Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Day number 2 at school seemed to go well. Like yesterday, we all left the house at the same time but Evan and Noah went one direction, while Rachel, Chewie and I went another direction. Chewie was very hyper on the walk and really seemed to enjoy it.
When we came home, Rachel went for a run.
Both of us were home all day. I had several video calls and one phone call.
For some reason a different bus picked the boys up from school. The bus driver also missed the turn so the boys were a little late getting home.
For dinner we went to Firehouse Subs. A PR company contacted Rachel. We got a free dinner while Rachel took pictures. Rachel will be doing some promotion for them. The owner came and talked to us.
We stopped at Target before heading home. We needed to get some school supplies.
Rachel just worked with Evan on Hebrew. He's got a little bit of homework after that.
Until next time...

No Sports This Weekend
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan was supposed to play baseball in Dallas this weekend. He was going to go up with one of his teammates on Friday and I was going to go up on Saturday. But there was 100% chance of rain this weekend so the parents voted to not go. That saved everyone a drive as well as paying for a night at a hotel. It did rain and the tournament was cancelled so it ended up being a good decision.
I was happy because I thought I would get to see Noah play football. Unfortunately, it rained heavily yesterday morning and Noah's game was cancelled.
I took the boys to Target where they spent some money from their birthday. Then we picked up a movie from Redbox that we watched in the afternoon. Rachel tutored while we did that.
For dinner, we went to Hula Hut. We did some shopping at HEB on the way home. We saw Grandma and Papa as well as our neighbor Rita there.
Today, I got up with the animals and fed them and then went back to bed. Later in the morning, Rachel got up. She didn't realize I had fed them and took them downstairs and fed them again. I think they were quite happy.
Rachel and I took Chewie for a long walk this morning. Then we came home and had lunch.
In the afternoon, I did some work. Rachel left to go to a Pink Ribbon Cowgirl event.
Noah had Sunday School in the afternoon.
For dinner, we were able to eat outside. It was nice. Chewie loved having us outside. We let Calvin come out too.
The boys are playing upstairs now.

Sunny Weekend
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The sun has finally emerged in Austin. And today, they were even able to remove the boil water notice!
Yesterday, Noah had a flag football game in the morning. It was cold at the start of the game, but warmed up quickly. Noah has developed a specialty of blitzing the quarterback. Last week, the quarterback did not complete a single pass when Noah blitzed. Yesterday, Noah was even more successful. While he didn't get a "sack", the QB just threw the ball up twice when Noah blitzed and it was intercepted and run back for a touchdown. His team won easily. It was really nice seeing Noah have that success.
Noah had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon.
While Noah was at the birthday party, I took Evan to his baseball games. His arm was still hurting so he couldn't play a position where had to throw. He batted only in the first game. In the second game, he played first base. He's a pretty good first baseman so I think he enjoyed being out there playing. They lost both games.
Evan's friend and teammate, Josh, came home with us and stayed over night.
Evan, Josh and I left early in the morning for today's baseball game. We stopped at Donut Taco Palace on the way.
Evan's arm felt somewhat better, so he played in the left and right fields. He got the ball three or four times and they limited the distance he had to throw. Unfortunately, they lost the game.
After the game, we met Evan's friend and teammate, Angelo and his family at Popeye's. It was a nice time.
Rachel took Noah to another birthday party. This party was ice skating. Rachel stayed at the party. Then they went to a Wonders & Worries Halloween party. Finally, Rachel dropped Noah off at Sunday School.
For dinner, Rachel and I picked Noah up at Sunday School. Then we went to a restaurant called Bamboo Bistro.
We had to stop at Target on the way home to get some stuff for a blog post for Rachel's blog.

Final Week of Baseball Program
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning I went into HomeAway for a bit. The boys got up late and Noah didn't want to do anything so Rachel and the boys stayed at home all morning.
On my way home, I stopped at Target to pick up some school supplies and things that Rachel had ordered.
I took Evan out to his baseball program later in the afternoon. They re-tested the exit velocity of the ball off the bat when they hit. Evan's velocity had gone up 10% from the beginning of the summer. Then they played a hitting game. Evan seemed to have fun.
I dropped Evan off at Grandma and Papa's for dinner and went home.
Rachel, Noah and I had General Tso's Chicken that we made from a frozen meal.
After dinner, we walked to get Evan.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Last Cotillion
This morning we walked Noah to school and then I left for my school.
I stopped at Target to pick up a gift card for a birthday party and then I met Morry for lunch at Wholy Bagel.
Morry went to a meeting after that and I came home.
We walked to pick up Noah.
Then, Noah went over to Grandma and Papa's house.
Tonight was the last Cotillion.
Evan's friend, Reid, was dropped off at our house and then we all went to the final event. Parents were invited to this one. They had a ballroom at a hotel and the kids demonstrated some of the dances they had learned. Then, they had to ask a parent to dance.
After the event, we met Reid's parents at Chick Fil A to drop off both Reid and Evan. Evan is spending the night over there.
Then, we went to Grandma and Papa's to pick up Noah and bring some chairs for Passover.
Here are some pictures and a video from tonight.

