Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning when I got Evan up, he was in a very good mood. In fact, as we were walking down the path to school, he decided to do a "silly dance" the whole way to the school.
Noah is not going to be able to do gymnastics on Thursday so we put him in a make up sports class today. Noah had a good time at sports class.
I picked up smoothies for Rachel, Noah and me around lunch as I had to stop at the bank next to Smoothie King.
Rachel tutored this evening.
I have the name of this post as "Pirates". Most people would assume I mean the Pittsburgh Pirates. In this case, I'm talking about the little league Pirates. Both Evan and Noah's team each played the Pirates. Noah's team had a scrimmage against the tee ball Pirates and Evan had a scrimmage against the coach pitch Pirates. Both games ended in ties.
Noah's game was first. I helped warm up the kids and then I stopped and took Evan over to his field for his batting practice. I came back and helped in the dugout with Noah's team. Noah had one opportunity in the field at third base and missed it. But at the plate, Noah got three hits. He is hitting the ball much harder this season.
Then we went over to Evan's game. Evan had a big 2nd inning. He was in the pitcher's position. A kid rocketed a ground ball that somehow Evan got his glove on it. It didn't stay in his glove and he momentarily lost the ball so he didn't get the boy out, but it was a great play. In the bottom of the second, he crushed a line drive to right center which they played well holding Evan to a single. In the third inning, Evan was at third. He made a diving stop to his left to get a ball and raced to third to tag the base. He dove to try to touch the base before the kid running from second got there but just missed (He touched the base with his glove hand but was holding the ball in his bare hand. Also he could have just tagged the kid as they were running side by side to the base). The next two times at bat he hit the ball hard right at the shortstop. He got a single on one and hit into a force on the other. Generally, it was a good game all around.
We got home at 8:30 after leaving the house at 4:45. The kids are now in bed.
Until next time...

Sports Class (boys) and Hot Yoga (us)
Today, both boys went to Sports Class. They had fun. Morry met us there after he ate lunch with Dmitry.
The boys rode home with Morry and I stopped to get gas on the way home.
I gave Noah lunch when we got home. Noah ate before Sports Class, but Noah threw a little fit about not wanting lunch then, so I didn't force it.
We went to the 5:30 hot Yoga class at the gym. Evan's friend, Myles, was in the child care too. Evan was happy to see him.
We ate dinner at home. Morry had a hamburger. I had a a veggie burger. We has squash and zucchini and couscous.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Baseball Lessons
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, Noah was the first one up. Rarely is he the first one up. Evan got up a bit later. Rachel took Noah to school while Evan stayed here.
Back in April, there was a group coupon deal for a private baseball lesson at some baseball facility here in Austin. It was $29 for an hour private lesson so I bought it. I tried to get in before the end of April but it ended up being tough to schedule because Evan was still in school. I finally got around to scheduling it for today. It was very interesting. The instructor started off by showing Evan pictures of pro baseball players from as far back as Babe Ruth. The pictures were all of the players mid-swing. He pointed out that their swings, the basics of there arms, legs and upper body were the same. He then showed us video of four players and broke it down frame by frame. From there, he had Evan looking at himself in a mirror trying to mimic these swings. He then hit off a tee for a bit and finally he went in the cage and the instructor threw to him. I was worried that Evan was bored because it was slow and there was a lot of talking. But at the end of the hour, Evan said it wasn't enough time and he wanted more. He said it didn't feel like an hour.
When we got home, Rachel and Noah were coming home. Rachel had gone to Target and then picked Noah up.
I quickly ate lunch as I had a meeting at a client's location.
As part of the make up for Noah missing several sports classes on our vacation, we signed Evan up for a gymnastics class at the Little Gym. It was all older kids - Evan seemed to be the youngest and smallest. Because of that it was fast paced and very active. Evan seemed to absolutely love it. They had them running around the gym at one point and Evan tried to run fast. It was fun to watch. Noah told us he didn't want to do sports class in the fall, he wants to do gymnastics now.
We stopped at HEB on the way home and got some fruit and veggies for the week while also picking up some prepared food for dinner.
For dinner for the boys I made a pizza bagel for Evan and fish sticks for Noah. Noah insisted on getting fish sticks at HEB.
The boys are in bed now but not sleeping.
Until next time...

