Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning the boys set their alarms again. Noah was a bit cranky but all-in-all it was a fairly easy morning. We drove to school as it was only 48 degrees.
In the afternoon, we walked to get the boys. By that time it got warm. It appears the ice cream truck is no more. Some fuddy duddy (I have other choice terms for the person) decided to complain that the ice cream truck did not have the proper permits to be stopped where they were and selling food and called the city. Seriously, do people not have anything better to do with their time than ruin some stuff for kids? So we just brought the normal popsicles today.
Noah had practice today. We worked on some drills. Then I ran two exercises where the winner got a prize. They had to field the ball and throw and hit a bucket. They got one point for fielding the ball, one point for hitting the bucket if the ball hit the ground first and 3 points for hitting the bucket in the air. Then we had the boys race to first base. I want to teach them that they will run faster running through the bag. This is one of the biggest issues I see when kids move up from tee ball to coach pitch. They still just want to run and stop on first base. It's amazing how many times a kid will be out because they slowed down too soon. It makes a huge difference. Especially since at this point the bases are fairly close together so it doesn't give the fielder as much time to make the out. But if the kid slows down, they are giving the advantage back to the fielder.
We stopped at Wendy's on the way home.
The boys are in bed and asleep now.
Until next time...

Busy Day Ending With Baseball
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was a tough morning. Noah was overtired and gave us some issues.
It rained this morning so it was a bit miserable. I had to run out for a bit and traffic was very tough.
Rachel got her hair cut today so I picked the boys up by myself. The ice cream truck was there so the boys got popsicles on the way home.
They did their homework when they got home and then we left for Evan's game. We had dinner at Wendy's on the way out. Rachel had to tutor.
Unfortunately, Evan's team lost. They played well to start the game but ended up struggling at the end. Evan, who has been really hitting the ball well, didn't hit the ball well his first two times up. He grounded out to second base to start the game. He did play well in the field, fielding two balls at shortstop and stepping on second. He also made a nice back handed catch on a short hop on a throw from right field. He quickly turned around and tagged the boy trying to stretch a single into a double. In his third time at bat he finally hit one hard. It hung in the air just a bit long and it actually got caught in deep center. Evan was very upset by that, but really there's not much you can do. The boy (one of Evan's friends) made a very nice catch. Evan has been upset about the game since we got home.
Noah is asleep but Evan is still up.

Noah is 6!!
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was very easy to get Noah up this morning. He was so excited it was his birthday. He was born at 7:16am. As we drove to school, it turned 7:16am and we all cheered.
For Noah's lunch, Rachel and I went into school and sat with him while he ate lunch and we gave out cupcakes to his classmates. Noah really seemed to enjoy having us there.
We walked to pick the boys up from school. We noticed in the parking lot of the Circle C Community Center, an ice cream truck was waiting. We allowed the boys to get a popsicle from the truck.
At 4:30, Noah and I left for his game. Noah had a good warm up. He was hitting the ball well. It translated into another good game. In the second inning he fielded a ball at shortstop and tagged second to get a boy out (which we have pictures of below). In the third inning, as pitcher, he fielded a ball and saw the boy running to first was going slow so he ran over and tagged the boy. He also got two hits and scored two runs.
After the game, we went to Logan's for dinner. That's where Noah wanted to go. Noah got steak.
We came home and we're about to put the boys to bed.

Sports Class
This morning we had a guy come by to fix out outdoor lighting.
It was a overcast and little bit drizzly at times, so the boys and I just stayed home this morning.
We all went to Noah's sports class. They did baseball again today and Noah had fun. Evan watched some and played Angry Birds on my phone.
We stayed at home this afternoon and they boys played a lot of wii. Well, Evan plays and Noah watches.
For dinner we had barbecue chicken and couscous.
The boys just had Popsicles for dessert.

