Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was very foggy and humid this morning when we walked to the boys to school. The fog mostly lifted by the time we had Camp Gladiator, but the humidity was still there. It made it tough to work out.
For lunch, Rachel continued her week of going out and met her friend Melissa. It had been quite some time since they saw each other.
The boys were in a good mood when we picked them up from school. Evan had a good game of football at recess, apparently.
Rachel tutored in the afternoon.
For dinner we had leftover corned beef and grilled corn on the cob.
The boys are getting ready for bed.
Until next time...

Mike Lupica
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We found out last night that Evan's football game today was cancelled. We knew we'd get to sleep in. This was the first weekend day in three weeks that we could sleep in some. It was very nice.
We relaxed at home all morning. In the early afternoon, we went to Max's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The boy stuck together mostly while they played video games. Max seemed to have a good time.
From there, we went to Half Price Books. Evan's teacher had emailed us and said she knew Evan was into sports and sports books and that Mike Lupica was going to be there signing his books that he writes for young adults. Mike Lupica is a famous sports columnist. He's also got a radio show I believe. Rachel's cousin Leah had given the boys two of Mike Lupica's books over the summer. So we went and he spoke for about 20-30 minutes. He was very funny and charming. The boys really seemed to be enjoying the stories he was telling. Then he started signing books. Noah went first and Mike Lupica was amazed. Normally his readers are older (technically Noah hasn't read the books). He talked to Noah for awhile and told him that he was happy that Noah came to see him. Then he looked at Rachel and commented on Noah's eyes. He talked to Evan a bit but Evan was pretty shy. It was a really good experience for the boys though. I think they enjoyed it. We stayed a bit longer and bought some other books for the boys.
We grabbed dinner at a Vietnamese place called PhoNatic. The boys each had charcoal beef. Noah ate his with rice and Evan had his with vermicelli. It was good that they ate Vietnamese food.
From there we went to Rachel's friend Melissa's house. She was having a little house party. We stayed there for a bit.
Now the boys are in their rooms and getting ready for bed.

Movies and Football
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
When I got up this morning, Evan and Noah were downstairs playing Wii. Calvin slept in Evan's bedroom last night as did Noah. At first Calvin slept in the lower bunk with Evan but he ended up somehow getting to the upper bunk and sleeping with Noah. Calvin came downstairs with Evan in the morning and went into my office.
Rachel met her friend Melissa for lunch while the boys and I went to see Thor. The boys seemed to like Thor. It was very action-packed so it held their attention. There were a couple scenes that could have been scary but neither boy seemed affected. On the way home, I asked them if they were scared. They looked at me like I was crazy.
When we got home we watched the Steelers game. We ended up bring Calvin out of my office and he sat on the couch with the boys and me and watched some of the game.
After dinner we had some leftovers.
Then the boys and Lizzy all had showers. Calvin is now upstairs in the Evan's bedroom with the boys.

Matt, Rachael and Max
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I mentioned this before but with Evan not in school, he's sleeping later and therefore getting up later. The boys got up at 9am today. I helped Evan put together the Legos that Grandmom bought him yesterday.
For brunch we went to a place called Cafe Java. We hadn't been there before. It was up in North Austin, but we figured we'd try it out. Both Rachel and I enjoyed our food.
When we came home, I did a bit of work while the boys played both with some football toys that Grandmom bought as well as the iPad and iPhone.
At 4pm, Matt, Rachael and Max came over. Max liked playing with Evan and Noah since they were the big kids.
Rachel met Melissa for dinner, while the rest of us went to Johnny Carino's.
When we got home I put the boys to bed. They are still up though. Rachel came home a bit ago.

Games Cancelled
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I slept in this morning. I guess I was really tired as I got up around 10:30 and Rachel had just gotten back from a run. The boys were playing some sort of game downstairs that they made up where they hit a ball with a stick.
Rachel got ready for a brunch with her friend Melissa. I started getting things ready for the boys' baseball games. Noah had a game at 2:15 and Evan had a game at 3:30.
Rachel came downstairs and we got the car packed because she and Noah are going to Dallas this week. She was going to go to brunch, come over to the fields afterwards, and then take Noah from the fields. However, just as she left, we got a message that the fields were too wet from yesterday and the games were cancelled. Both boys were disappointed.
I got lunch for the boys, showered, and then had lunch for myself.
Shortly thereafter, Rachel came home and she and Noah left.
Evan and I watched some baseball and then went outside to play baseball. We were briefly sent inside as it started to rain but it cleared up and we went back outside.
For dinner, we picked up McDonald's and got the move Pirates! A Band of Misfits from Redbox and watched that while we ate.
We talked with Rachel and Noah on Facetime before bed.
Evan is now in bed.

