Batting Cages

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel had to get up a little bit earlier this morning as she had a staff meeting before her morning tutoring session.  When her tutoring was done, she went into school to teach.

As usual, I was home working and the boys were doing virtual school.

Rachel is home earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  But today she stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods.  Evan ordered some sunglasses and Rachel passes right by.  She did the curbside pick up.

After Evan was done with classes, he went out and worked on some pitching in the backyard.  He said he was working on a knuckle-curve that he felt broke both vertically and horizontally.

Later, we met Josiah and his dad, John, at Marucci Clubhouse.  Evan and Josiah hit off the pitching machine for about an hour.  Evan was successful, especially at the end.  He made a slight tweak to his hands and felt the difference.  The results definitely showed.

We came home and made something quick - just pasta - for dinner.

The boys are upstairs now.

Until next time...

Staff Meeting and Only 1 Tutoring Hour

This morning was my early day at school.

After I taught, I came back home for a little bit and then went back to school for our 12:30 staff meeting.

Two of my students canceled today, so I only had the one hour of tutoring in the neighborhood.

I was able to come back home and walked to get Noah from school.

Morry took Evan and Cooper to practice.

They got Chick Fil A for dinner on their way home.

Noah and I had dinner at home.

Morry and Evan got home a little while ago and soon the boys will be ready for bed.

First Day Back To School and Pet Pics

Today was the kids' first day back to school after winter break.

We drove Noah to school since it was misty.  We brought Chewie in the car with us.

My school starts back tomorrow, but I had a staff meeting lunch today.

I stopped at HEB on my way home to pick up a few things.  I was very crowded and took longer than I thought.  When I got home Morry and Chewie had already left to pick up Noah.

I quickly put the groceries away and walked with Luna to meet them.

Evan went to Grandma's for dinner tonight.

We had rotisserie chicken and baked potatoes for dinner tonight.

Then, we walked to pick up Evan.

Gizmo is doing well adjusting to the house.  He's still scared of Chewie since Chewie keeps playfully barking at him. 

Here are a few pictures of the animals.

HEB Run

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Tuesdays are Rachel's early day so she can't walk Noah to school.  Noah and I walked with Chewie.  It was around 33 degrees when we walked, but there was very little wind so it didn't feel bad.

I went into Touch To and worked from there today.

I came home in the early afternoon and did more work before walking to pick Noah up.  Rachel had a staff meeting so she didn't come home.  She also had to run into Charles Maund to renew the car.

We needed to go to HEB since we hadn't been there for shopping in more than a week.  Evan arranged to play basketball with his friend who lives near HEB.  I dropped Evan off there and Noah and I did the shopping.  It was a big shopping trip as we needed quite a bit.  I picked Evan up on the way home.

Rachel was home when we got home.  We unloaded the dishes and made dinner.

Right now, Rachel is doing some work while the boys play on the Playstation.

Until next time...

This week so far

Yesterday, I had a very early haircut/color appointment at 7am. From there I went to school.

Morry walked Noah to school.

Evan called us from school saying he wasn't feeling well. Since Morry and I were not near home and I was about to teach a class, Papa picked up Evan and dropped him off at home.   Papa got him some challah rolls from their house.

After I got home, I walked to get Noah.  Morry was in a phone meeting.

Then, I went to tutor.

We had leftovers for dinner.

Today, I had my early class so just Morry (and Chewie) walked Noah to school.

Evan was feeling a little better so he went to school.

I was at school for most of the day since we also had a staff meeting.  In between my study hall and staff meeting I quickly picked up a few things at HEB.

I got home around 2:30 and then drove to pick up Noah from school since I had to be back in time to leave for tutoring.

I tutored 3 students tonight and got home around 7:15.

The boys played outside some this evening and noticed we have a few pecans growing on our pecan tree.

Morry and the kids had pasta tonight and I had leftovers from Cheddars.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Nico

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning we walked Noah to school.  Chewie is so funny on the walk.  He is so excited.  His tail is up the whole time, and he prances.  He loves to go to school.

When we got home, we put Chewie in the house and then we walked across the street and got Nico from our neighbors house.  Nico is a golden retriever that is 6 months older than Chewie.  Chewie loves him.  They needed someone to watch him today so we brought him to our house.  The two dogs were crazy.  They just played as much as they could.  They're both the same color, the have the same shaped face and are roughly the same size.  Nico is a little taller but they are both the same length.  Additionally, they both have black collars.  So when they were really playing, sometimes it was confusing which dog was which.  If they laid down it was easy to tell but when you just seem two dogs jump on each other, it was hard.

Rachel had to go to school early today.  They had staff meetings to get ready for the start of their school which is next week.

I left later in the morning and put the dogs in crates.  Luckily we have a second crate.

When Rachel got home, she brought Nico to his backyard and took Chewie to get Noah.  Then she brought Nico back over when she got home.  She just wasn't able to walk with both dogs and she didn't want to put Nico back in the crate. 

Noah went to Grandma and Papa's after school.

I came home and Rachel left to go to tutoring just after Evan came home.  After she left, Evan and I returned Nico home and left to go to his baseball practice.

I met two fathers at a bar/restaurant during practice.  It was a nice time.

On the way home from practice I picked up Noah.

Rachel made dinner from one of those places like BlueApron (but not BlueApron).  She got the meals free as part of the blog.  This one was steak and potatoes.  It was pretty good.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Three More Weeks

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel had a staff meeting today so we didn't walk after dropping Noah off at school.  I worked from home for a while before going into the office.

When we got home, we walked Chewie to get Noah.  Noah got out early - or perhaps he didn't fool around as much - so he was coming up the trail when we got there.  Chewie didn't get as much attention because we weren't waiting for Noah.

As soon as Evan got home, he and I left for his baseball practice.  I went to a cafe and worked while Evan practiced.

Rachel didn't tutor so she and Noah stayed at home.

For dinner, we grilled flank steak.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Middle of the Week

This morning we walked Noah to school. 

Shortly after we got back I left for my school since we had a staff meeting.

I got home around 2:30 and then Morry and I walked with Chewie to get Noah.

Noah went straight to Grandma and Papa's house and was there until after dinner.

Morry took Evan to Cooper's house right after school so they could go to baseball practice.

While Evan was at baseball, Morry went to Costco to pick up a few things.

Morry and I ate ribs for dinner and then walked to Grandma and Papa's to get Noah.

Now, it's time for the kids to get ready for bed.  They are playing the video game, Fortnite now and are super into it.