Sports Saturday
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning I set the alarm because Evan had a baseball game. It was also our turn to bring snacks for after the game. We decided to bring Gatorade, popsicles and chips. I needed to run to HEB to get ice for the cooler so we could bring the snacks.
When I got up, Evan was in the game room watching TV. We went downstairs and I got some breakfast together for him. Later, Papa cut up fruit for Evan which made him happy.
At the game, Evan did well hitting the ball. He had two solid hits, both to the right side. However, he was not running very fast. I think he does better in afternoon games.
Evan was very excited about the snacks after the game and happy that there were extra for Noah.
After the game, we went back to the house and had lunch. Rachel, Grandma and Bubbe had to go to a baby shower for Lauren. While they did that, Papa and I took Evan and Noah to the driving range.
Evan really improved both from the last time he was hitting as well as during the course of the time we were there. He discovered how to really get do a back swing and his last two swings were really good and he hit the ball far. Noah enjoyed hitting the golf balls but he really enjoyed hitting the balls when we went on the putting green.
Papa and I took the boys after that to Smoothie King.
When we got home, the boys who were acting tired, went right back outside where they had spent almost the entire day. They played some golf in the backyard, they played football, played baseball and went on the swings. It was unbelievable to me that they had any energy.
When Rachel got home, we left because it was our date night. We went to the Melting Pot in North Austin. Before we went out, we stopped at Matt and Rachael's because it was Tristian's 15th birthday.
Grandma and Papa took Evan and Noah to Waterloo. Evan had a jelly sandwich and Noah had mini corn dogs. They both ate a ton of fruit there.
Apparently they went to sleep fairly easily after Papa and Grandma scrubbed them down in the bath.

Barbecue and Strawberries
This morning we took a little day road trip. Our first stop was Coopers Barbecue in Llano. We met Matt's family there. Everyone enjoyed the food. That's Morry's happy place. He said it's the best barbecue he has ever had. He looks forward to it every time.
After Coopers we went to Marble Falls to Sweet Berry Farms. Right now they have strawberry picking. The kids had fun picking (and eating) strawberries. We sat down in the shade and had strawberry ice cream and strawberry popsicles.
Most of the restaurants near us are closed today so we just made pasta for dinner.
We just got the boys ready for bed. Noah is not being good right now. He wouldn't help clean up and now he's throwing a fit in his room.

Evan's School Party
This morning I dropped the boys off without any problems.
I went out to Cedar Park (the other side of Austin) to get a spray tan. A woman was offering her services for all of the women in the Art Bra show on Saturday. That was my first time getting spray tan. I look like I just came back from a beach vacation.
After that, I went to the airport to pick up Grandmom/Marilyn. We went straight to school since Evan was having a party at school. At the end the kids did an egg hunt.
After school we went to lunch at Panera since Marilyn/Grandmom and I had not yet eaten. The boys shared a muffin there.
Evan had another game tonight. He was really tired and cranky when we got there, but once we gave him a popsicle and Poweraid he did a lot better and got an energy burst.
For dinner we ate a Kerbey Lane.
We just got the boys ready for bed. Morry is reading to Evan now.

Jim's for Breakfast
With all the wildfires in West Texas they are advising people to stay indoors if possible here. Normally on a nice day like this we would do something outside, but we tried to find something indoors to do.
We decided to take the boys out to breakfast. We ended up at Jim's. We wanted to go somewhere where the boys could get pancakes or waffles. It worked out well. The boys were good and ate their strawberry pancake.
After eating we went across the parking lot to Goodwill. I needed to find some clothes and accessories to go with the art bra I'll be wearing in the fashion show. I bought a few things.
We dropped of Morry and Evan at home and Noah and I went to HEB.
When we got home Noah took a nap at his gate after throwing a fit there.
For dinner Morry had steak and the boys and I had crab.
While I was getting stuff ready for Passover Morry and the boys went upstairs to clean up. Both of their rooms and the game room were a disaster.
The boys are having dessert now (push up popsicles) and then we'll put them to bed.

Baseball, Lake, and a Movie
This morning Evan had a t-ball game. Morry and Evan left the house around 8am this morning. They had a good game, but lost. Evan had a good time.
When Morry and Evan got home we all went to the lake and walked the 3 mile trail. We stopped at one point the let Lizzy swim and fetch the ball.
At home we quickly got lunch ready and then I tutored here at the house.
Morry volunteered to help with the concession stand at the baseball field. The concession stand is run by volunteers from each team. This week was our teams turn, so they asked a few parents to help out. Morry's time slot was 1:50 -3:30.
While Morry was gone I tried to get Noah to nap, but was unsuccessful.
The boys and I filled the pinata for the party and then I gave Lizzy a haircut on the upstairs porch.
A little before 6pm we dropped Evan and Noah off at Clubhouse for Kids so Morry and I could see a movie. We saw Cedar Rapids at the Alamo Drafthouse. Evan and Noah got pizza for dinner at the Clubhouse and they said they had a good time.
We just got home. The boys are having dessert (Popsicles and grapes) and then we'll put them to bed.