Sporty Day
This morning Noah woke up before Evan. That doesn't happen often.
Morry took Evan to Lego Camp.
Ana, a 13 year-old neighbor, came to babysit Noah today. Her mom told us she just a competed a babysitting/CPR class and has been babysitting a few others already. I had tutoring scheduled and Blanca and Gabby were not available. Since Morry was going to be home working we felt comfortable trying out Ana as a babysitter.
I tutored for 2 hours and then came home.
Noah seemed to really enjoy being with Ana. Morry said he could hear Noah talking a lot. Ana brought stickers for Noah.
A few minutes after getting home I took Noah to Sports Class. Morry picked up Evan and brought him to meet us at Sports Class. We have a lot of makeup classes to schedule so they said we could use some of them on Evan. Evan joined Noah's class today and they both had fun. Of course, Evan was the best and biggest one in there. The teachers kept using him as an example.
From there, we had an appointment with Noah's therapist. She saw both Evan and Noah this time. She said it would be good to see them together a few times.
Then, we got home and Jack came over with his nanny. Noah, Evan, and I went with them to ride bikes in the cul-de-sac.
We went to the gym for a 5:30 hot Yoga class. The kids ran around and played more sports in the child care while we did Yoga.
At home, we made grilled chicken, baked kale, and leftover pasta for dinner.
Morry is reading to the boys now.

25 Meters
This morning I went for a run. The boys didn't want to come with me, so they stayed at home with Morry.
We had lunch and then went to the Little Gym for Noah's sports class.
After, we went to the gym to go swimming. First, the boys swam inside. When we went outside I asked Evan if he wanted to take the swim test. At the gym, they have a 25-10 rule. If a kid can't swim 25 meters you have to be within 10 feet of them at all time. I would stay that close to the kids anyway, but it's still a big deal when a kid passes and gets to wear a wrist band each time at the pool. Anyway, Evan did it! He swam a lap (25 meters) without stopping. I could tell he was getting tired at the end. The lifeguard and I were cheering him on a long the way. Evan was in the outermost lap. Evan was very proud of himself for swimming that far. We spent a little more time in the outside pool. Evan went down the slides a lot. Noah had fun jumping in a swimming to me.
We took it easy at home this afternoon.
Morry played baseball for just a little bit with the boys before dinner.
Morry still isn't feeling well.
For dinner we had skewered chicken on the grill, with rice, and corn on the cob.

Sports Class and Cole
Grandma drove back to Dallas around 9:30am today.
Morry, Evan, and I took Noah to sports class. He had fun there and seemed to be feeling better.
When we got home Noah's friend Cole came over. The boys had fun playing together and Cole didn't want to leave.
I worked on cleaning out the garage today. I got one shelving until done. There's still a lot more to go.
For dinner we had chicken and couscous.
We took a walk after dinner.
The boys are almost ready for bed. Noah's throwing a fit about something and doesn't want to brush his teeth.

Attempted Walk
This morning Morry took Evan to Mad Science and got Smoothie King on his way home.
Noah and I tried to take a walk with Lizzy. We were about a block away from the house when it started barely sprinkling. I decided to head back home because I didn't want it to pour on us again. Well, it turned out that's all the rain we got. Once we got home we didn't see any other rain drops today.
Morry and took Noah to his sports class. He had fun as usual.
I worked on cleaning out the rest of pantry. Noah helped me by taking things out of the pantry and sorting them - keep, throw away, and give away.
Noah came with me to get Evan from Mad Science. They were playing Period Table of Elements Bingo when I got there. The kids filled in element symbols on their bingo charts and then someone was calling out elements by their symbols/abbreviations.
I finshed cleaning the pantry at home and making dinner while Morry and the boys played baseball outside.
For dinner I made an egg, potato, onion, and cheese frittata.

Another Quick Post
I'm exhausted. The week has been very busy and today was another busy day.
We met with Noah's therapist.
Then, I was doing a lot around the house.
Before dinner we all went to 2 of our banks, and the used video game store.
We ate at Cypress Grill and after that stopped at HEB to pick up Morry's medicine.
The boys cleaned up tonight. They are ready for bed, but still awake.
Here are video and pictures from yesterday.