Hot Walk
This morning we walked around the lake with the boys and Lizzy. It was pretty hot out. Lizzy was happy to be able to swim and fetch the ball though.
After walking around the lake we stopped to sign the boys up for tball/baseball for the fall.
This afternoon Morry got a haircut.
We ate dinner at a place called Billy's on Burnet. It a burger joint/ bar food place. It worked out fine. We brought food for the kids to eat since there wasn't much on the menu they would eat.
We went to Melissa's house tonight. She was having a little party since her parents and sister were in town. They had Karaoke there. The boys were good and had fun entertaining everyone there. They both "sang" (babbled nonsense words into the mic) and "danced" (rolled around on the ground and acted silly).
Noah fell asleep in the car on the way home. Morry is getting Evan ready for bed now.

Long, Good Day
Evan was up around 7am this morning and Noah got up about 9am.
Evan had his first tball practice this morning at 11:30am. On our way there we stopped at the Coffee Bean, which just opened up near us. I got a coffee and breakfast taco for me and coffee cake for the boys to share.
It was a good baseball practice. Evan had fun. The coaches seemed nice and excited to be there.
After the practice Evan's friend Jack (also on the team) and Jack's dad played catch a little bit. We had to go home to eat lunch but made plans with them to play after lunch.
We came home and ate lunch and then Jack rang the doorbell. We took the kids in the cul-de-sac for a while. Noah started getting cranky and wanted to go home for a nap. I took him back home and Evan stayed out with Jack and his dad for another 15 minutes or so.
At 5:30 we met Melissa for dinner at Chez Zee. The boys were a little cranky at first, but then they were good. They ate their pasta and then played with a Connect 4 game they had in the restaurant.
After dinner I took the boys to Dick's Sporting Goods to get baseball stuff for Evan. We got a new batting helmet, batting gloves, purple socks for his uniform, but we couldn't find a purple belt. The coaches want the kids to have purple belt, but Dick's said they don't sell one. It might be hard to find. We'll see.
On the way home Evan told me he wanted to set his alarm for midnight and have a party. I said we couldn't do that, but if the boys were good they could both sleep in Evan's room. They seemed excited by that. They are in Evan's room now and so far, so good.

Hanukkah at Central Market
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel and I slept in until around 10. The boys played well in the game room, though Noah did come in several times to talk to Rachel.
Rachel met her friend Melissa for lunch at 11am at the Omelettry. We had never eaten there. She said it was pretty good.
Meanwhile, I gave the boys lunch. They behaved fairly well for me.
Close to 1pm I met Rachel at Central Market. They had advertised they were having a Hanukkah celebration with face painting, arts and crafts, music, dreidel games, etc... When we got there, one hour after the scheduled start, there was barely anything going on. There was a band playing with a large Menorah behind them but not one was watching them. We let the boys play on the playground for a while and finally we saw a lady setting up an arts and crafts table. The boys made a dreidel and a menorah. Eventually some girls from some dance team performed and then another band and choir played. They said there was no face painting and the dreidel games amounted to each child getting a dreidel and two pieces of chocolate gelt. All in all it was pretty lame and pretty disappointing.
We came home and the boys rested for awhile.
For dinner I made oven-baked fried chicken.
We gave the kids baths and they are in bed now.
Until next time...

Up North
I spend a lot of time in north Austin today.
I met Melissa for yogurt around noon and then around 1 I went to a baby shower for Lisa. Barry and Lisa have a new baby, Justine. They had a shower there today.
While I was gone Morry took the boys to the park and then to HEB for Icees.
I got home in the middle of the afternoon. The boys were playing outside.
For dinner we went up north to Manny's Uptown Kitchen for some deli food. Evan ate really well. He finished all of this pancakes and had some pickles. Noah ate some of his hotdog.
When we got home Noah was being very bad. He wouldn't get his shoes and socks out of the car and then threw a fit when we made him go right to bed. He's still having a tantrum now.

Hello Shmoah
This morning I met Melissa for breakfast at Magnolia Café and then we walked around the lake. While I was out Morry, Marilyn, and the boys went to Walmart and McDonalds for lunch. Evan and Noah came back with a lot of Star Wars toys.
Noah wouldn’t nap today, like usual.
For dinner we went to 24 Diner and both boys were really cranky. Noah was especially bad. Ever since then the rest of the night Noah has been terrible. When we got home he was fighting everything. He didn’t want to brush his teeth or get dressed. He was banging his door against the wall. He’s a stubborn little kid.
Morry somehow finally got Noah calmed down. The boys are in bed now, but not asleep yet.