DirecTV finally got it right
This morning the boys slept somewhat late. They must have been worn out from last night. Oh, and Morry made it back safely from Dallas. He got in about 2:40am and said they had a good time at the baseball game.
We were supposed to have playgroup today, but it got cancelled.
Instead, I took Evan and Noah to Barnes and Noble. I was going to take them to the park or the Wildflower Center, but they both preferred to go to the bookstore.
As we were leaving Barnes and Noble I let Evan and Noah pick out a cookie to share. Of course they chose a sugar cookie with sprinkles on top.
When we got home I got lunch ready and then received the call from DirecTv that the guy was on his way.
I had little hope and didn’t want to get too excited about getting a new setup, but everything went as planned. We now have a whole home system where we can watch one thing and tape another. We just have one DVR but can access it from all TVs in the house.
While the system was being set up I gave Evan and Noah haircuts on the upstairs patio.
Once the guy left I put Noah down for a nap.
For dinner we went to Red Robin. Evan and Noah both ate well and were well behaved. It was a successful dinner.
We got home just a little bit ago. Evan just had sherbet and Noah had a popsicle. Now, we are going to put them to bed.

Playgroup at Our House
Yesterday no one had signed up for playgroup so I volunteered. I didn’t have time to go shopping, so I wanted to make something with stuff I already had in the house. I cut up some fruit and made a coffee cake.
We had 3 other kids over.
One of the moms wasn’t feeling well, so after playgroup I offered to watch her daughter for a little bit so she could go home and rest. Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with Avery. She was really easy and calm compared to the boys. They all ate lunch together at the red table. Avery wanted blue eggs and ham and Evan and Noah wanted red. So, I made 2 separate batches. After they ate lunch they had a popsicle.
Avery stayed until about 1:30. After she left I put Noah down for a nap.
A little while later Grandma and Papa got here. Papa/Lenny has his fraternity reunion this weekend so they came in for that.
For dinner, just Morry, Evan, Noah, and I went to Johnny Carinos.
After dinner we went to HEB to pick up a few things. While Morry put the groceries away I gave Evan and Noah a shower. The boys are in bed now, but Noah is still talking.

Dog Park
This morning Evan slept until about 8:45 and Noah slept until almost 11am. I was so glad they both slept well.
This morning I took Evan, Noah, and Lizzy to the dog park. I was trying to think of something fun that all of them would enjoy. I packed up some food for us to eat there. It had been a while since we were at the dog park. Lizzy definitely remembered it. As soon as we got to the parking lot she started whining.
We walked around the park. Evan and I threw the ball to Lizzy in the water. We stopped at one point and sat on a bench to eat snacks.
On the way home the boys ate more snacks and then at home they had popsicles.
Evan and Noah both took naps this afternoon, but at different times. I put them both down around 1:30. Noah went to sleep right away. Evan played in his room and was making noise. Finally, around 3:30 Evan had fallen asleep at his gate. I was about to take a nap when Noah woke up and started making noise.
We went to Abuelo’s for dinner. We had a coupon. If you sign up for the Abuelo's email list, you'll get a coupon for a free entree (when you buy another entree and 2 drinks). Evan and Noah were very good at the restaurant.
We just gave the boys baths and put them to bed. Let’s hope they sleep well tonight.

Playgroup at the Pool
Evan slept until about 7:20am this morning.
We met playgroup at the pool this morning. I thought it would be tough watching both Evan and Noah, but it wasn’t too bad. They stayed in the baby pool area. Around noon it cleared out at the pool and that was a lot better. We had snacks. Evan had a popsicle.
For lunch I made the boys and me smoothie. Since they had a lot of snacks at the pool they didn’t want anything else to eat for lunch.
Noah took a nap, but Evan did not.
While they were napping (or supposed to be napping) I tried the EA Sports Active wii game for the first time (thanks Mom, Dad, and Grandma). I had to wait until today since I wasn’t supposed to do any exercise for a few days after having my toenail procedure. I just did a little of the game, but so far it seems good.
For dinner, we went to ZPizza downtown. We had a coupon, of course, from Restaurant.com. I got a $25 gift certificate there for only $4. We had a big meal and have leftovers tomorrow all for $10 total.
We just gave Evan and Noah baths and they are in bed now. We are going to try leaving Evan’s gate open tonight so he can go to the bathroom on his own if he wakes up in the night. We’ll see how it goes.
So, I just went to check on him and Evan was in the hallway lying down. I just put him back to bed.

