School Day for Both Kids

Today Noah slept until about 9am.

I took him to school and then I had a meeting.

I came home in time to eat lunch and then it was time to get Noah from school.

Morry and Noah went to get Evan from school while I tutored.

Gabby came over while I was gone.

I just had one student today and got home around 4:45pm.

For dinner we had pasta.

Evan just finished his homework.  We'll get the boys ready for bed soon.

Gray Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I felt well enough to take Evan to school this morning.  It was cold and Evan told me he wanted me to drive.  He was in a good mood though.

Noah got up a little after I got home.  He, too, was in a good mood.

Around 10:15, we had an air conditioning guy come to look at the system.  Our downstairs air conditioner is not turning on unless I unplug the thermostat and re-plug it in.  Then it will run for a bit.  It seems to work for heat though.  He told us we didn't have enough refrigerant and added some and checked for leaks.  He also felt like we needed a new thermostat.  So we're in the market for a good thermostat now.

Rachel made lunch for Noah and then he was supposed to go to Cole's.  For some reason he said he didn't want to go.  I don't think he's feeling 100%.  He said he wanted to just play sports.  I suggested he take the football to Cole's so he did.  He also wanted me to come to drop him off so I did.

Rachel picked up Noah, dropped him off at the house and then went and got Evan.

Rachel had to tutor late tonight, so after I paid Blanca, I took the boys to McDonald's.  They were well behaved and ate their entire dinners.

We came home and Evan did his homework.

They are in bed now.  Until next time...

Outdoors

This morning I walked Evan to school so that Morry could sleep in some.  When I got home I went for a run.

Noah got up on his own and dressed himself while I was out my run.  Morry, Grandma, Papa, Uncle Mike, Maya, and Aunt Jen were still at home.

I took Noah to school and then came back home and ate breakfast with everyone.

Shortly after that Grandma and Papa drove back to Dallas.

Michael, Jen, Maya, and I walked around Town Lake and then had lunch at Freebirds.  We picked up Noah from school on the way home.

After being home for a little while, Michael, Maya, and I walked to get Evan from school.  Evan was very happy to see Uncle Mike and Maya.  Evan held Uncle Mike's hand some of the way home.

Gabby came over.  Morry took Michael's family to the airport and I left to tutor.

Morry gave the boys dinner.  I got home around 7pm and we ate leftovers for our dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Here are some pictures from today.

Wreck-It Ralph

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan has asked me several times in the last week if we could go see Wreck-It Ralph.  Last night, I looked at the showtimes for this morning.  There was an 8:55 at one theater and a 9:40am at another theater.  The second theater was at the mall and I was hesitant to go there.  The other times would have conflicted with the Steelers game.  I got up early this morning.  I had to wake both boys up.  I had told Noah that if he wanted to go he needed to go to sleep early last night.  When I woke him up, the first thing he told me was that he had gone to bed early the night before.

We were the first ones to buy tickets this morning.  The box office opened a few minutes after we got there. (though they were supposed to open earlier than when we got there)  I had coupons for free Icees with the purchase of a popcorn.  So each boy got popcorn and an Icee.  Evan seemed to really enjoy the movie.  Noah got a bit antsy and had to go to the bathroom at one point, but he liked it.  The movie was very clever.  It was one of the better movies that I have taken the boys to.

We came home just in time for the Steelers game.  The game was not fun.

After the game, Papa took the boys out to play baseball, while I worked some.

Tonight, we had leftovers for dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time..

More Family Fun

Today we had a more relaxing day.  We went out to brunch/lunch at Waterloo.

Late in the afternoon Leah's family and Aaron and Christina came over.

We picked up dinner from Home Slice Pizza.

Evan had a great time playing with Leah's "boys".  Jacob, who is 23, was worn out by Evan and Noah.  They were really tackling each other.

Evan loves playing with the older boys.  He's been having a great time hanging out with older cousins.

Here is a picture from today of Evan and Noah with Leah's boys (Stephen, Jacob, and David).

More Thanksgiving Fun

We had another day of Thanksgiving fun.  Uncle Jay's family came over today.  It was so fun seeing all the kids together.  Ryan played baseball with boys outside for a while.  Everyone had a nice time.

We picked up Rudy's barbecue and ate other Thanksgiving leftovers.

Here are pictures and a video from the last few days.