Zip Line
This morning we walked Noah to school with Lizzy. Evan walked to the bus stop from home.
Shortly after getting home, I went to Camp Gladiator.
I needed to be at ATA at 11:30 for day 2 of orientation.
We had a catered lunch from Thundercloud Subs and then went to Cypress Valley for zip lining. What a nice job so far... catered lunch and zip lines! I had a nice time. The kids seem really nice so far.
From there, I tutored.
While I was gone Morry picked up Noah from school. Evan took the bus home.
On my way home I thought I'd get gas. I hadn't been online today, so I was unaware of the gas crisis going on. I stopped at H-E-B to get gas and all the pumps said the gas was sold out. I thought that was weird. Then, every gas station I passed had a long line stretching down the street. I ended up going to a gas station near our house and waiting in line about 20 minutes for gas.
For dinner we had ribs.
After dinner, Evan realized he didn't have a composition book that was part of an assignment that had been due today. Morry had to take Evan out to find one so he could complete the assignment. First, they went to H-E-B, but they didn't have one. Then, they went to Target. From there, they waited in line so that Morry could get gas. Evan finished his assignment while they were in the car.
They just got home.
Hopefully, Evan can go to bed soon.

Looooong Day
This morning we did our usual routine. We walked to drop off Noah and then Evan got the bus at the stop near our house.
Morry and I went to Camp Gladiator this morning.
I had to be at my school at 11am for planning and preparation. I was there until around 1pm.
From there, I went shopping at Target and the Office Depot to get school supplies for Evan that his teachers requested. I also picked up some items for my classroom. It took me so long at Target because I couldn't find everything, that I was not able to get home in time to pick up Noah.
I got home around 3:20 and then had to leave again a little after 4:00 for tutoring.
As I was leaving, I saw Evan get off his bus and said a quick "Hello" to him.
I got home around 7:15 from tutoring and then we had dinner.
Evan had some homework tonight and just got it done.
Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Parties
This morning we walked to school.
Morry and I got bagels, went to Target, and then the vet to pick up cat food.
At noon, we went to a card reader. It was for the blog series about taking chances and trying new things. Neither of us had done that before. It was interesting. The guy read our stones and cards. He was very optimistic with both of us. We have great things in our future! :)
We walked to pick up the boys from school.
Around 5:00 we went to our neighbor's house for a birthday party.
Wade's mom picked up Evan around 5:45 to bring him to his friend's birthday party. Evan is still there now and should be coming home soon.
Morry, Noah, and I stayed at the party for a little while and then walked over to the Food Truck Night. We ate dinner there. Our food was just okay. Noah got a shaved ice for dessert.
Now we are waiting for Evan to come home and then the boys will get ready for bed.

Noah the Teacher
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today was a day off for the boys from school as well as Camp Gladiator for us. Actually there was a session today but rain drove it indoors to a very cramped space. We decided to pass this morning.
I had a quick call with HomeAway and then we had to go into the school for parent-teacher conferences.
First, we went to Evan's class. His teacher told us that Evan was very popular (we had a good idea of this) and that it's a time when boys and girls start noticing each other and that Evan was a good looking kid. She said she didn't want to embarrass him. Evan insists he doesn't care about girls, though he has friends that are girls this year for the first time. He also said that no girls "like" him though that goes against what the teacher said. So who knows? The reason she was telling us was not to embarrass him but I guess there was a brief period that Evan wasn't paying as much attention to school as much as his social life but he's figured it all out and the balance of school, social life, and sports. But in general, he is doing well and has improved and she's happy about where he's at. His grades are good.
I spent some time talking to Evan's reading and writing teacher after that. She's a tougher teacher, though I like her. She's good for Evan. She holds him accountable. She also has a daughter in high school that is very serious in soccer so while she's tough on Evan at times, she understand his baseball commitment. We had a really nice conversation and Evan has improved with his organization in her class.
Meanwhile, Rachel went to see Ms. Crenshaw with Noah for his conference. When I got there, Ms. Crenshaw was telling them how great Noah is doing. As they start to plan for next year, Ms. Crenshaw asked each kid if there was a student they'd want to go with them to their 4th grade class. Out of the seven kids before Noah's conference, five kids said they wanted to go with Noah. Apparently, Noah has been teaching math to his fellow students. She has them work in groups and when they don't understand the math, Noah explains it to them. She said that Noah is really good that if they don't understand the first time he explains it, he is able to come up with a new way to teach them. She had Noah demonstrate for us. I guess they were working on irregular fractions. She asked Noah to explain irregular fractions to Rachel before I got there. He was explaining what 9/4 were. She said it was different than how she taught it to the class. Then when Evan and I got there, he explained what 9/4 were a different way than he had explained it to Rachel, but still different to how Ms. Crenshaw taught it. Noah told me that when she pairs kids up, several times kids have asked to be paired with Noah that aren't in his circle of friends. He said he was surprised. Noah told us that he also helps other kids with reading. While Rachel and I are aware that Noah is very bright and we have been aware that Ms. Crenshaw thinks very highly of Noah, this was a whole new side of Noah that we hadn't known about. It's terrific. We are really, really proud of Noah.
We came home and Rachel got food for the boys for lunch. She then left to go tutor.
Meanwhile, I had a call with Focus Forward.
Around 3pm, Evan and I left for his hitting lesson. Rachel stopped at Target on the way home so Noah was by himself for a bit.
For dinner we grilled hamburgers.
The boys are upstairs getting ready for bed.