Sherah’s Family
This morning Aunt Susan, Sherah, JW, Nolan, Court, Lauren, and Presley (the girl that Lauren nannies for) came over. I made cranberry blueberry oatmeal muffins. Evan and Noah ate a ton of them. The kids all played really well together. Evan and Nolan played upstairs in the game room. For lunch I picked up Little Caesar’s pizza. Of course I had coupons. All of us ate for a total of $11.something.
After lunch we called Bubbe on Skype and then we all went in the backyard for a little while. It was hot out, but the kids didn’t seem to mind. We took a Popsicle break. Noah had his own Popsicle for the first time. He did great and ate the whole thing.
Sherah’s family went back to Aunt Susan’s for naps.
I put Evan and Noah down for naps, but only Noah napped.
For dinner we met Sherah, JW, Nolan, and Court at Red Robin. We had to wait a while for a table that could accommodate us. Luckily there were lots of things to keep the boys occupied. In the front of the restaurant were video games and candy/toy machines. Even though we didn’t give the boys any change they had a good time playing with all the stuff.
Dinner was good. And what made it even better? Morry, Evan, and I ate for free! All we had to pay for was our drinks. Morry and I each had coupons for free burgers for our birthdays and Red Robin is also having a promotion where kids eat for free. Good deal!
Evan and Noah are in bed now. It seems to be quiet.

Pool Day and Lunch with Morry
Evan woke up before 7:30am crying for Daddy. Noah got up around the same time.
For breakfast, Evan requested Blue eggs and ham. Evan and Noah ate together at the red table.
This morning I gave Evan a list of a few things we could do and he chose to go to the pool.
We have a nice neighborhood pool with a kids area. It was pretty crowded and there weren’t any chairs left so we had to put our stuff on the ground. Evan and Noah had a great time playing in the baby pool. Noah tried to wander some, but it wasn’t too hard with the two kids. We took a break and got a popsicle for Evan. He shared a little with Noah. I also brought some snacks with us.
We came home, got changed and then went to meet Morry for lunch. We ate at Zuzu, right across the street from Morry’s office. Evan and Noah didn’t eat that well there.
We got a call from the vet. They got the test results back. Good news! Mottel does not have cancer, but he does have some inflammation. The vet wants to put him on steroids for a short time period and hope that does the trick. We had to pick up his medicine at HEB on the way home. They didn’t have enough, but were able to give us enough medication until Monday.
I put the boys down for naps. Evan did not sleep at all. Noah only slept a little.
For dinner we went to Fish City Grill at the Galleria (outdoor mall). We had a $5 off coupon. Evan asked for shrimp and ate very well there. We were able to sit outside on the patio. It was warm, but not too hot.
After dinner we walked around the Galleria, listened to music, and let the boys run around some.
We just gave Evan and Noah baths and put them to bed.

Whew, long day
Evan and Noah woke up early this morning. They started making noise around the time Morry left for work.
I started the laundry, got the boys dressed and fed, and finished getting Evan’s school stuff together.
After dropping Evan off at school I went to HEB. I had a lot of stuff to buy and was there a while. Noah was pretty good in the shopping cart. He just got fussy at the end. At one point we passed some samples. I let Noah have a few bites of chocolate cupcake. Somehow he managed to get just those few small bites everywhere. He had chocolate on his chin, a glob of icing on his sock.
Noah fell asleep on the way home. I put him down for a nap. I quickly put the groceries away, straightened up the house downstairs, and got dinner ready. I made another crock pot dish – Crock Pot Turkey. It was really good and juicy.
Yenis came over for lunch at 12:00. By the time we ate and I fed Noah it was time to get Evan. I was sort of in a hurry because I needed to be back at home by 1:30 for tutoring. I had planned on picking Evan up right at 1:15, but got there a few minutes late. When I walked in Wendy was changing Evan’s diaper so we weren’t able to leave right away. Then, Evan wanted to take his artwork home. They had painted cutouts of cars. I asked Wendy if we could take Evan’s home. She said that was fine, since she already had one for his folder. He made about 6 of them! I guess they figured out how to get Evan to do art. When we were pulling out of the parking lot we had to wait forever to get out. It seemed like everyone was leaving at the same time.
We got home about two minutes late and I quickly cleared off the dishes on the table for tutoring. I tutored the homeschool Algebra II student from 1:30 – 3:00. He took his online final exam with me and made a 100. He didn’t end up leaving until about 3:30 since we had to wait for his mom to pick him up.
While the boys were napping I did more laundry and cleaned.
For dinner, Evan and Noah didn’t eat much. Evan had a few veggie sticks and fruit and a Popsicle. Not real healthy. I think Evan’s throat may still be bothering him. He still sounds hoarse.
The boys are playing as I’m writing the blog. In a few minutes we’ll get them ready for bed.
I started the laundry, got the boys dressed and fed, and finished getting Evan’s school stuff together.
After dropping Evan off at school I went to HEB. I had a lot of stuff to buy and was there a while. Noah was pretty good in the shopping cart. He just got fussy at the end. At one point we passed some samples. I let Noah have a few bites of chocolate cupcake. Somehow he managed to get just those few small bites everywhere. He had chocolate on his chin, a glob of icing on his sock.
Noah fell asleep on the way home. I put him down for a nap. I quickly put the groceries away, straightened up the house downstairs, and got dinner ready. I made another crock pot dish – Crock Pot Turkey. It was really good and juicy.
Yenis came over for lunch at 12:00. By the time we ate and I fed Noah it was time to get Evan. I was sort of in a hurry because I needed to be back at home by 1:30 for tutoring. I had planned on picking Evan up right at 1:15, but got there a few minutes late. When I walked in Wendy was changing Evan’s diaper so we weren’t able to leave right away. Then, Evan wanted to take his artwork home. They had painted cutouts of cars. I asked Wendy if we could take Evan’s home. She said that was fine, since she already had one for his folder. He made about 6 of them! I guess they figured out how to get Evan to do art. When we were pulling out of the parking lot we had to wait forever to get out. It seemed like everyone was leaving at the same time.
We got home about two minutes late and I quickly cleared off the dishes on the table for tutoring. I tutored the homeschool Algebra II student from 1:30 – 3:00. He took his online final exam with me and made a 100. He didn’t end up leaving until about 3:30 since we had to wait for his mom to pick him up.

