Quite Cold

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Our walk this morning to school was quite chilly.  It was 28 degrees outside with a 15 mph winds.  A few weeks ago when it was 23 degrees, there was no wind so it didn't feel quite as bad as it felt this morning.

A few days ago, Aaron asked me to fill in for him at a meeting today at HomeAway.  He had a meeting with a different client.  So I drove up there.  I actually had a phone call with Focus Forward when I first got there, and then went to the meeting.  I just listened.  It was more of an introductory meeting.

Rachel and I met at Wholy Bagel afterward.

We decided not to walk to get the boys.  It was still quite cold.  It had only warmed up to just above freezing and it was still windy.  We drove to the community center and then walked from there.

For dinner, we had Papa John's delivered.  We watched a new show on Netflix called The White Rabbit Experiment.  It's a science-type show.  The boys liked it.

They're getting ready for bed now.

Until next time...

More Meetings

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we went to Camp Gladiator after taking the boys to school.  We're definitely getting back into the swing of things.

When we got home, I did some work.   Rachel got cleaned up and left for the north lunch for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.

We had a 1pm and a 2pm meeting at HomeAway.  I suggested to them today that, perhaps, we were having too many meetings.  They did not agree.  I did not anger them, I merely suggested that we collapse the meetings.

Rachel went to tutor after the meetings.

Grandma picked the boys up from school.  I picked them up from her house.

For dinner we had Coke ham.

Evan is doing his batting exercises right now and then the boys will go to bed.

Until next time...

Return to School

School started today, so it was back to our normal routine.  We walked with Lizzy to school.  Lizzy had fun playing with her friend Carlos, the puppy.

I went for a run this morning.

Then, I had a bunch of meetings.  There was a 10am call that I got on and then was told I didn't really need to be on that call.

At 12pm I had to be at Home Away for a training I was running.  That went from 12-2.  Then, there was another meeting at 2pm.  Morry came for the 2:00 meeting.  I left early so that I could get the kids from school.

I drove to school to pick up the boys.  They seemed to be in good moods.

Shortly after getting home, Morry took the boys to TRPD baseball conditioning and catcher's class.

They got home around 7:30 and then we had dinner.  I had the leftover tacos.  Morry and the kids had fried matzoh.

Now, the boys are supposed to be getting ready for bed.

Final Day of Winter Break

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We had Camp Gladiator again this morning.  I felt like it went better this morning than yesterday morning.

Rachel and I both had a HomeAway phone meeting when we got home.  Then Rachel had another call with another of our clients.  I had to step in for Aaron for two additional HomeAway calls.

Rachel and Evan went to Office Depot to get some ways for him to be a bit more organized for school.

Noah went to Jude's in the afternoon.

For dinner we had pre-made pork tacos that Rachel had gotten at Costco.

The boys are about to get ready for bed.

Until next time...

Bike Ride and Football Practice

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel and I got up early to go to Camp Gladiator.  It was our first time since before Christmas Break.  I think it showed.

When we got back I did some work.

Noah started building the robot that Grandmom got him.  It's all built but it's not responding to the iPad commands yet.  I'll need to spend some time with it.

Papa came over and looked at the robot with Noah and then Papa helped Noah try to finish his bike training.  Noah was able to start and stop on his own a few times.  He just needs a little more practice.

Evan played outside with the neighbors.

In the middle of the afternoon, I took Noah to football practice. He's playing flag football for the winter season.  He had a good practice.

Evan had catching practice in the evening.  I made him dinner early and then we went out there.  He also looked good catching.

Rachel and I ate dinner when we got home.

The boys are asleep now.

Until next time...

Happy New Year!

Yesterday, we met the Williams and went downtown for barbecue.  We had lunch at Coopers and then walked around the lake and Auditorium Shores.  The city was setting up for the New Year's party, so we were able to hear some music of a band rehearsing.  It was a nice day.

At night, we met the Edwards at Alamo Drafthouse to see the movie, The Passengers.  We enjoyed that.  We got home around 11pm and Grandma and Papa came over to celebrate New Years.  They stayed until a little after midnight.

Today, we went to the Polar Bear Splash at Barton Springs.  We all jumped into the cold (68 degree) water.

In the afternoon, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marvin had us all over for lunch.

We had a light dinner.

Now, the kids are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures.
