Food Trailer Night

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

When we left to go to school this morning, it was kind of misting.  We decided we weren't going to really get wet so we completed the walk to school.

I went into Aaron's for a bit.  Rachel went to Target later in the morning and then we met at Wholy Bagel.

We started to walk to get the boys.  Just as we turned the corner from our house, it started to rain hard.  So we put Lizzy back in the house and drove to school.  Noah went home with his friend, Owen.

It dried up in time for the community food trailer night.  We got there just after it started and didn't have to wait in any lines for the food.  Noah had several friends that were there and he went off and played with him.  Evan joined in for some time and played with other kids as well.  At the end he played football with much older kids.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Coffee

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It looked like it might rain this morning.  It held out long enough for us to walk to school and then for Rachel to walk with a friend from school to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.  Rachel has befriended the mother of Noah's friend, Owen.  They planned to walk from the drop off to coffee.  They had a tiny bit of rain on the walk back home, but not enough to get them wet.

I left to meet a potential client at a coffee shop and then I went to get my hair cut.  I stopped at Smoothie King on the way home.

We walked to get the boys.

The boys didn't have any activities and Rachel didn't tutor in the afternoon.

We had cheesy foldovers for dinner and now the boys are showering.

Until next time...

Field Day Part 2 and Avengers

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The rain last night was very intense.  It rained hard for a long time.  But, by the time we walked to school it, it had dried enough and it was no problem walking.

Rachel went for a run in the morning and then stopped at Evan's Track and Field Day.  She said that Evan seemed to have a good time.  Rachel got to talk to Evan's teacher some.  His teacher really likes Evan which is nice.

We had someone come to clean our dryer vent around lunch.

We walked to get the boys.  It had really warmed up and the humidity came with the rain last night so it felt pretty gross.

Around 3:30, Deborah came over and all of us went to go see the Avengers.  I had already purchased the tickets for us to see it in IMAX 3D.  I kept teasing Noah that when Ironman fired his fireballs it was going to burn Noah's shirt off.  At the end of the movie, he told me Ironman hadn't shot anything his direction.  Rachel wasn't going to come with us but her tutoring was cancelled so she was able to watch the movie with us.  She hadn't seen the first Avengers or really any of the Marvel movies so I had to catch her up.

When we came home, Deborah worked on Lizzy a bit.  She left and then we had dinner.

The boys are in bed now.

Until next time...

Field Day

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We walked to school this morning.  The boys were both in good moods.

Today was Track and Field Day at school for K-2 kids.  All the classes go outside and do various athletic type activities.  Parents are invited to come watch some of them.  I wasn't able to go, but Rachel went this morning and watched Noah.  I think Noah enjoyed having Rachel there.

Rachel had to pick Noah up a bit early from school today as both she and Noah had dentist appointments.  No cavities were found on this trip so the dentist missed out on making more money from us.  But everyone loved Noah and thought he was a very good patient.

I walked to get Evan.  Since it was just me, I left Lizzy home.

Evan and I went to baseball practice.  It looked like it might rain as we left the house.  I picked Miles up on the way.  About an hour into practice we saw several flashes of lightning so we cut practice short.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

Five Weeks Left

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

There are only five school weeks left in the year.  We officially started the countdown this morning.  As of this morning there were 23 days left of school.  We are keeping track on the white board in the laundry room.

We walked to school as normal this morning.  As we were walking, we bumped into a woman with a 7-month old golden retriever.  We think this is one of the golden retriever puppies that Lizzy had seen a few months ago.  Lizzy and the puppy were so excited to see each other.  It's funny to watch Lizzy.  Even after walking away from the puppy, Lizzy walks with a trot and even pulls on the leash some.

I went into Aaron's today.  On the way home, I stopped at Smoothie King, the bank and HEB.

Rachel and I walked to get the boys.  Evan was invited to over to Wade's so Rachel and Noah walked him to the front of the school.  I decided to meet Rachel and Noah on the trail near the Community Center since that's closer to the front of the school.  A whole new set of kids got to meet Lizzy and pet her.

Rachel took Noah out to ride a bike this afternoon when we got home.

Rachel went to tutoring and I grilled steak and salmon for the boys for dinner.

The boys are about to go to bed and Rachel should be home soon.

Until next time...

No Baseball This Weekend

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I'll try to catch everyone up quickly.  Two kids couldn't make it this weekend so we pulled out of the tournament that we were supposed to play in.  So we decided to go to a "Hit Night" at a local baseball academy.  Basically, they have two or three coaches and it's $20/kid for an hour and a half of working solely on hitting.  6 of the 9 Bucs came.  Just as we were about to leave, though, Noah said he wanted to go.  So Noah came to Hit Night.

All the Bucs were very good to Noah and they all cheered for him while he was hitting.  I think the whole experience was good for Noah.  They played two hitting games at the end.  Evan won both games.

On the way home, I stopped with the boys at Via 313 - a new pizza place near us to get dinner for Rachel and me.  It took 45 minutes to get our pizzas, though so the boys and I didn't get home until nearly 9:30 and so Rachel and I ate late.

On Saturday, the boys and I went to see Paul Blart.  The boys enjoyed it though they both agreed the first one was better.  We stopped at Barnes & Noble so the boys could use gift certificates they had gotten for their birthday.

Rachel and I went to an open house in our neighborhood to look for a house for Grandma and Papa.  It was nice.

In the evening, Rachel and I went to a Persian restaurant.  We had never been.  It was pretty good.  Then we went to see Insurgent.  We both enjoyed it.  Blanca babysat.

Today, Rachel and I both slept in.  After lunch, we took the boys to the pool.  It opened this weekend.  I don't think people knew it had opened up because there was barely anyone there.  The water was still pretty cold.  Our neighbors ended up coming so Evan and Noah played with Brody there for a while.

We went to Costco to get food for the week later in the afternoon.  The boys ate their dinner there.

The boys are cleaning up now.  They should be finished soon so they can have their showers and go to bed.

Until next time...