Back to the Grind
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We all slept in a bit. It was a tiring trip, though we had fun.
Evan went on a bike ride with Papa when we got up. He seemed to have a good time. Noah didn't go but he agreed to ride his bike tomorrow. We'll see if that happens.
Rachel and Noah went for a run.
I drove and met Aaron and Dmitriy at a place where they are working on an interactive screen. We went for lunch together at Easy Tiger.
We had grilled chicken for dinner.
After dinner, Rachel and I went to Target and HEB to get some things.
The boys are in bed now.

Morry and Evan ran out to Target to pick up a video game Evan ordered with a gift card he had.
I got stuff done around the house. I did laundry, cleaned, got lunches ready for the week.
Morry and the boys watched the Steelers game this afternoon.
Grandma and Papa picked up dinner from Maudie's and we ate at our house after the game was over.

Twenty-one Shrimp
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
With the rain all weekend, Evan's baseball tournament was cancelled. Instead, he had a hit lesson at noon. Everyone slept in which was nice. Evan and I left around 11:15 for the hitting lesson.
Rachel also left to get her blood drawn for an upcoming doctor's appointment. She stopped at Kohl's quickly on the way home.
Noah stayed home. Rachel was able to text him and check on him that way before she stopped at Kohl's.
Evan and I stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.
We had leftovers for lunch. Then Evan and I watched football all afternoon.
For dinner, Rachel had gotten a $50 gift card to Outback for some work she had done. So we drove up north to go there. With any entree, you could add unlimited shrimp. They were normal-sized shrimp. So we added the shrimp to my meal for Evan. Evan ate 21 shrimp for dinner. We had also ordered the "Bloomin'" Onion for an appetizer. Evan ate a ton of that. Noah also ate well. He finished the ribs he ordered.
We stopped at Target on the way home to get some stuff.

Wholy Bagel on Sunday
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We decided to go to Wholy Bagel today since we were not able to go on Friday. With Evan sick, Rachel didn't go out on Friday during the day at all. It was very crowded on a Sunday, but we were able to eat. It was just as good as always. The boys enjoyed it.
The boys cleaned up and played outside in the cul-de-sac for a while. Evan and I then went to the middle school. Evan wanted to kick field goals again. He made several. After that, he and I stopped at Target to get something for the cats. When we were there, we bumped into the dad of someone that Evan played basketball with and baseball against. We talked for a while.
When we got home, Rachel, Evan and I walked over to Grandma and Papa's. Aunt Susan was there. So we said hello for a bit. Noah stayed at home.
For dinner, I grilled steaks and Rachel made the turbot. Evan ate a ton. He probably had 8-10 oz of steak as well as a bunch of turbot, along with corn and fruit.

15 Years
Morry and I dropped the kids off with Grandma around 11am and went out to lunch. Today is the the 15 year anniversary of our first date. We went to Taco Deli and then Dolce Neve for gelato.
Morry had a 2pm meeting, so we picked up the kids after lunch and dessert and went home.
This afternoon the boys and I ran some errands. They got haircuts and then we went to Target.
For dinner we had chicken and zucchini.
The boys are playing video games now.
Here are some pictures from today.