Quick...
This is just a quick post. Morry is working on my computer. I have been having some problems with it and it wouldn't even start today. I'm using one of Morry's computers to write tonight's blog.
At Noah's sports class today, they had the end of year ceremony. The kids showed the parents what they have been working on all year. Noah got a trophy (a Little Gym ball). I took video and pictures, but I can't upload it right now. I'll try to get it up tomorrow.
After sports class Evan and Noah played on the playground in the shopping center for a while. On the way home we got gas and the Sonic Slushes.
Evan's asleep, but Noah's still up.

Errands and Meetings
This morning I dropped the boys off at Clubhouse for Kids and met with Morry and Noah's therapist. The therapist went over some of the testing results. Basically, she said there is no diagnosis (both good and bad news). There's a big gap between Noah's cognitive development and his emotional development. Noah scored really well on the tests in lots of areas, but emotionally he is behind. She said she'd go over some ways to help us fill in the gap and make things easier on all of us.
From there, I picked up the boys and we went to Noah's sports class.
After Noah's sports class we came home for a little bit and then met a woman near the mall to buy another Leapster for Evan. Evan's Leapster broke a while ago and I wanted to get him another one for our trip. I found a lady on Craigslist selling a used Leapster along with some games. We met at a Starbucks.
From there we met Morry at the mall to look at glasses for me at the Eyemasters. They were expensive and would only take insurance out of network. The haggling was annoying too. I felt like we were at a car dealership. I decided not to buy from there.
We ate dinner at the food court in the mall.
On the way home we had more errands to run so we split up. Morry and Evan went to Office Depot and Noah and I went to Babies R Us.
The boys are pretty much ready for bed. We just need to put the clean sheets back on their beds.

The Mall and Sports Class
This morning Noah and I went to the mall. While we were gone we had our gutters cleaned.
After the mall we went to sports class. Noah had fun and then we ate our picnic lunch outside at the park behind the little gym.
We came home for a little bit and then it was time to get Evan.
We rode the bike to get Evan, came home again for just a little while, and then went to get haircuts.
I took the boys to Cool Cuts 4 Kids. That's the place we went last time where they get to play video games during their haircuts. They were good there.
For dinner we had leftover chicken and couscous.
After dinner we took a walk.
The boys are ready for bed now and will hopefully go to sleep soon.
Oh, the Tooth Fairy is coming tonight. Evan lost another tooth last night, but he wanted to bring it to school today. That is his 3rd tooth that he has lost.

Well Check Up
Today Noah and I went to HEB. I put the groceries away and then we went to sports class. His class was small today for some reason. There was only one other kid in the class. Noah had fun playing tennis in there.
We drove to get Evan since we had a doctors appointment for the boys. It was for their well check-up. We got Evan and put his bike in the car and headed over to the doctor's.
Evan is 46.75 inches (75%) and 51lbs (75-90%). Noah is 39.75 inches (50%) and 37 lbs (50-75%). Noah had to get 3 shots today, but did very well. When he found out he was getting shots, I told him we'd pick up Sonic slushes on the way home. That made him happy.
We got our slushes and then came home. Morry quickly got Evan dressed for baseball and then went to the baseball game. Then, I took Noah to his Karate class.
Evan's team had a pizza party after the game. Evan ate 5 pieces of pizza, but Morry didn't have any.
When they got home Morry, Noah, and I ate.
We just got the boys ready for bed, but Noah's throwing a fit in the bathroom.

Walk and PIcnic
Noah and I walked (he sat in the stroller) at the lake and then we had a picnic lunch at Zilker Park. After that we went to Noah's sports class.
Today, in sports class they did Karate. Noah like that a lot.
Noah chose to come with me to get Evan today and sat on the tandem bike again. He really likes doing that.
Evan seemed happy at school and we all rode our bikes home.
Before dinner, Morry and Evan played tennis in the front yard.
For dinner we had hamburgers. After dinner we took a walk around the block. The boys rode their scooters.
We just gave the boys showers and now they are in bed.
Here's a picture of Noah today after he gently got a butterfly in his hand.

