Noah's Half Marathon, Parker, West Palm Beach

 On January 22, Noah ran his first half marathon.  We are so proud of him. He got a great time too - under 2 hours! His official chip time was 01:56:53 .  He met his school group at the start and ran with his friend, Jackson the whole time.

We have a new foster dog, Parker.  He's sweet and cuddly.  He's black, but looks just like a golden retriever.  He will hopefully be getting adopted in a few days.

Also, we all went to the RBI fundraiser event.  Morry and I were invited by the Mantis and the boys volunteered. 

Over the weekend Grandma/Mom and I went to West Palm Beach to visit Maureen and Doug.  We had a very nice time.

Yesterday, Austin started getting a cold, winter storm.  We are lucky we were able to get home.   Today and tomorrow schools are canceled.  

I taught my classes over Zoom.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Getting Ready

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The theme for today seems to be getting ready.  This morning, I drove down to San Marcos for a meeting with Kissing Tree to review Grandmom's new house as they are getting ready to put up the sheet rock.  We walked the house.  It looks nice.

I came home and Rachel got home shortly after.  She quickly turned around to go get Noah from school.  He had an appointment with an ENT to look at his nose and airways to make sure that everything looked good and there is nothing that would inhibit his sleep. He is in good shape there.

Rachel came back home and rested for a bit before leaving for tutoring.

The boys stayed at school because they had play rehearsals.  They are getting ready to for opening night next Thursday.  Tomorrow they'll be at school even longer as the rehearsals are getting more intense.

When I got home, I heated up some chicken from last night and made some pasta to go with it while Rachel was getting ready for her trip.  She was packing and trying on clothes.

Evan is doing homework now while Rachel is continuing to get ready.  I think Noah is playing on the Playstation.

Until next time...

Trip to Philadelphia and Summer Camp

We were gone for about a week.

We started out in Philadelphia to celebrate Grandmom's birthday and Avery's Bat Mitzvah.  Then, we drove to Greensboro, NC to drop the kids off at camp.   They will be there until July 15 when Fran and Scott pick them up.  Then, Fran will fly them back to Austin.

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Galveston 2015

We had a nice family vacation to Galveston.

We left Tuesday morning and got back this afternoon.

We rented a house near the beach.  We ate good seafood, went to Schlitterbahn (indoor waterpark), Moody Gardens, mini golf, and took walks on the beach.

Everything worked out well and we had good weather.  The kids and Lizzy were even able to play in the water.

Here are some pictures from our trip.
