Evan, Rachel and I walked Noah to school.  As we walked back, we saw Evan's friend Luke again.  He walked back with us to the bus stop.

I went to HomeAway for meetings in the morning.

Rachel had coffee with Lorena.  Then she went to Costco which was so packed she could barely get in the door.  With the news of the hurricane, everyone is freaking out.  She quickly gave up and went to Randall's which is never crowded.  Today, though, Rachel said it was pretty crowded.

We met at Wholy Bagel for lunch.

There was a brief shower before we walked to get Noah.  Evan got home on the bus not too long afterward.

For dinner, we got Pizza Hut.

After dinner there was an impromptu wiffleball game in the cul-de-sac with our neighbors.

The boys will be getting ready for bed soon.

Until next time...

Meeting At Aaron's

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Rachel walked with Lorena after dropping the boys off at school.  Lizzy and I walked home after saying goodbye to the boys.

I went into Aaron's this morning.  Aaron, Mandy and I had a meeting about Focus Forward.  It was a good productive meeting.

For lunch, we met Mike before he left to go home to Seattle.  We ate at this little Mexican restaurant that I had never been to.  It was pretty good.

Rachel didn't have to tutor this afternoon so she stayed at home after walking to get the boys.

I took Evan to practice in the afternoon.  We stopped at Grandma and Papa's on the way home to drop off a packet that Evan's teacher wanted to give to Grandma since she is helping to teach.

We had smoked turkey legs for dinner.

Rachel is helping Evan with his math now.  After that the boys will get ready for bed.

Until next time...

Mrs. Grandma

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We went to Camp Gladiator this morning after taking the kids to school.  Today was a bit different.  The normal trainer brought in a yoga instructor so it was a yoga session.  I knew the yoga instructor.  He was a trainer that had worked with Your Trainer to create all the videos and workout sessions.  We talked for a bit before class.  The class was good.

When we got home, Rachel went on a walk with Lorena.

I stayed home today.

Evan's teacher asked if either Rachel or Grandma would be willing to work with a few kids each week on advanced math.  It was opened up to all the kids in the class and those kids that were interested could do it.  Evan, of course wanted to do the advanced math.  So Grandma came into school today and worked with 12 of the kids from Evan's class.  Rachel joked about what Evan would call her.  She said that Evan should call Grandma, Mrs. Grandma.  Evan really enjoyed it.  He said he likes sixth grade math better than fifth grade math.

We picked up the boys from school and then Rachel left to tutor.

The boys and I went to Oak Hill.  I pitched to each boy in the batting cage.

We stopped at HEB on the way home to get some things.

For dinner we had flank steak.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Swimming and Bowling

This morning I went to get my blood drawn.

At 11am the boys and I met some people at the pool.  Lorena got a bunch of entering 3rd grade boys together to meet a new kids coming to the school.  We stayed at the pool until 2pm.

Around 4:45 we met a friend of mine and her sons for bowling.  The kids had a good time.

For dinner we had leftover grilled chicken and then went for a walk.

The kids are playing Minecraft now.

Here's a picture from today.

Whole Foods Lunch

This morning I went for a run and then the boys and I went to Whole Foods for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.  The boys were very good.

We took it easy in the afternoon and then had an early dinner. We had grilled chicken.

The boys made a movie trailer and short movie that we watched after dinner.  It was very cute.

I went with Lorena to see the movie Bad Moms and Deborah met us there.

I just got home.

The boys are in bed.

Monday and Tuesday

Yesterday I took the kids to our community pool.  They had a good time.  They were there for 4 hours, and even after that, still didn't want to leave.

Today, we met Lorena, Owen, and Liam at the UT campus.  We took the kids bowling at the UT student union and then ate at the food court there.  We walked around campus a little bit and went into the bookstore.

From there, we went downtown for Voodoo Donuts. The kids really enjoyed that!

For dinner we ate at Hula Hut.

The kids had fun playing together at home tonight.

They are getting ready for bed now.

Here are some pictures of our day.

Wet Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

There was a light rain this morning when we got up.  It also looked like the skies could really open up at any moment.  So we decided to drive to the trail and then walk into school.