Haircuts, Date Lunch, and Salt Lick
This morning I went running with the other moms. We ran about 5 ½ miles.
When I got back home we took the boys to get hair cuts at Great Clips. Then, we came home and around 12 Gabby came over. We asked her to come around lunch time so Morry and I could have a nice, quiet lunch together.
Morry and I went to Satellite Bistro and then went to a tea shop downtown.
When we got home we put Noah down for a nap and he actually slept.
Around 4:30 Robbie and Melissa came over. Robbie is town to take a board exam. We hung out here for a little bit and then we all went to dinner at Salt Lick. Since we got there early we didn’t have to wait for a table. Evan and Noah did pretty well. The food was good.
When we got home we gave the boys baths and put them bed.

Boating
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today is a pretty significant day. A year ago today Rachel was diagnosed with cancer. It's been a pretty tough year, but the year is over now and Rachel is doing amazing. She started the morning with a 8.27 mile run. Each week she seems to be adding a mile to her run. It's really impressive.
Since today is a significant day, we thought we'd something a bit special. One of the daily deal sites called LivingSocial was having a deal on a 2-hour boat rental. So we decided to get that deal. We drove out to the lake and rented a ski boat. We toyed with the idea of bringing Lizzy but we knew if we anchored somewhere, she'd want to swim and we weren't sure how we'd get her back in the boat.
When we got in the boat and we put Noah's life jacket on, he began to throw a fit. He didn't want a life jacket on. It wasn't only our just our rule, it was the rule of Just For Fun where we rented the boat. His fit lasted for about 30 minutes. While I was driving the boat, he was rolling around on the floor.
We found a good spot to anchor and we had lunch that we brought. Noah's mood improved as he ate his lunch. Then we all went swimming off the back of the boat. Evan really enjoyed swimming. Noah seemed to like it too.
On the way back to Just For Fun, Noah threw another fit. I think it was because he didn't want to leave the lake. I'm not quite sure.
We drove home and put Noah down for a nap.
For dinner, we went to the Hill Country Pasta House. Rachel's friend, Melissa, was having a birthday party at her house starting at 7pm, so we decided to go out that way, grab some dinner and go to Melissa's. The boys were really well behaved tonight. They both ate well at dinner. Then at Melissa's they were really showing off for everyone. They seemed to enjoy themselves.
We came home and the boys are in bed now.
Now we'll begin year two of Rachel's survival.

A Whole Lotta Nothing
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Rachel got up with the boys and took them downstairs. I got to sleep in. It was the first time in a while that had happened and it was nice.
When I got up, we decided to go to the park. We just went over the park near the Wildflower Center. Evan went on the swings for awhile and then Evan and Noah played together. It was really hot out. The boys came over to us to tell us they wanted to go.
For lunch, Rachel made red eggs and ham. The boys both ate pretty well.
We put Noah down for a nap and Rachel took a nap as well. Evan played Wii for a while and I ended up playing with him too. He basically played Wii during the entirety of Noah's nap.
Before Noah got up, Rachel met her friend Melissa for coffee. It had been a while since she had seen Melissa.
I made spaghetti for dinner when Rachel got home. It was a fairly uneventful dinner.
We gave the kids baths and they are now in their rooms.

Sunday at Home
This morning I slept in while Morry took care of the boys. I’ve been extremely tired lately. I think having this cold makes things worse. My cold is getting better, but I still have a little bit of a headache and then I still have the issue with my hands as well.
The Steelers game was on at noon. Evan and Noah watched some of it with Morry and then we put them down for naps.
We met Melissa and Mike for dinner at BJs. On the way there Evan said he wanted a pizza with olives. We ordered that for him, but then he only wanted to eat Morry’s plain pizza. Morry ended up picking off the olives of Evan pizza and then Evan ate a slice of his own pizza. Noah ate a lot of Mike’s French fries.
We just put Evan and Noah to bed. I just had to go upstairs to help Evan wipe. Hopefully, he stays in bed now. We’ll see.

