Aaron and Mandy's Wedding

This morning we went to Aaron and Mandy's wedding. It was nice seeing everyone.

After the wedding and party, on the way back to the car we stopped and got smoothies at Smoothie King.

At home Grandma, Papa, and Bubbe packed up their things and left a little while later.

Michael and Jen are still here. They leave tomorrow.

Here are few pictures from today and the dinner last night.

San Antonio Weekend

We were in San Antonio over the weekend. My cousin Zach and Allison got married.

The kids were not invited, so we had babysitters for them for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Both nights went well and the babysitters were good.

Friday night, the rehearsal dinner was at the hotel. Saturday we went to Brackenridge park with Grandma, Papa, and the boys. We rode the train and played Frisbee.

The wedding was at the McNay Museum of Art. It was a beautiful wedding. The music was good and it was very nice to see and chat with everyone.

Sunday brunch was next door to the hotel overlooking the Riverwalk. Evan and Noah especially had a good time playing with Ryan.

Before leaving to go home we hung out at Aunt Diane and Uncle Jay's house for a little bit. We drove Michael and Jen to the airport and then went back to Austin.

Grandma, Papa, and Bubbe are going to spend the night here and then drive back to Dallas tomorrow.

For dinner we ate at Trattoria Lisina. Evan and Noah ate well and were well behaved. We all enjoyed our food.

Now, we are totally exhausted. The boys are in bed, but still pretty wired. Noah doesn't seem like he's going to fall asleep any time soon.

Here are some pictures and video from the weekend.

Home again

We are home from Dallas.

I had been in Dallas since Tuesday and Morry and the boys came on Friday.

I'll post pics from Lauren and Shayne's wedding tomorrow.

Today is Papa/Lenny/Dad's 60th birthday. Last night we had a party at the house for him. Today, I went on a 24 mile bike ride with him around White Rock Lake.

We got home around 6:30 tonight, ate dinner, cleaned up, and now we are totally exhausted.

More tomorrow.

Back from Napa

We got back from Napa last night. Morry’s friend, Jordan, was getting married there this weekend. Grandma/Lynn and Papa/Lenny came to watch the boys while we were out of town.

Morry and I had a nice relaxing little vacation. We stayed at the Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa. We flew in and out of San Francisco, but mostly just stayed in the Napa area.

Papa brought the boys to meet us at the airport last night. They were both excited to have us back home.

Evan started getting sick while we were gone. He had a fever on Sunday, but seems to be doing a little bit better. Unfortunately, he gave Grandma his sickness. Noah seems like he might have a little bit of it too.

Grandma and Papa left this morning. The boys and I just stayed at home. I did not take Evan to school today.

Morry got home not too long ago. We are going to try and figure out what to have for dinner now.

New Years Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan did not go to sleep last night until after midnight. He ended up watching the ball drop with us. In fact, I went upstairs before Evan did.

However this morning, two minutes before my alarm went off, Evan came in and woke me up. Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen took him downstairs, though, and gave him breakfast.

Rachel and I got ready and had our own breakfast and then went to the hospital for her neulasta shot. Normally, the shot is given at the oncology center but since it was New Years Day, it was closed and we had to go to hospital. There was some miscommunication so we were late but the people at the hospital were very nice and it went very quickly once we were there.

When we got home, Rachel laid down for about 2 hours. She's feeling very wiped out and she's nauseous.

Evan played Wii with Uncle Mike and Aunt Jen before lunch. Noah liked pretending to play the Wii.

For lunch, we had our left over Salt Lick and the boys ate peanut butter and jelly.

Rachel took a walk after lunch.

Both boys took good naps. I left to go to Matt and Rachael's wedding. They decided to have a very small wedding on Mt. Bonnell. Rachael's friend officiated. After that we went to Pluckers. The wedding was very nice and it was nice to see them so happy. The kids were very well behaved.

I came home and picked up food for all of us for dinner. I made pasta for the boys when I got home and the adults ate the to-go food from Santa Rita. Rachel came downstairs and had some lentil soup.

Both boys are in bed now and Rachel is in bed as well.

Jonah and Erika’s Wedding

Yesterday we went to San Antonio for Jonah and Erika’s wedding. We had a great time. The boys were very good. Evan was the ring bearer in the wedding and he looked so cute in his tuxedo. He did so well walking down the aisle with the flower girls. We thought Morry would have to help him down, but that was not the case.

After the wedding, we went to the reception and didn’t think we would stay that long. Evan and Noah had a great time dancing and we stayed until about 11:30pm. Everything went really well. We drove back to Austin after the wedding and put the boys to bed as soon as we walked in the door.

Evan was up around 8am this morning. Noah got up about 9. Michael, Jen, Grandma/Lynn, and Papa/Lenny got here around 12:30 while Morry was watching the Steelers game.

We put Evan and Noah down for naps and then I went with Michael, Jen, Grandma, and Papa to Rudy’s for lunch.

Evan and Noah didn’t nap well. When I got back Evan was already downstairs and Noah was waking up.

Morry ran out to Newflower to get some groceries for the week.

For dinner, we got Chuy’s takeout. We used one of the gift cards Evan’s class gave to us. It worked out well and it was nice not having to worry about making dinner.

Evan threw a fit going to bed, but it seems to be quiet up there now.