When we got home, someone from Bosch came to replace a piece on our dishwasher.  It's just an external piece that is about looks.  It doesn't affect the functioning of the dishwasher, but it looks broken on the outside.  Since the dishwasher is only a year old we called Bosch and they agreed to send someone to fix it.  The repairman said this has been a common problem and Bosch is aware of it which is why, I guess, they sent someone out to fix it.  The guy was only here for about 5 to 10 minutes.

After that, Rachel and Lorena walked to Starbucks.  It wasn't raining at that time but it was very humid out.  When Rachel got home, it almost looked like she had been in the rain.

When we left to walk to pick up the boys, it started to rain a bit harder, so we came back in the garage and drove.  Jack came home with us for tutoring.  Audrey came after that.

While Rachel was tutoring Audrey, Evan and I left for baseball practice.  The sun had come out by this time.  Evan had another good practice.  He pitched well and he played catcher again.  I don't know if that means he'll catch in a game or not.  He's excited about the possibility.

We had blackened chicken for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Busy Thursday

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

As we left to go to school this morning, I checked the temperature and it said 32 degrees.  I don't think it felt that cold though.

I left shortly after I got home to run to a client's location.  From there, Mandy and I had a meeting with a prospective client.  It went very well.  Then I went back to the client for a little while before going home.

Owen's mom, Lorena, had a brunch for some moms this morning.  Rachel went.  She said it was a lot of fun.

The boys were in good moods when we picked them up.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.  I went outside and played football with Evan.

For dinner, we had a frozen Asian dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

One more week

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today marks a week until school is out for winter break.  It also marks one week until we see Star Wars.

Rachel walked with Lorena after dropping the boys off at school.  That meant that Lizzy and I did not wait for Rachel to come up from school.  We just walked home.  This bothers Lizzy tremendously.  She does not like to leave anyone behind.  It's really hard to get her to move.

We went to Wholy Bagel for lunch.  We got there just after 11 but they were out of quite a few bagels.

In the afternoon, I had to go to a meeting with the investor in Your Trainer.  The investors wanted a presentation of what was going on.  I did not personally present, but I was required to be there.

For dinner, we ordered Papa John's.

We went to Target to get some things including gifts for birthday parties that the boys are attending.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Lunch with Noah

This morning we walked to school.

I walked back to the school later in the morning to have lunch with Noah.  By chance, Owen's mom was there to have lunch as well so we all sat together at the visitors table.

Morry and I walked to get the kids from school.  Jack came home with us for tutoring.

When Jack was done with tutoring Audrey came over for her tutoring.

We ate dinner and then I left to tutor again.

While I was gone Morry and the boys watched the Pirates game on TV.

Evan and Noah are getting ready for bed now.

Almost the Weekend

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The mornings have been relatively easy this week.  The boys were in good moods.  We walked with Lizzy on the way to school and she walked well.  Rachel walked the boys into the school and I went home.  Rachel met Lorena at the school and then went to Starbucks.

I went into have a meeting with Your Trainer.

On the way home, I stopped and picked up a smoothie at Smoothie King.

Rachel met some other mom's for lunch.

We walked to get the boys and they seemed to have a good day.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.  When she got back we had leftovers for dinner.

We took a walk after dinner and now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Park and Bowling

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Evan went with Rachel on a run.  This time, though, he didn't run, he went on his scooter.

When they got back, Rachel packed everyone a lunch and she and the boys went and had a picnic at the park.

They were only home from the park for a short time before they had to leave again.  They planned another time bowling with Owen and Lorena.  Evan invited Darius so Rachel picked up Darius on the way to bowling.  Darius came back to our house after bowling and played here for a while before Daniel picked them up.

I grilled ribs for dinner while Rachel tutored.  The boys ate very well.  They really like when I make ribs.

We walked to Grandma and Papa's after dinner.  Unlike the last two nights where we had to take care of something over there, this time the boys insisted that our walk take us over there so they could play in the backyard for a bit.  Lizzy enjoyed running around the backyard.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Bowling and Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We hired a tree service to trim all of our trees.  All of them needed to be trimmed.  Some of the ones closest to the house were scraping the gutters and roof so we needed to get them trimmed.  I wanted to wait until winter but when we saw the branches hit the house we knew we had to get it done sooner.  They came this morning at 9am to start trimming.