Lots of Stuff
This morning Gabby came over. At 11am Michael helped me put the kids in the car and I took Evan and Noah to playgroup. We were only there for a little bit since I needed to be home at 12.
We got home at 12. Blanca helped me get the boys out of the car and then I left to get my hair cut (just a bang trim).
After my hair cut I met Melissa for coffee at Barnes and Noble and then came home.
While I was at coffee I talked to Dr. Harker-Murray (the Dallas oncologist). I wanted to know why she thought the TC treatment she suggested was better than the ACT treatment Dr. Patt (the Austin oncologist) suggested. She said the TC has been proven better than just the AC, but the TC has not yet been compared to the ACandT. The AC treatment is more aggressive and comes with more possible serious side effects which include an increase in leukemia and heat toxicity. Dr. Harker-Murray and Eddie both think I do not need the ACT combination, especially since it has the added side effects. So, I’m going to talk to Dr. Patt again and see why she thinks the ACT is better and if she would consider doing the TC treatment with me.
When I got home from coffee I spent a lot of the afternoon on the phone again deal with medical issues and appointments.
For dinner, Evan said he wanted pizza so we went to California Pizza Kitchen. The food was good, but the service was slow. Evan ended up only eating 4 bites of pizza, one bite from each slice.
At home, we gave the boys baths. They are now playing in Noah’s room and not going to sleep.

Non-Stop Day
The boys slept well last night, once they actually fell asleep. Evan woke up around 7:45am (late for him). I think it was actually Noah that woke him up. I heard Noah screaming with excitement. I think Noah was excited to wake up and see Evan in his room.
We went grocery shopping at Newflower. Evan and Noah were really good and enjoyed their free sugar cookie at the end of our shopping.
When we got home Yenis and Kevin came over for just a little bit. It was about 11:30 and Blanca was coming at 12. A little before 12, Evan came up to me and told me he pooped. He had pooped in his underwear while playing with Kevin. I had to send them home so I could try and get him cleaned up. It was a mess and I decided just to put him in the shower downstairs. I got the water started, but had not put Evan in the shower yet when Blanca came over. I had Blanca give Evan a quick shower while I got ready to leave to house.
I met Melissa for lunch and tutored.
Blanca had to leave at 4pm, but Morry wasn’t going to be home until 6pm. Luckily Riley was available. She came and babysat from 4-6pm. It worked out well and Noah didn’t cry while she was here.
For dinner Morry had steak, I had salmon, and Evan had shrimp. Noah ate some tortilla and cantaloupe.
We gave the boys baths and now they are both in bed in Noah’s room. They are still playing in there. Hopefully, they go to sleep soon.

First Day of School
This morning Morry came with us to drop Evan off at school. He seemed fine and didn’t seemed bothered when we left.
Noah and I just hung out at home this morning.
When we went to pick Evan up at school Noah ran over to him and gave him a hug. Then, first thing Evan said was, “Where’s Daddy?”. Evan was not happy to see me. He just wanted Daddy.
When we got home I put the boys down for naps. Blanca came at 2:30. I met Melissa for coffee at Barnes and Noble and then I tutored 4 students.
Morry took care of Evan and Noah tonight.
I got home at about 8:30. Noah was in bed, but Morry was still working on getting Evan asleep.
It’s now 9:32 and Evan is still not sleeping. He’s downstairs while I’m writing the blog.
If anyone has good sleep advice for a 3 year-old we’d love to hear it.

Lunch with Morry
Today was a busy day. Of course, Evan got up early. Once Noah got up we went over to HEB for a quick shopping trip.
Shortly after we got home Yenis and Kevin came over. They stayed until 12, when Blanca got here.
Then, I met Morry for lunch. We went to Phil’s Icehouse.
This afternoon I met Melissa at Scooter’s Coffeehouse. I had a coupon for a free smoothie drink, so we both got free drinks.
When I got home Evan was just getting up from a 2 hour nap. Noah slept a little while longer.
For dinner we had leftover cornbread casserole.
I decided I would try running after dinner. I got dressed and was about to go outside, but realized it was raining. I waited about 15 minutes and it cleared up, so I took Lizzy for a 2 mile run.
When I got back we got Evan and Noah ready for bed. Noah is in bed and quiet. Evan is still fighting sleep.

A little more relaxing
Evan woke up early again, but at least he wasn’t crying. A little after 7am I heard knocking on the wall.
Blanca came at 10am. I ran some errands, met Melissa for lunch, and got a massage. Morry gave me a gift certificate for Mother’s Day for a massage. I finally used it today and I’m so glad I went. It was great! Now, I want to go back.
When I got home a little after 3:00, Noah was napping but Evan was still awake in his room. After awhile I was able to get Evan to nap, but Noah woke up pretty shortly after that.
For dinner we had hamburgers.
While we were cleaning up Evan played wii baseball. He’s really getting good. He got 16 out of 30 hits!
After dinner we all went to Target. We didn’t get home until after 9pm. They were doing some road work and we had to take a long way home to get around it.
It’s 10:00 now and we just finished getting the boys to bed.
