Getting Ready

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The theme for today seems to be getting ready.  This morning, I drove down to San Marcos for a meeting with Kissing Tree to review Grandmom's new house as they are getting ready to put up the sheet rock.  We walked the house.  It looks nice.

I came home and Rachel got home shortly after.  She quickly turned around to go get Noah from school.  He had an appointment with an ENT to look at his nose and airways to make sure that everything looked good and there is nothing that would inhibit his sleep. He is in good shape there.

Rachel came back home and rested for a bit before leaving for tutoring.

The boys stayed at school because they had play rehearsals.  They are getting ready to for opening night next Thursday.  Tomorrow they'll be at school even longer as the rehearsals are getting more intense.

When I got home, I heated up some chicken from last night and made some pasta to go with it while Rachel was getting ready for her trip.  She was packing and trying on clothes.

Evan is doing homework now while Rachel is continuing to get ready.  I think Noah is playing on the Playstation.

Until next time...

Shopping

This morning we took it easy.  We ate brunch at home.  Noah and I had omelets.  Evan had scrambled eggs.  Morry had garlic bread.

Early afternoon we left for the outlets in San Marcos.  

It was a long afternoon.   We bought shoes for all of us, socks for the boys and Morry, some clothes.  The deals weren't as good as last year, but we still did pretty well.

The boys convinced us to go to Cracker Barrel for dinner.  It was convenient, so we gave in.  They ate very well.  The both had fried shrimp, broccoli, and apples.

Now the boys should be getting ready for bed.  They just had tea and dessert.

Birthday and Shopping

Yesterday was my birthday.  I had a nice day.  The kids were in camp for most of the day.

For brunch Morry and I went to Snooze AM.  We both had very good pancakes.

For dinner Morry, the kids, and I went to the Melting Pot. We had a good time there and the kids ate really well.

Today, we took it easy in the morning.  Evan and I walked to the school and he played on the basketball court for a little bit.

In the afternoon we went to a Taco Cabana opening party in Kyle, Texas.  I got invited as a blogger to come to the party.  We got our meal comped, in exchanged for me writing about the event and new restaurant location.  It was surprisingly good.  We went in with low expectations and were pleasantly surprised. We all liked our food.

From there, we went to the outlet malls in San Marcos.  We did pretty well there.  We got some good deals and bought things for all of us there.

We got home around 10pm.

The kids are getting ready for bed now.

Here are some pictures from yesterday and today.

Season Over

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was 34 degrees this morning when Evan and I left the house.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way to San Marcos.  The temperature was a balmy 39 degrees when we got to the fields.  By game time, it felt warmer.  I'd guess it was mid-high 40's.  The team struggled defensively again.  Evan ended up playing shortstop for quite a bit during the game.  He did well.  Evan also doubled to the game in right-center.  He pitched to the last two batters of the game before the game was called as it hit the time limit.  The Bucs season came to a close.  Evan should be proud.  He really grew as a fielder and a pitcher this season and his swing definitely improved.

On the way home, we stopped at Popeye's for lunch.

When Noah got up he texted Grandma and he walked over to their house.  Papa met Noah half way.  I dropped Evan off there after Popeye's.  Rachel joined them over there for lunch.

Rachel and Evan came home after not a real long time there.  Noah insisted on staying.

Evan and I watched football and then played some football.

Noah ate over at Grandma and Papa's as well.  We had leftovers here.

We just walked to get Noah but met them half way (kind of by accident).  The boys are having dessert now and should go to bed soon.

Until next time...

Blowing in the Wind

This morning we took it easy.

I went to a fundraiser garage sale.  Morry and Evan left for baseball around noon.

Noah and I met everyone at Grandma and Papa's house at 1:15 and we all drove out to see Evan's baseball game in San Marcos.  It was extremely windy and colder than usual.  Evan's team didn't play so well.

We went back home after the first game.

