Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was very cold this morning but Evan wanted to ride his bike. Noah, Rachel and I drove. We brought Noah's scooter along with us so he could ride it home when it was warmer in the afternoon.
We went to Wholy Bagel for lunch. It wasn't as crowded as last week for some reason.
Lizzy came with us to pick up the boys. Evan rode his bike home with Jack and Noah rode his scooter home.
Evan had football practice later in the afternoon.
When practice was over, we drove the boys to a bouncy house place that was having an Parents Night Out. The kids could play and they provided pizza, popcorn and juice.
Rachel and I went downtown and had Asian food at a place called Imperia. It was pretty good. We had a Groupon for it. Then we walked to Le Cafe Crepe and had dessert crepes.
We had a bit of time to kill so we stopped at Barnes and Noble.
When we picked up the boys they said they had a great time.
Until next time...

French Legation Museum
Hello Everyone, this is Morry.
While it said this morning's temperature was just two degrees colder than when we walked yesterday, it sure felt much colder. The wind was very severe. But we walked. Well, Rachel and I walked. Evan rode his bike and Noah rode his scooter.
We drove to get the kids. It actually got colder throughout the day. Actually, Noah was staying for Mad Science so we were getting Evan. Evan rode his bike home and we took Noah's scooter back. Evan was able to take a shortcut back while we had to drive on the streets. Amazingly, we arrived home at pretty much the same time.
Evan told us about his field trip today. Last night he had told me he was going to the French Legation Museum. I thought to myself, wow, they really picked a boring place for field trips. I thought back to my own experiences with field trips where we constantly went to colonial stuff in Philadelphia. Back then I found it really boring. I figured Evan would have the same experience here. But he couldn't stop talking about it. He told us everything he learned. He absolutely loved it. It was great.
The boys had pasta for dinner and we had leftovers from last night.
Noah is reading with Rachel right now.

Bike or Walk
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
There is only one bus that delivers kids to the school where Evan and Noah go. The rest of the students at the school must walk or be driven to school. Apparently, though, more people are driven to school than any other school in the Austin School District. I guess all the other parents are lazy (but I'm not judging) and drive instead of walk. But seriously, the district decided to start a thing. For every kid that walks or bikes into school and came down one of the trails, they got a raffle ticket and a sticker to wear at school. They will do this every Wednesday in February. The winner of the raffle gets a new bike.
So this morning, Evan rode his bike and Noah took his scooter. We saw people walking or biking to school that I had never seen before in my life.
I had a client come over for a meeting this morning.
In the afternoon, Lizzy, Rachel and I picked up the boys. One of the girls who loves Lizzy, Savannah, would let go of Lizzy when her mom said it was time to go. She just held on to Lizzy and hugged her. Lizzy loved it.
Rachel made chicken and fish covered with panko breadcrumbs and chorizo for dinner tonight. I ate the chicken and she had the fish. Neither boy would try it. It was pretty good.
The boys are about to go up to bed.

Rain is Back
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
A cold rainy day was predicted for today. The forecasters were right. It wasn't raining when we took the boys to school but it was threatening so we drove.
I went into Aaron's for a little bit. On the way home, I stopped at the bank.
It was raining pretty hard when we went to pick the boys up. We still drove to the trail, but the pick up required us to go into the school and pick the boys up at their classrooms.
By the time we got back home, it had stopped raining. The boys insisted on going outside and playing after they finished their homework.
Rachel made pulled pork for dinner and baked potatoes. Both were very good.
The boys are getting ready for bed.

Celebrity
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We drove to school this morning because it was too cold to walk.
Around lunchtime, Rachel left to meet with a client about SEO and Google Adwords. I worked from home all day long.
We walked to pick the boys up from school. We brought Lizzy with us. As we got there, a mom walked by and commented about how good Lizzy is. Then she said that Lizzy "is a celebrity around here". She was talking about all the kids wanting to pet Lizzy.
The boys did their homework when we got home. Then Rachel went to tutor and Evan had football practice. Noah came with Evan me.
Rachel won't be home until late from tutoring, so the boys and I ate without her when we got home.
The boys are watching The Simpsons right now.

Lots of Football
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We took it easy this morning. The boys watched a movie we had gotten at Redbox last night.
After lunch, Evan had a football game. Rachel and Noah went to a Wonders and Worries party at a bowling alley. Noah had his face painted and got to bowl. Rachel and Noah had their picture taken, and Noah made filled a jar with small Nerds-like candy in layers of color.
Evan's game did not go well. His team, unfortunately, is not very good. Evan caught a few passes and had a nice run.
We came home and the boys cleaned up and then went outside and played with Connor and Christian.
We all sat down to watch the Super Bowl, though Rachel didn't watch the whole thing. Evan was upset about the result of the Super Bowl. They are now in bed.