Rachel went for a run when she got up and then made the boys lunch.

Lorena and Owen invited Rachel, Evan and Noah to go bowling as well as the other boys in Noah's group of friends.  Evan invited his friend Josh from the baseball team.  They had to pick up Josh on the way to the bowling alley.  They all had a blast.  Rachel said all six boys got along really well.  Josh is going into fifth grade and Rachel said he was really good with the second graders.  Noah won the second game they bowled beating out Evan and Josh.  I think they used bumpers in the gutters but still, he won which is great.

Afterwards, Josh came home with them because Josh and Evan (and another boy, Jacob) had a baseball lesson with Coach Chris.  They worked on pitching.  Evan and Josh convinced Noah to come and watch, so he was out at the fields with us.

We came home and had leftovers again for dinner.

The boys are now in bed.

Until next time...

Swimming

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Things were finally back to normal this morning.  I got up and did some work.  Evan came down shortly after I got up.  Noah got up a bit after that.

Later in the morning I went into Aaron's for a bit so we could figure out what's next for Your Trainer.

The boys stayed at home while Rachel went for a run and they read.

I got home around lunch time.

In the afternoon, the boys played on their iPads for a while.  They went outside for a bit too. Around 3, Rachel took them to the pool to meet Lorena and Owen.  They stayed until around 5pm.

When they got home, we went to Target, Costco and CVS to get some things.

We ate leftovers for dinner and then took a walk.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Fun Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning I got up before everyone and did some work.  Rachel got up shortly thereafter as she had a conference call.  I then left to go to HomeAway.

Rachel and the boys met Uncle Billy, Leslie and Aunt Susan for brunch at Magnolia Cafe.  They seemed to have a good time.

From there, Rachel and the boys walked around Lady Bird Lake.

After that, they met up with Lorena and Owen and went bowling.  They were able to get two games of bowling in.  And then the boys used gift certificates they had gotten for their birthday to get ice cream at Amy's Ice Cream.

When I got home, I took the boys to HEB to get some stuff.  Rachel stayed at home.

We had some leftovers for dinner and then took a walk.  We went by Grandma and Papa's new house.

Until next time...

Breakfast for Dinner

This morning Owen came over at 9:40 so Lorena could go to a doctors appointment.   Noah woke up a little bit before Owen got here.  Evan woke up when he heard Owen come in the house.

Deborah came to work on Lizzy a little before noon.

Lorena came to get Owen around noon.

This afternoon we stayed at home.  The boys played and I got some things done around the house, made some phone calls, and responded to emails.

Morry was out at a meeting for most of the day.

A little while after he got home we went out to pick up shoes for me and then did a short trip to Costco.

For dinner, the boys and I had breakfast for dinner.  I made waffles, pancakes, and scrambled eggs.  Morry had some leftover Mexican food.

In a few minutes the boys will get ready for bed.

No More Bunk Bed

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I got up this morning and started working.  Rachel then got up because she was going to go to do a workout with Lorena.  She was going to bring the boys.  Shortly before Rachel was going to leave, she woke up the boys who were still sleeping.

Then I went into Aaron's for a meeting.  When I came home, I stopped at Smoothie King and got smoothies for the boys and me.

When I got home the boys were playing with Brody.

We had pasta for dinner.

Then we walked by Grandma and Papa's new house.

When we got home, we continued with all the big changes we're making.  Last week, we got rid of the playscape.  Today, we took apart Evan's bunk bed.  I put it in the attic for now.  I think that Aaron and Mandy are going to want it for Jeremy eventually.  We also took apart the desk in Evan's room as it's really bigger than what he really needs.  Rachel listed the desk on a Facebook group where you can sell stuff.  We'll get Evan a new desk that is smaller some time this summer.  Our new mattress will be delivered on Friday (hopefully) and then we'll move our mattresses into Evan's room and use the frame that came with the mattress.  For now, Evan is sleeping on the mattress that was with the bunk bed, but it's just on the floor.

The boys are asleep now.

Until next time...