When Evan and Morry got back we all ate dinner at Grandma and Papa's house.  Michael and Jen made spaghetti and shrimp for us.

We are home now and the kids are getting ready for bed.  Evan has an early baseball game tomorrow in San Marcos again.

End of Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan's last baseball tournament started today.  We were playing down in San Marcos.  I woke up at 9am and Evan was already up.  The boys were watching Back to the Future III.  We got ready and left.  On the way down we stopped at Donut Taco Palace.

It was sunny when we got there and very hot.  The air was very stagnant and humid but we were glad to not have clouds.  The team warmed up and then we went to the field we'd be playing on.  The game before us was running very late.  Rachel and Noah got there while we were watching the previous game.

The Bucs played very well.  Evan walked in his first at bat and stole second but was stranded at second.  We took a 4 run lead into the top of the 4th.  We brought Evan in to close out the game.  He got the first batter to pop up on the first pitch.  Evan got ahead of the second batter but the boy started to foul off some pitches and ended up walking.  The same thing happened with the third batter.  Runners were on first and third for fourth batter and Evan seemed like he had had enough playing around.  He quickly struck out the fourth batter then got a soft grounder from the next batter to end the game.

Just after the game ended we started seeing a lot of lightning.  They postponed the game for 30 minutes.  We went into the snack bar and waited.  But it just kept getting darker and darker so we went to the car.  Just as we got to the car the skies opened up and it just started to pour.  They cancelled all the days games so Evan and I drove back home.  Rachel and Noah had left at the conclusion of the first game.

We had leftovers for dinner.  When dinner ended I got word that San Marcos had gotten a ton of rain and the entire tournament was cancelled.  So unfortunately, our season came to an end today.  But Evan did well and I think he was glad he got on the mound today.

We went to Dairy Queen for a celebratory dessert.  While we were there I got a text from the father of a boy on Evan's team.  They wanted to know if Evan could sleep over tonight.  So when we got home, I drove Evan over and dropped him off.

We're going to have a team lunch tomorrow and that will be it until August.

Until next time...

Busy Weekend

This weekend was busy.  

It was Ben's Bar Mitzvah, Evan's baseball tournament, and Aunt Susan's graduation.

Marilyn came into town Friday night.  We woke up early for the Bar Mitzvah on Saturday.  We had lunch afterward at the synagogue. 

Morry and Evan headed to San Marcos for Evan's baseball tournament.  Marilyn, Noah, and I went home for a little while.  Noah and I left to go to a different part of San Marcos to celebrate Aunt Susan's PhD graduation.  A lot of the family gathered to surprise Aunt Susan.   We had a nice early dinner at Salt Grass.

From San Marcos we all drove to North Austin to Matt and Rachael's house for a little Bar Mitzvah party.

Grandma and Papa came to our house to spend the night before heading back to Dallas.

This morning Morry, Evan, Noah, and Marilyn went back out to San Marcos for day 2 of the tournament.  Evan's team lost the first game and were eliminated.

We took it easy later in the day. 

For dinner Morry picked up food from Saps.

The boys just had showers and now they will watch some of the Steelers game before they go to bed.

Here are a couple of pictures.

San Marcos Shopping

Evan, Noah, and I went to San Marcos to the Outlets today. We were looking for pajamas, shorts, and socks for the boys. We got a few things, but the deals weren't so good today for some reason.

I packed a lunch thinking we might be able to have a picnic somewhere. We were running out of time and the weather wasn't so great. It was overcast and a little bit cool. So, we just ate our lunch in the car on the way home.

When we got home I started getting dinner ready.

I tutored one student and then came home.

We had meatballs and rice for dinner.

After dinner Morry went to the Volkswagen car dealership in Georgetown. He wanted to negotiate a deal in person. It sounds like he worked something out to lease a CC. He's on his way home now and the car will come in in a few days.

The boys are ready for bed and are supposed to be in their rooms, but they keep coming up with excuses.
