Hello everyone, this is Morry.
When I woke Evan up, he was complaining that his neck and back were aching and that he was nauseous. He did not want to go to school. We just weren't sure what to do. He didn't look good so we let him stay home one more day.
Rachel and I took Noah to school.
Rachel had a meeting with a client and then had a dentist's appointment.
Erin and Raychelle left to continue on their bike trip this morning.
When Rachel got home from the dentist, I went into Aaron's.
Noah had Mad Science after school.
Rachel went to tutor and I took care of the boys. Evan is still complaining about being nauseous but he's not achy anymore. He just had fruit for dinner. Noah ate a good dinner.
The boys are watching Inspector Gadget. It's just about over and they will go to bed.
Until next time...

Still Sick
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
I took Evan's temperature when I woke him up this morning. It was a bit over 99 and he just didn't look good so we decided to keep him home from school. Since Erin and Raychelle were here, both Rachel and I took Noah to school.
Last night, I was texting with one of the coaches that I am friendly with from baseball. I thought I remembered that she was a physical trainer. She was the one who told me about Noah being talked about at the draft. I asked her about Evan. She said that she works with kids and the place she works at takes our insurance so Rachel booked an appointment with her for next week. She has worked with Evan as a coach before so I think Evan will really respond to her as part of physical therapy.
I had a meeting that I had to go downtown for in the morning. Rachel stayed home with Evan.
Raychelle and Erin hired an Uber driver and took it downtown to explore for the day.
When I came home, I stopped off at Smoothie King and picked up smoothies for Evan and me.
Rachel went to HEB and then picked Noah up.
Evan seemed to be doing better so all of us went to Hula Hut for dinner. Noah and Evan each had beef fajitas though Evan started to not feel good again and started to get achey so he didn't eat as much as Noah.
Evan is now in the shower trying to feel a bit better. We'll see about school tomorrow.

Sick Evan
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning when I woke Evan up, he told me everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. I felt his head and it felt warm. I took his temperature and he had a fever so he stayed in bed. Rachel took Noah to school while I stayed home with Evan.
I went to Aaron's for just a tiny bit.
When I came home, Rachel went to a lunch at Whole Foods with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls. Evan watched a couple movies. He asked that I bring my laptop and sit with him on the couch and do my work from the couch.
Rachel brought Evan home a smoothie from Smoothie King. He drank it very quickly.
Rachel picked up Noah from school. Later she went to tutor.
While Rachel was tutoring, Uncle Scott's daughter, Erin and her girlfriend came to stay with us. They are biking across the country and they are staying for a few days to catch up on sleep, laundry and showers.
I had to leave shortly after to meet a friend for Happy Hour.
When I came home, Rachel, Erin, Raychelle, and I had dinner. Evan was already in bed. He fell asleep pretty quickly.
Tonight was the draft for the Oak Hill baseball. Noah is not playing this year. I had gotten a couple emails from people asking about Noah and why he wasn't signed up. A coach texted me tonight to say that Noah's name came up and people were all wondering why Noah didn't want to play. This coach wanted me to make sure to tell Noah that people were asking about him. I told him and he seemed happy that people were thinking of him.
Everyone is in bed now.

Orthopedics
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, we walked to school along with Noah. Evan rode his bike with Jack.
Around 10am, we picked Evan up at school. He hurt his knee in football in the fall and is always complaining about it hurting when he puts pressure on it. So if he plants to change direction or if he is on his scooter he complains. We finally made an appointment with a pediatric orthopedic doctor.
The doctor was very very nice. He was good with Evan. They took x-rays and the doctor explained what each bone was to Evan and where it was in him. As Rachel and I suspected, there was no break. Also, the pain Evan was pointing to was lower than his growth plate. The doctor couldn't see anything but hesitates to recommend an MRI just yet. He prescribed 4-6 weeks of physical therapy for Evan. He said it would help him in general because "athletic boys his age are always tight" and this will help him loosen up. So we'll start Evan in therapy.
We dropped him back off at school and came home.
When we went to pick the boys up, Rachel and I drove. Rachel said goodbye to the boys and left to go tutoring. Noah and I walked home and Evan rode his bike home with Jack.
We were talking about Back to the Future this weekend and so Evan and Noah have been doing a Back to the Future marathon. They are on Back to the Future 3. We actually own those on DVD. I think they've really been enjoying them.
I'll be reading with Noah soon and then the boys will go to bed.

Outside
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
When I got up this morning, the boys were playing Legos. They played inside most of the morning until lunch.
After lunch, Evan had a football game. Again, his team didn't play well. Evan had a good game. He caught 4 or 5 passes and ran well on two reverses. On defense and knocked a ball away. He should be proud for playing well despite the team not playing well.
When we got home, I guess Evan decided he hasn't been outside exercising enough. Rachel went for a run and he rode along on his bike. They went over to the streets named after Steelers. Evan was excited because they were on Bettis Trophy Street.
It was Noah's turn to pick a movie today and he wanted to see the fifth Harry Potter. He and I started it just before Evan and Rachel got home. Evan ended up watching it with us.
Rachel made dough for pizza and we made pizza for the boys for dinner.
The boys are in the shower now. They'll go to bed after.

Veloway
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan has been talking about wanting to ride his bike on the Veloway for a while. Rachel told him we could do it today. The biggest issue is that Noah still does not know how to ride a bike. We decided we'd just bring the trail-a-bike on the back of my bike. We took advantage of my car for the size. We put the trail-a-bike and Evan's bike in there and used the nice bike rack that Papa gave to us. It worked out really well. The whole family seemed to have fun.
Shortly after lunch, one of Evan's teammates, Josh, from the Bucs came over with his dad. His dad wanted Rachel to evaluate whether Josh needed to be tutored. Also, Josh's dad wanted to talk to me about a potential project. Rachel tutored Josh for a bit and then Evan and Josh played together. It looked like they had a good time.
After that, Evan played with Christian and Connor.
We went to Costco for a bit to get some fruit for the week. Then we picked up pizza from Home Slice.
The boys are now up in their room.
