This morning I took my time getting everyone ready and went for a run. It was the first time I have run in a while. Between being sick and the weather not being so great, I had many excuses. I put the boys in the stroller and brought Lizzy too. I went a total of 3 miles and ran the majority of the time.
When we got home I got my coupons together and then we went back out again. This time we went to the library to drop off a book. The library was closed so I just put the book in the book drop. Evan read the word "book". He said, "I know what that says. It says book."
Then, we went to HEB. I needed to buy a lot of groceries. It took us a while. The boys were getting cranky toward the end.
I had just enough time to put the groceries away before Gabby came over. I quickly got ready for tutoring and then left to go tutor one student.
On the way home I stopped to buy a desk and printer stand from someone off of Craigslist. I wanted to get another desk for the downstairs office and found a good deal on Craigslist. I was glad I had the van. I was barely able to get the desk and stand in the back of the van without having to remove the boys car seats.
For dinner Morry had steak and I had fish.
Evan was throwing a fit at bath time. He was crying a lot. It was very unlike him. Either he is tired or getting sick.
Evan and Noah are in bed now and it seems to be quiet up there.

Running Errands with Grandma and Papa
We were able to sleep in a little bit today. Evan came in our room around 9:30am and I helped him get set up in the game room.
A little later Grandma and Papa cut up some fruit and they and the boys had breakfast.
Then, we all went to run some errands. First we went to Home Depot. Papa was going to help us fix some things around the house. Morry and Evan ran into Academy to get some oil kit for Evan's baseball glove. Next, we all went to Office Depot. Then, we had lunch/brunch at Kerbey Lane. The boys were very good during everything. Noah ate a lot of his blueberry pancake at lunch but Evan didn't eat much of his raspberry pancake until the very end when we were all ready to leave.
When we got home Papa helped us fix some things in the house and then he and Grandma drove back to Dallas.
I spent most of the afternoon working on cleaning up the downstairs office. It's a major project. I finally went through everything in that closed. Now, I need to figure out how to organize the stuff we are keeping and get it back in the closet.
For dinner we had pasta.
Evan and Noah are in bed, but not asleep yet.

Wimberley
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Yesterday, Papa and Grandma came down so that Rachel and I could go to a bed and breakfast in a small town southeast of Austin called Wimberley. We had gotten a deal from Living Social. They took care of the boys last night while we went.
We enjoyed our time although the weather was not good. It rained the whole time so we couldn't really walk around the town. That's ok, it was still enjoyable. We went to an Italian restaurant last night. Today after we had breakfast delivered to our room, we ended up driving into another small town called Dripping Springs. We had lunch there at a nice cafe called the Creek Road Cafe.
When we were driving home, Rachel called her parents. They were taking the boys to lunch and to go bowling.
Everyone got home as the Steelers game was starting. It was divisional playoff round against the Steelers' rival, the Baltimore Ravens. It was a very tense game, but the Steelers pulled it out at the end. Now the Steelers are in their 4th AFC Championship game in 7 years and 8th since 1994.
For dinner we went to Phara's. The food was really good and the boys were well-behaved.
The boys appear to be asleep now as it has been a late night.
Until next time...

Suzi's with Aunt Susan
Evan and Noah both slept until after 9am. School starts at 9, but I let them sleep in. They needed their sleep. Evan was a little bit crabby. Once we got to school around 10am both boys seemed excited to be there and and didn't give me any trouble.
When I picked Noah up his teacher was reading the book "Going on a Bear Hunt". Noah was very interested in the book. He didn't even notice I came in. When we got to Evan's class they were finishing making igloos. Evan was very proud of his. They used sugar cubes and icing to put them together.
Blanca came at 4 and I tutored until a little after 7pm.
We met Aunt Susan for dinner at Suzi's. We had a nice time and food was really good.
We just put the boys to bed, but both are still awake.

Getting Things Done
Last night Noah was up in the middle of the night. He wasn't going back to sleep, so eventually we just let him cry. Then, Evan came in our room around 4am and he spent the rest of the night in bed with us.
Noah slept late this morning.
I vacuumed and cleaned up some. Then we went to Barnes and Noble for a little bit. After that we went to Newflower.
Gabby came over at 4. I tutored late. Morry and the boys had dinner here while I was tutoring.
I got home around 8:45pm. Noah was asleep but Evan was still up.
Here are pictures from our trip.
I'm hoping to get the video up soon. It's uploading now to YouTube but it takes a long time.

Tucson, AZ
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We just spent the last 4 days in Tucson, AZ visiting my sister. We flew in on Friday night and flew back today (and boy, are our arms tired).
Our first day started off with a shock. That is when Gabrielle Giffords was shot at a "Congress on the Corner" event she was hosting. For those of you that don't know, my sister was featured in a commercial for Gabrielle Giffords during this last campaign. In fact, my sister supports Giffords so much she would have been at that event if we hadn't come in to visit, since it was fairly close to her house. Needless to say, my sister was distraught over the news.
My nephew Quin is Evan's age and they both like the same things. The boys played really well together the entire time. When the Giffords' news broke, we took Quin out for some lunch at a restaurant called Bobo's. It was very good.
We also got to meet my niece, Lennon. She was born in May but unfortunately we have not been able to see her. She is really cute.
On Sunday, we went to the Desert Musuem. The kids seemed to enjoy their time there as well. We saw a friend of mine who lives in Tucson. She met us there.
Monday, we decided to drive up to the Mt. Lemmon Ski Resort. It is about an hour to an hour an a half from Tucson. Our boys have never seen deep snow. Quin hadn't either. They all really loved it. Evan and Noah loved it so much they didn't want to get back in the car - especially Evan. Evan was busy making snowballs and throwing them. We ate lunch up there and got some fudge as well.
Today, we had lunch on the University of Arizona campus. The whole trip was really nice and Evan kept saying he was sad to not be with Quin. It was just nice seeing how much they enjoyed it.
The kids are now in bed.