Evan's Birthday
This morning we all walked Evan to school. He seemed very happy to have all of us with him this morning.
We planned on meeting Evan for lunch and bringing him lunch and donuts for the class.
Evan's class eats very early, at 10:30am. The restaurants Evan likes were not serving lunch at that time. We tried Little Caesars and McDonalds. Little Caesars wasn't open and McDonalds was not yet serving lunch at 10am. We had no problem getting donuts though. Evan asked us to get coffee for Mr. V too. I'm not sure why, but that's what Evan wanted.
We ended up going back home quickly to get lunch together to bring to school since we were not able to pick up any lunch food.
Evan was happy to see us at school. Noah enjoyed sitting with the class in the cafeteria.
Noah had his sports class today and had fun in there.
On the way home we stopped at HEB.
When we got home Grandmom was there. Noah stayed at home while I got Evan at school.
Evan had a baseball game at 5:45 that we all went to.
For dinner, Evan wanted Little Caesars. We got that for him and Blue Bamboo for the rest of us.
For dessert, Evan choose to get Slurpees from 7-11.
The boys had a bath and now they are in bed.
Here are pictures and video from today.

Finally Sitting Down
It's been a busy day.
This morning Morry and I put dirt and rocks down in the backyard.
I gave Noah lunch and we went to Sports Class. He had fun.
Then, Noah and I went to Starbucks. I got a coffee for me and a cake pop for him.
We had a 2:00 appointment for Noah to see the therapist. He seemed to have a good time and felt comfortable there.
After that Noah and I went to Sams Club to get stuff for this weekend.
We came home for just a little bit. We filled the pinata and then left for Evan's baseball practice.
Morry left at the same time to go to a meeting.
After practice we stopped at HEB to order the birthday cakes.
Evan's school was having a Hawaiian party tonight. Evan wanted to go so we came near the end. Evan had a great time running around with his friends. They also sold shaved ice, so all 3 of us got a cup.
We came home and I gave Evan dinner. Noah said he didn't want any.
I just gave the boys baths, got them ready for bed, and now I'll read to them.
Michael and Jen should be here any minute.

It was a overcast and little bit drizzly at times, so the boys and I just stayed home this morning.

We stayed at home this afternoon and they boys played a lot of wii. Well, Evan plays and Noah watches.

More Noah
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning seemed back to his normal self. Yesterday he seemed like he was moving more slowly. But today, he was energetic when he got up and was excited to go to school. When I dropped him off at the cafeteria, Ben and Jack were there. Evan didn't even look up to say goodbye.
Noah continued his ways of not wanting to do anything when he got up. Rachel wanted to go for a walk. He initially said he would go but then changed his mind. His energy level is really low.
The concerning part was that when it was time to go to sports class, he didn't want to go. Throughout all of this, sports class was the one thing Noah never fought. He loves it. We made him go thinking when he got there, he might perk up. At first I sat with him while they were working on hockey. Then Rachel said with him. But he refused to participate. After about 20 minutes, we left. He seemed extremely lethargic on the way home.
When we got home, Rachel called the doctor and made an appointment for him for about 30 minutes later. I took Noah to the doctor. The doctor looked at him and his ears. He said that Noah didn't have any fluid in his ears and that overall he looked fine. He then wanted to have some bloodwork done. They take blood in the office. Noah sat in my lap when they went to take blood. I didn't warn him that it would hurt. I didn't want to give him anxiety. Like me, Noah seemed to have good veins. They asked me to wrap my arms around Noah. They stuck the needle in him and he started to whine. But it turns out that he didn't whine because it hurt. He said my arm was too close to his neck. He looked over and he saw this thing coming out of his arm. He calmly asked what it was. They pointed to the vial and said it was his blood. He seemed very curious, not at all concerned that something was in him. The finished up and put the cotton swab on him and put the tape around it. He asked why they were doing that. They said they didn't want him to bleed since he had a cut. He said he didn't have a cut. It was hysterical. They couldn't believe how tough he was.
The bloodwork came back negative. The only thing that was even slightly off was his platelet count was a little high which was standard if he was getting over from being sick. They are checking his thyroid as well but those results won't come back until tomorrow. At this point they just think he's getting over being sick and that his energy hasn't come back.
We stopped and picked up Slurpees on the way home.
When we got home, Rachel told Noah he needed to be quiet for his nap. He really fought with Rachel. Eventually she got him in his room.
Rachel tutored tonight and I got dinner together for the boys.
When she got home, we put the boys to bed and then made dinner for ourselves.
Until next time...
This morning seemed back to his normal self. Yesterday he seemed like he was moving more slowly. But today, he was energetic when he got up and was excited to go to school. When I dropped him off at the cafeteria, Ben and Jack were there. Evan didn't even look up to say goodbye.
Noah continued his ways of not wanting to do anything when he got up. Rachel wanted to go for a walk. He initially said he would go but then changed his mind. His energy level is really low.
The concerning part was that when it was time to go to sports class, he didn't want to go. Throughout all of this, sports class was the one thing Noah never fought. He loves it. We made him go thinking when he got there, he might perk up. At first I sat with him while they were working on hockey. Then Rachel said with him. But he refused to participate. After about 20 minutes, we left. He seemed extremely lethargic on the way home.
When we got home, Rachel called the doctor and made an appointment for him for about 30 minutes later. I took Noah to the doctor. The doctor looked at him and his ears. He said that Noah didn't have any fluid in his ears and that overall he looked fine. He then wanted to have some bloodwork done. They take blood in the office. Noah sat in my lap when they went to take blood. I didn't warn him that it would hurt. I didn't want to give him anxiety. Like me, Noah seemed to have good veins. They asked me to wrap my arms around Noah. They stuck the needle in him and he started to whine. But it turns out that he didn't whine because it hurt. He said my arm was too close to his neck. He looked over and he saw this thing coming out of his arm. He calmly asked what it was. They pointed to the vial and said it was his blood. He seemed very curious, not at all concerned that something was in him. The finished up and put the cotton swab on him and put the tape around it. He asked why they were doing that. They said they didn't want him to bleed since he had a cut. He said he didn't have a cut. It was hysterical. They couldn't believe how tough he was.

