Friday - Wednesday

Friday - We met the Williams and Mantis (the families we normally vacation with) for dinner and swimming.  We had planned on going on a vacation together this summer, but it didn't work out.   So, instead, we all got together on Friday.  We met for dinner at Mandola's and then went to the William's house after. They have a pool and all of the kids had a great time playing together.

Saturday - Evan had a baseball practice and then Morry and the boys met Alex and Jake at the movies. While they were out, I met a friend of mine for happy hour in the neighborhood.

Sunday - We took Chewie for a walk around the lake.  For dinner, we met Morry's cousin, Aaron, for dinner at Moonshine.

Monday - We took Calvin, Flash, and Chewie to the vet for their yearly checkups.  Calvin lost another pound so now we will give him one pill daily, rather than 1/2.  Flash looked good, except he needs a teeth cleaning and possibly one or two teeth extracted.  Everything was good with Chewie.  He was a big baby though.  He's so scared of the vet for some reason.   After the vet I tutored.

Tuesday - I tutored.  For dinner, Evan went to Grandma and Papa's house.   For our dinner, we made chicken and rice in the Instant Pot.

Today - I tutored.  Then, I met Morry and Evan at Hill Country Indoor, where we might have his Bar Mitzvah party.  Noah went to Grandma and Papa's.  For our dinner we made Buffalo wings.   After dinner Evan had baseball practice.  I walked with Chewie to pick up Noah from Grandma and Papa's.

Here are a few pictures from today.

Evan insisted we by 3 beets at H-E-B and he peeled and cut a beet.  Then, ate it raw for lunch.

At Grandma and Papa's Noah and Grandma made cinnamon rolls.

Happy New Year!

Yesterday, we met the Williams and went downtown for barbecue.  We had lunch at Coopers and then walked around the lake and Auditorium Shores.  The city was setting up for the New Year's party, so we were able to hear some music of a band rehearsing.  It was a nice day.

At night, we met the Edwards at Alamo Drafthouse to see the movie, The Passengers.  We enjoyed that.  We got home around 11pm and Grandma and Papa came over to celebrate New Years.  They stayed until a little after midnight.

Today, we went to the Polar Bear Splash at Barton Springs.  We all jumped into the cold (68 degree) water.

In the afternoon, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin had us all over for lunch.

We had a light dinner.

Now, the kids are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures.