98 cents
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Wade's mom picked Evan up at 7:40 this morning for basketball camp. Rachel picked up all the boys after camp and then picked up Wade's sister from her camp. The boys convinced Rachel to get ice cream while they were out.
I had two meetings in the morning. Both were good meetings.
Later in the afternoon, Rachel and I ran out to Alamo Drafthouse to pick up tickets. I had a free ticket for my birthday as part of the rewards program, but you have to redeem the free voucher in person. We're going to see Ghostbusters tomorrow night so we picked up the tickets. From there, Rachel went to Target and Academy to buy some things.
Evan needed a new backpack so Rachel was looking for one at Academy. She found a nice one for $49.99. She also got some shorts for herself. As she checked out they told her the total was around $25 something. Rachel swiped the credit card and then thought, how is it only $25. Just at that moment the clerk said the same thing. They looked and the backpack ran up for 98 cents. They called the manager over and it took some time to figure out why. The manager said they'd give it to Rachel for half off. But then the manager realized Rachel had already paid. So the manager just let Rachel have it for 98 cents.
For dinner, I cooked ribs and corn on the grill. Both were good.
We went for a walk in the evening.
The boys are about to get ready for bed.
Until next time...

Late Night
This morning we walked to school.
I went to Target and Walgreens today.
We walked again to pick up the boys from school.
Later in the afternoon I left to tutor. Before Morry and Evan went to baseball practice they dropped off Noah at Grandma and Papa's house.
On my way home from tutoring I picked up Noah at Grandma and Papa's. They were eating dinner when I got there, so I joined them too. Noah had a fun time there. He and Grandma played Boggle.
We got home at 8:00pm just as Morry and Evan were getting home. They picked up Popeye's for dinner on the way home.
The boys are ready for bed and in their rooms now.

Monopoly
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We had another nice morning walking to school. Lizzy got a lot of attention today - the most since school started back. She really liked that.
Rachel and Grandma then took Lizzy to Lady Bird Lake and went for a walk.
I went into Aaron's to work on some things. On my way home, Rachel asked if I could get stuff for Evan's science fair project. Target was out of the tri-fold board, but I was able to get a wooden bat at Play It Again Sports for the project.
We walked to get the boys. Evan ran home with his friend Ethan who was on a bike. Then Ethan and Evan and Ethan's sister rode around in the cul-de-sac for 15 minutes.
When Evan was done, the boys did their homework and then walked to Grandma's. They played Monopoly with her. Apparently, the boys ganged up on Grandma. If the boys landed on each other's property, they didn't charge each other, but they always charged Grandma. At one point, Evan bought a property from Grandma, only to turn around and give it for free to Noah, who needed it to be able to build houses on it. They enjoyed it.
Rachel picked up Grandma and the boys up on the way home from tutoring and we all ate together. We had hamburgers and corn on the cob made on our grill.
We just walked Grandma home and the boys are about to go to bed.

One more week
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Today marks a week until school is out for winter break. It also marks one week until we see Star Wars.
Rachel walked with Lorena after dropping the boys off at school. That meant that Lizzy and I did not wait for Rachel to come up from school. We just walked home. This bothers Lizzy tremendously. She does not like to leave anyone behind. It's really hard to get her to move.
We went to Wholy Bagel for lunch. We got there just after 11 but they were out of quite a few bagels.
In the afternoon, I had to go to a meeting with the investor in Your Trainer. The investors wanted a presentation of what was going on. I did not personally present, but I was required to be there.
For dinner, we ordered Papa John's.
We went to Target to get some things including gifts for birthday parties that the boys are attending.
The boys are getting ready for bed.

Busy Afternoon
This morning we walked to school.
I went for a run and later went to the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.
I left to tutor around 2:15pm.
After school Noah was going to Math Pentathlon and Evan was going over to Wade's house. Morry didn't have to go to the school this afternoon. Both boys got rides home later in the afternoon.
I stopped at Target on my way home from tutoring.
For dinner we had fajitas. Then, we went for a walk.
The boys don't have school tomorrow, so they are still up playing video games.

6 Years
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning we walked to school with the boys. It was kind of cloudy so it was cool.
I went into Aaron's for a bit. Rachel stayed at home. We met at Wholy Bagel from lunch. Our friend Seth (originally from Hey Cupcake) met us. We had a nice time talking to him. He shared the menu for the concept of the restaurant he's trying to raise money for. It's a great idea. I really hope it works out for him.
After lunch, Rachel went to Target, while I went home. I left to pick up the boys before Rachel got home.
Evan went over Jack's along with Wade. Noah and I walked home.
Today marks six years since Rachel was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has been cancer-free since. I'm very very proud of her and how hard she has battled through all of this. I'm very glad it's been six years.
For dinner, we ordered Papa John's.
The boys will be getting ready for bed soon.