Sunny Day
Today it was in the 80s again. It was very nice this morning and I wanted to go for a walk. Noah started throwing a fit that he didn't want to go. Luckily, Morry was home. I just left Noah watching TV and I went for a walk.
We went to Noah's sports class. He was very excited about getting to play hockey today. He had fun as usual. After sports class we stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.
I cleaned the house some and then went to get Evan at school.
I tutored tonight and got home around 7:30. Morry had given the boys dinner and made our dinner (hamburgers). We ate while the boys played.
We just got the boys ready for bed.

Star Wars
This morning Noah, Lizzy, and I went for a walk.
I gave Noah lunch at home, but he didn't eat very much. He was acting ok though.
Noah loves his sports class. He really looks forward to it. He started talking about this morning after waking up. He had a good time today and waved to us several times while he was in the gym.
After sports class we went to Target and then picked up Evan from school.
Evan's friend Ben came over to play for a little while after school.
While Morry and I got dinner ready Evan and Noah cleaned up the game room and Evan's room. It was a mess.
After dinner Morry took the boys to see Star Wars at the movie theater.
They are there now and should be coming home soon.
Evan doesn't have school tomorrow, but Noah does.

Early Morning
Morry left for the airport early this morning, around 6am. About 6:20am Evan came in my room and was upset that Daddy was already gone. He wanted to go to the airport to drop him off. We had talked about that, but Noah didn't want to wake up that early. If we woke him up early anyway he would have been very cranky today.
I had to bring both boys to school this morning. Noah gave me a hard time because he didn't walk from the car to the school. I had to carry him both ways on the path.
Before sports class we stopped at the bank. After sports class we went to Target. Noah was good.
At Target I bought 2 bags of popped popcorn for the boys for snacks.
We picked up Evan at school and then brought him to Ben's house. I picked Evan up at 5pm.
When we got home the neighborhood kids were playing in our yard so Evan went out there to play with them.
Around 6pm all the kids went home and Evan came inside. I started getting dinner ready.
I realized Evan wasn't downstairs with us and when I called for him he didn't answer. I got a little nervous that he wasn't answering me. I went upstairs to his room. He had put his music on and was asleep in his bed. I had a hard time waking him up. I was worried that something was wrong at first. He was extremely cranky and was crying the whole time Noah and I were eating dinner. Finally, towards the end of dinner Evan started feeling better and then ate his dinner.
I just got the boys ready for bed and they are both in their rooms now. Evan read a book to us. It was called "Who am I", for beginning readers.
