The Nutcracker

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We didn't have any plans for today which was nice.  The boys started playing downstairs around 8 in the morning.  I finally came downstairs around 9.

Evan told me he wanted to watch Harry Potter.  Apparently, he started reading the first book and wanted to see the movie.  So in the afternoon, we put it on the TV and I made some popcorn.  The boys didn't finish it before we had to leave.

Aaron had told me that his son, Jeremy, was asking to see Evan and Noah.  I asked if they'd like to go to dinner with us prior to going to see the Nutcracker.  He suggested we go to a place called the 24 Diner.  Jeremy sat next to Evan.  Evan entertained Jeremy much of the dinner.  It was nice.

Then we drove over to see the Nutcracker.  Jack's sister Audrey played one of the mice in it.  It was done well.  The boys got a bit bored towards the end, but it was nice to support Audrey and to let the boys experience something new.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Until next time...

Busy Bagel Shop

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was still really wet outside this morning so we decided to drive to take the boys to school.

Around lunch we decided to go Wholy Bagel.  I was busy so we didn't get to leave until just after noon.  And we needed to be back by 1.  But it's close and normally it's very close.  Being gone an hour is pretty standard.  When we got there, we had to wait in line and there were a bunch of people waiting for orders they already placed.  It is very unusual.  There are times where we are the only people in there.  I don't know what was going on today.  By the time we got our food it was nearly 12:45 and we had to get home.

It warmed up to close to 80 degrees today so we walked to get the boys.

For dinner, we ordered food from China Dynasty.

The boys are up in their rooms now.

Until next time...

Sick Rachel

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel seems to have a cold.  It could be a reaction from the flu mist she got the other day.  She did come us to go to school this morning.  It was raining (or misting really) this morning so we drove.

I ran some errands around lunch.  I went to the bank, picked up some propane at HEB and went to Smoothie King.

We drove to pick the boys up from school.

For dinner, I grilled steaks and Rachel made her self tilapia.  The boys asked me to make their steak kind of spicy like I make my steak.  At first Evan said he didn't like it spicy but then he ate a ton of it.

The boys took their showers and are in their room.

Until next time...

Busy Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was warm enough for us to walk with Lizzy.  She seemed very happy to leave with us.  Whenever we don't take her, she just stares at us as we leave the house.

I had to run to do some Hey Cupcake things around mid-morning then stopped in at Aaron's.

I didn't make it home in time to pick the boys up from school, so Rachel went to get them.

In the afternoon, Rachel left to tutor.  The boys played Minecraft for a while and now are upstairs doing something that seems loud.  But they are not fighting so I have not gone up to stop it.

Rachel stopped at HEB on her way home.  She is there now.  We're going to have some left over tortilla soup when she gets home.

Until next time...

Flu Mist

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was pretty cold this morning so we decided to drive.  I think Lizzy was upset that we didn't take her today.

Neither Rachel nor I left the house while the kids were at school.

We walked to pick the boys up from school.  This time we brought Lizzy.

Rachel tutored Audrey in the afternoon.

Just before dinner, Rachel and the boys went to Austin Regional Clinic and got the flu mist.  I'm glad they got that taken care of.

For dinner Rachel made tortilla soup.

Noah is reading with Rachel now.  Then the boys will go to bed.

Until next time...

Back To School

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we walked to school this morning, it was humid and in the mid-60s.  It was a pretty simple walk to school.  Shortly after Rachel and I got home, the temperature dropped into the 40s.

Rachel had a check up with her oncologist.  It all went well.  I went into Aaron's for a bit.

I wasn't able to get home in time to get the boys.  Rachel drove to pick them up.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.

For dinner we had pasta.  Evan ate very well.

Noah and Rachel are reading right now.

Until next time...