Playgroup day
Today we went to playgroup. It’s been a while since we’ve gone. Playgroup was at Marissa’s house (in Evan’s class at school). Their house is pretty close so we walked. Well, I walked and the boys rode in the stroller. It was a nice time. Evan ate a ton of muffins. They had a plate of small muffins out and every time I turned around Evan was eating another one. Last time we were at Marissa’s house Evan played with one of her toy trains. He remembered and asked me where it was. I told him to ask Marissa and she said it was upstairs. Bodar, Marissa’s mom, must have heard and she offered to get it and bring it down for Evan. Both Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with the train. I put Noah down on the floor with the other kids and toys and he seemed to want to be near Evan and playing with whatever Evan was playing with.
After playgroup we went home and ate lunch. During lunch Evan said he wanted a Popsicle. After lunch we went in the backyard and I let Evan eat a Popsicle. He offered some to me and Noah. With the first few bites Noah took he made a really funny face. It must have been sour. It made Evan and I laugh and Evan wanted to give Noah more so he would make that face again.
Evan and Noah took good naps. Evan slept until about 6:30.
We went to dinner at Serranos. When we walked in the door there was a sign posted that said if you bought at $25 gift card you got an extra $5 for free. So, while we were waiting for our table I went up to the bar and bought a gift card for us to use at dinner. I wondered why more people didn’t do that. It was like getting a $5 coupon.
After dinner we went to Best Buy and then Target. At Best Buy we looked at washer/dryers. We are going to need new ones soon. Ours now are more than 10 years old. Both take forever to wash/dry. It looks like the best ones are LG and Samsung. Morry and I are trying to decide what to get each other for our Hanukkah present. It would be nice to get washer/dryers, but they are pretty expensive and not such a fun/exciting Hanukkah gift. I never thought I’d be asking for a washer/dryer for Hanukkah. We are trying to decide between that, a nice SLR camera, maybe a blue ray disc player? We’ll see.
Well, it’s late. It sounds like the boys are sleeping now. I hope they let us sleep in a little tomorrow morning.
Oh, one more thing. Evan got a kid's digital camera for Hanukkah from Marilyn. He loves it and really understands how to take pictures. He's doing well taking pictures on his own. Here are a few pictures Evan took all by himself.

I voted
Today I took the boys to early voting. We only had to wait in line about 5 to 10 minutes. I asked Evan where he wanted to go after. I gave him a choice of the park or bookstore. He chose the bookstore. He loves to go to Barnes and Noble and play with the train table. It’s nice because it gives me a chance to sit down and order a cup of coffee. Noah enjoyed sitting by the trains and playing with the toys.
Neither Evan nor Noah took a nap today. I tried, but for some reason they wouldn’t nap. I finally got Noah to sleep. He was asleep for a few minutes, but then the neighbor’s dog started barking and woke him up.
Evan, Noah, and I played in the front yard this afternoon. Evan rode his bike and we walked down to the end of the cul-de-sac to look at all the Halloween decorations. We walked back and got popsicles to eat outside. Evan loved it, of course. I gave Noah a little of mine. He kept trying to reach for more. He looked so cute with the red popsicle juice all over his lips. Morry came home while we were outside and we played a little longer.
We made pasta tonight. We needed a quick dinner since I was going to tutor. I left the house at 7 and got back a little before 9.
Noah is now 7 months old. Hard to believe.
