Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I mentioned this before but with Evan not in school, he's sleeping later and therefore getting up later. The boys got up at 9am today. I helped Evan put together the Legos that Grandmom bought him yesterday.
For brunch we went to a place called Cafe Java. We hadn't been there before. It was up in North Austin, but we figured we'd try it out. Both Rachel and I enjoyed our food.
When we came home, I did a bit of work while the boys played both with some football toys that Grandmom bought as well as the iPad and iPhone.
At 4pm, Matt, Rachael and Max came over. Max liked playing with Evan and Noah since they were the big kids.
Rachel met Melissa for dinner, while the rest of us went to Johnny Carino's.
When we got home I put the boys to bed. They are still up though. Rachel came home a bit ago.
Until next time...

Boys with Grandmom
I dropped Noah off at school and then went to tutoring and a meting. Evan and Grandmom spent the day together. They went toy shopping.
I picked up Noah, came home to eat lunch, and then went out for another meeting. The boys stayed home with Grandmom.
Evan had his first basketball practice today. Morry said he did well and seemed to enjoy it.
After the practice they came home and picked up Noah and Grandmom and went to eat dinner at Red Lobster.
We just got the boys ready for bed and Morry is reading to them now.

More Baseball and Grandmom
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
The boys woke up late again this morning - around 9am. Evan has been going to sleep much later than he does when school is in and therefore he is sleeping later. He's going to have a tough day on Monday when he goes back to school.
Rachel was tutoring again for the girl who she tutored for yesterday. She brought both Evan and Noah this time and they both brought their baseball gloves. They played with the 5-year-old. Then they played Legos with her as well.
From there, they went to Noah's gymnastics. While they were at the Little Gym, Grandmom came in. Grandmom rented a car and drove over to the Little Gym and was able to see Noah.
In the afternoon, Rachel had an MB Squared thing to do.
I was at a client's today and I got home a bit before 5pm. We needed to leave almost right away to go to another lesson for Evan. Grandmom and Noah came with us.
Evan did very well. This lesson was split between throwing, hitting and fielding. The coach had only seen Evan hit before today. Evan did well throwing initially, and then did pretty well at hitting. The coach said he has a nice swing - that he just needs to keep working on aligning his feet and keeping his head down. Then he had Evan field ground balls and throw them to a target. The coach was very impressed. He was actually kind of laughing he was smiling so much at Evan's fielding. When Evan was done, he said to me that Evan's fielding is better than the 10-year-olds he works with. He said he didn't have to correct him once and that his foot work is good as he fields the ball and turns to throw.
After that, we got dinner at Trudy's. We picked up food for Rachel.
The boys are now in bed.
Until next time...

Texas-Style Sledding
This morning both boys slept lats. Noah woke up a little before 9am and Evan woke up about 9am. That's pretty late for Evan. I think they were still recovering from New Year's Eve.
We dropped Noah off at school (his first day back), and Evan came with me to tutoring. The house where I tutor has a little girl in kindergarten.
At my tutoring, Evan started out just playing with their Legos while the girl played in her room, but later they went outside and next thing I knew they were playing baseball. I'm sure that was Evan's idea. It seemed like they had a good time and the family said they would like me to bring the boys tomorrow too while I tutor.
I told Evan we could get a special snack after tutoring if he was good. He wanted to go to Rita's but when we drove up they were closed (not open yet). We went across the street to a frozen yogurt place and Evan picked out his on concoction of sour apple frozen yogurt, fruit, and a few candy pieces.
We can home for a little while, but I could tell Evan was bored. He kept asking what/where we could go. I decided to take him to the park and try sledding down the dry hill on cardboard. I had done that before as a kid and thought maybe he would enjoy it.
He loved it! We did that until it was time to get Noah.
After picking up Noah we went to the bank so the kids could put their own money into their bank accounts.
At home Evan and I ate lunch while Noah played Wii.
We took it easy this afternoon.
Morry got home around 6:30 and we made dinner. We had pork tenderloin, couscous, and veggies.
Morry and the boys are reading now and then they'll go to bed.
Here's a picture and video from today.

First day of 2013
Last night was nice and the boys all did well. They slept until about 8:30am.
Morry made pancakes and bacon for breakfast. Jack's dad came around 11am to pick him up.
I took the boys in the cul-de-sac for a while. They rode bikes and played with acorns.
Later in the day Morry took the boys out front to play baseball.
Morry, Evan, and Noah watched the movie Paranorman while I took a nap.
For dinner we had leftovers from last night.
Morry is reading to the boys now.
Noah has school tomorrow, but Evan's school doesn't go back until Monday.

Happy New Year
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning was a normal workday for me. I got up and helped Noah get his breakfast. Evan actually got up later than Noah did. They played Wii for a while while I worked.
Later in the morning, Rachel took the boys to run some errands. When Rachel got home, she cleaned. We had Jack and his family over for New Year's Eve.
When I got done working I rolled out pizza dough and pre-baked it so that it would cook faster when we were going to eat. We let everyone put their own toppings on several pizzas and baked them.
As soon as Jack and his family got here, all the kids immediately ran upstairs to play. Jack and Evan hadn't seen each other since school ended. We had appetizers and talked with John and Randa. Then we had the kids make their pizza and eat. When they were all done, we put on a movie upstairs for the kids and then made our pizzas and ate them.
The kids were super wild and didn't seem to be slowing down at midnight. We said Jack could stay over. John, Randa and Audrey went home.
All three boys are in bed, but not asleep yet. Hopefully they go to sleep soon.
Until next time...
