Since the last post...

Noah's been doing a lot of running and significantly improved his speed.  We are super proud of him.

Evan, Morry, and I went to Pittsburgh/Meadville to check out Allegheny College.  We had a great time.  The tour was very nice.  Evan got to spend some time with the coach and baseball team.

We were also able to visit with Trent's family and Mike, Darcy, and Dora while we were in town.

It's official!  Evan got accepted to Allegheny College!

The boys went to the homecoming school dance last night.

Here are some pictures since the last post.

Pittsburgh

 Last weekend, we had a nice time in Pittsburgh. 

We went to spread Zayde's ashes but also got to spend some time with family and friends.

We met Fran, Ronald, and Rachel's families out there.  We also saw Mike and Darcy as well as Trent's families.

On Sunday, we went to the Pirates baseball game.

We stayed an extra day to do stuff around the city.

On Monday, we went to the Roberto Clemente Museum.

Here are pictures from the trip.

Trent and Carter

 Today, everyone was home.  I made the kids lunches and then went for a run/walk.

Chewie's trainer came today.

In the afternoon I Zoom tutored 2 students.

Then, we picked up Home Slice Pizza and met Trent and Carter at the park in that neighborhood. 

Trent and Carter are checking out Austin because Carter and his girlfriend would like to move here.

We had a nice time in the park.

Carter and Evan played hackysack. 

We just got home and now I'm doing a little bit of work before Morry and I sit down and watch more Schitts Creek.

Here are some pictures from today.

40!

On Friday, we left for Pittsburgh.

Morry's 40th birthday was Sunday, so we decided to go to Pittsburgh to celebrate his birthday.

Our plane arrived around midnight and by the time we got to Mike's house it was about 2am.

Saturday, we hung out with the Gordons and then Trent's family at night.

Sunday, we went to the Pirates baseball game.

We got home around midnight last night.

This morning, Evan was picked up for basketball camp at 7:30am.

Later in the morning I went for a run and then Noah and I went to Whole Foods for a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.

Morry did camp pickup duty today.

For dinner we had hamburgers.

Then, we went to HEB.

The boys are asleep now.

Happy New Year!

Yesterday Aaron's family came over in the afternoon for a little bit.

At night, we went to Wade's house.  They had a nice family friendly New Year's Eve party.  We stayed until a little after midnight.

Today, was filled with family.  We went to Uncle Marvin and Aunt Sandy's house around 10:30 and stayed there until mid afternoon.  Trent's family, Grandma and Papa, Jay and Holis, Jacob, JT and Helen, Lisa's boys, Joel, and Jimmy's kids were there with their significant others.  We had a nice time with everyone.

We took it easy tonight.  We ordered pizza and picked up a Redbox movie.  We just watched Inside Out with the kids.  We all liked it.

Soon the boys will get ready for bed.

Here are a few pictures from today.

Mason

This morning I let Morry sleep in and took care of the boys.

Morry took Evan to soccer while I took Noah to HEB. Since we were going to Mason later and needed groceries, I used that time to get our shopping done. Morry said Evan did very well and soccer and played the whole time. He followed directions well and had a good time.

We left our house around 1:00pm and drove to Mason (about 1.5 hrs with no stops). Trent’s family and Lisa’s family were in town visiting JT and Helen. We stopped in Llano and got barbecue at a really good restaurant called Coopers. On the way into the restaurant you pass by the pitt and pick out the meat that you want. Our food was really good. Evan and Noah ate the food we brought for them. Most of Noah’s food ended up on the floor.

After lunch we drove about another 30 minutes to JT and Helen’s house. We had a really nice time. Evan and Noah enjoyed playing with the big kids. We mostly sat outside. They have a covered patio that gets a nice breeze. Helen also had lots of cats and kittens in the house that both Evan and Noah enjoyed.

We left the house around 7:30. They were going out to dinner at that time, but we weren’t sure how much longer Evan and Noah would make it. We decided to head home. We had to make quite a few stops, now that Evan is potty trained. We stopped at Sonic (that’s all that was really out there) to get dinner for Evan. Evan asked for hot dog. We ordered a kids meal for him, that Morry ended up eating. Evan did not want any of it once we got it. He did drink the slushie we got for him though.

We finally got home around 10pm. The boys are in bed now and quiet. It was a long and fun day.
