Bucky, Thanksgiving Week, Emory

 Here's everything that's been going on the last few weeks.

We had a very sweet foster dog named Bucky.  He had some complications after a nutering and had a rough recovery.  We felt so bad for him.

Luckily, a very nice family adopted him and we've been getting updates about how well he doing.

Here are a few pictures of Bucky.

We had a nice Thanksgiving week.  Michael's family came in town and we had Thankgiving at Uncle Marvin's and Aunt Sandy's house.  Noah did the neighborhood Turkey Trot with his friend Jackson on Thanksgiving.

Here are some pictures from ice skating and Thanksgiving.

On Friday, we got a new foster dog, Emory.  He's a 6-month old happy puppy.  He's been great so far.  We took him on a 3 mile walk around the lake today.  Here's a picture of Emory.

Tomorrow, it's back to work and school for everyone. 

Photo Dump and Everything in the Last Few Weeks

 Over the last few weeks, here's what's been going on.

We pet sat for Miso.

Michael and his family came to visit.  We had a great time celebrating many of the holidays and events we missed throughout the last 2 years.  One of the days we went to Uncle Marvin and Aunt Sandy's house and celebrated birthdays there with a pinata.  One of the days we celebrated Thanksgiving and Morry smoked a turkey. 

Spring Break - I had two weeks off and the boys had one.  We stayed at home but still kept busy with all of Evan's baseball games and SXSW.  I went to several events during the first few days of the festival.  Morry and the kids met me on one of the days and we had fun walking around downtown and eating lots of free food.

Noah's birthday - For Noah's birthday today, he chose to walk with Evan to Dominos and HEB for lunch.  For dinner, we went to Kura revolving sushi.

Here are photos from the last few weeks.

Round Mountain + Hanukkah

 On Friday, we went to Round Mountain to get together with the Krasnow side of the family.  We had a nice time seeing everyone.  Here's a picture.

Yesterday, Morry and I ran some errands.  We went to Dick's Sporting Goods to get Wiffle balls for the boys for Hanukkah.   Then, we went to HEB to do our weekly shopping.

Yesterday afternoon Morry and I clean out his side of the garage and then took a lot of stuff over to Goodwill to donate.

Today, we dropped off Morry's car for an inspection.  

Then, we took a long walk from our house to Summer Moon coffee and back.    After that, we went back out to pick up Morry's car.

This afternoon Evan and some friends went to the mall to see a movie and shop for holiday gifts. 

For dinner, we ate at Kerbey Lane.

When we got home we celebrated the first night of Hanukkah.

The Long Weekend

On Friday, the kids didn't have school and came with me to my school.  They participated in my math class and then played tennis together for a while.  I was ready to leave and go home, but they wanted to hang out more.

Noah had a football game on Saturday morning. Grandma came with us and Papa met us there.  Noah's team won.

Evan had baseball games with the blue team on both Saturday and Sunday.

Today, the kids also did not have school.

I went for a run.  Then I tutored.  After that, we had a video conference with the rabbi.  Shortly after that, we left for Round Mountain.

Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin invited some of the family over for dinner since Mark and his wife Gina are in town.  We had a nice time.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

First Post in 2019

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This is the first post of the New Year and the 12th year we've written a blog post.

On New Year's Eve, we took it easy during the day.  Rachel and I took Chewie and Luna for a long walk.  At night, the Edwards family came over.  Josh plays baseball with Evan and has across two teams since 2013. We went to Kura Revolving Sushi Bar.  I had been before and Rachel had taken Noah once.  The sushi plates come around on a revolving belt and you can order food that's delivered to you on a different belt.  It worked out well.  From there we went back to our house where we had dessert that Rachel made and watched the ball drop.

On New Year's Day, we went to Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin's house.  We brought the dessert and had a late lunch there.  It was a good time.

Today, I had to go into HomeAway. It was my first day back.  It was a long day as there was an afternoon meeting.

Rachel, Evan and Noah went with Grandma, Papa and Uncle Mike to Kerbey Lane.  Uncle Mike was in for a wedding.  Then they went back to Grandma and Papa's and sat around and had hot drinks and sat around and talked.  Noah had hot apple cider while Evan had hot chocolate with whipped cream.

For dinner, I made blackened chicken.

The boys are upstairs playing.

Until next time...

Thanksgiving 2018

We had a fun week celebrating Thanksgiving with the family.

Sherah's family stayed with us from Wednesday through Saturday.

Thursday for Thanksgiving we went to Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin's house.

Friday night we had dinner at Grandma and Papa's house.

Saturday lunch was also at Grandma and Papa's.

Today, we mostly took it easy.  We had been petsitting for Luna and her family picked her up last night.  This morning we petsat for Nikko, our neighbor's Golden Retriever, while they moved to their new house.

Morry and I took the dogs on a long walk.

This afternoon the boys decorated shirts and a hat.

Then, they watched the Steelers game.

For dinner, we went to a Chinese restaurant with Grandma and Papa.

Now we are getting ready to go back to work and school tomorrow.

Here are some pictures from the last few days.

Labor Day Weekend

Early Friday morning, we woke up at 1:50am and drove to Dallas for our 7:40am flight to Pittsburgh for Dora's Bat Mitzvah.

After getting our luggage in Pittsburgh we took the bus to our hotel which was near the Pitt and CMU campus.

We walked got lunch at a deli/sandwich shop, which the kids loved.  Then, we walked around campus.

At night, there was a Shabbat service and then dinner.

Saturday morning was the Bat Mitzvah.  Morry had the honor of holding the Torah.  Dora did a great job.

We took it easy in the afternoon at the hotel.

The party on Saturday night was at a private school.  They had a DJ as well as a photo booth and caricature artist.

Sunday morning there was a brunch at the hotel.

After that, we walked around town.  We walked to Eat N Park to get Smiley cookies and then to Mike and Darcy's house.  Mike gave us a ride back to the hotel and then to the airport.

We arrived in Dallas around 8pm and we drove back to Austin.  It was a little after midnight by the time we got home on Sunday night.

We took it easy most of the day on Monday.

At 4:00 we went to Uncle Marvin and Aunt Sandy's house for a Labor Day dinner.  Grandma and Papa rode with us.

This morning it was back to a full day of work and school.

Evan ate dinner at Grandma and Papa's.

Morry is at Evan's Back to School night now. 

Here are some pictures from our trip.
