25 Meters

This morning I went for a run.  The boys didn't want to come with me, so they stayed at home with Morry.

We had lunch and then went to the Little Gym for Noah's sports class.

After, we went to the gym to go swimming.  First, the boys swam inside.  When we went outside I asked Evan if he wanted to take the swim test.  At the gym, they have a 25-10 rule.  If a kid can't swim 25 meters you have to be within 10 feet of them at all time.  I would stay that close to the kids anyway, but it's still a big deal when a kid passes and gets to wear a wrist band each time at the pool.  Anyway,  Evan did it!  He swam a lap (25 meters) without stopping.  I could tell he was getting tired at the end. The lifeguard and I were cheering him on a long the way.  Evan was in the outermost lap.  Evan was very proud of himself for swimming that far.  We spent a little more time in the outside pool.   Evan went down the slides a lot.  Noah had fun jumping in a swimming to me.

We took it easy at home this afternoon.

Morry played baseball for just a little bit with the boys before dinner. 

Morry still isn't feeling well.

For dinner we had skewered chicken on the grill, with rice, and corn on the cob.

Morry is reading to the boys now before bed.

Back to the Gym

I dropped of Noah at school today and went for a run.

Morry and I decided to join the gym again.  We took Evan there today.  Morry and I did a Yoga class while Evan went to the Kids Club.  After Yoga Evan and I played some basketball in the gym.  Morry went home since he had a phone meeting.

Evan and I picked up Noah from school and then came home and ate lunch.

I got dinner ready and made juice in the juicer today.

Morry started not feeling well this afternoon. It turns out he has a little bit of a fever.  For dinner, I made a sandwich for me since Morry wasn't eating.  We'll use the food I prepared for dinner tomorrow.

The boys are just about ready for bed.

Another Dallas Trip

We were in Dallas from Thursday until today.

Papa got tickets to the Texas Rangers baseball game so that is why we came in town.

We had a nice visit.

Papa, Morry, Evan, and Noah went to the Rangers game last night.

We saw Sherah and her boys Friday night.  We took it easy the rest of the time.

We got back to Austin this afternoon.  We went to HEB and picked up groceries for the week along with already prepared food for dinner for tonight.

The boys are in bed now.

Dmitriy

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Both boys slept for a while this morning.  Noah slept in a bit later but got up in time for school.  He ate breakfast fine but then decided to be tough when it came time to take his medicine.  It seemed to be tied into who was taking him to school.  He agreed to allow me to give him his medicine and take him to school.

Later that morning we had a parent-teacher conference for Noah.  The school has two scheduled a year.  The second one used to be in May but they pushed it back to July.  Basically it's an end-of-year wrap up.  She told us some things that we didn't know.  She said that Noah spends time with a group of kids and that when he spends time with them, he's the leader.  She said that he is independent, in that, if he doesn't want to do what they are doing, he just doesn't do it.  She said that she felt like even that was a leadership quality.  We were pleased to hear that.

The boys seemed excited to be reunited when Rachel picked Noah up from school.

Today is my friend Dmitriy's 40th birthday.  So we had Gabby come over at 6 so we could go to a little party for Dmitriy.  He had it a Highball which is a combination bar/restaurant/bowling alley.  You reserve a lane, you don't pay per game.  And they have a waiter that brings you a food - as you order from a full menu.  There were several people from StoredIQ there.

When we got home, the boys were in bed.  Noah was sleeping and Evan was close to falling asleep.

Until next time...

Sports Class and Cole

Grandma drove back to Dallas around 9:30am today.

Morry, Evan, and I took Noah to sports class.  He had fun there and seemed to be feeling better.

When we got home Noah's friend Cole came over.  The boys had fun playing together and Cole didn't want to leave.

I worked on cleaning out the garage today.  I got one shelving until done.  There's still a lot more to go.

For dinner we had chicken and couscous.

We took a walk after dinner.

The boys are almost ready for bed.  Noah's throwing a fit about something and doesn't want to brush his teeth.

Bris and Bats

Today Noah slept until 10am so I didn't take him to school.

I had Gabby come over so we could go to the bris.  We gave Evan the option of coming with us or staying with Gabby and he chose to stay home.

We went to Aaron and Mandy's place for Jeremy's  bris.  Morry had the job of holding the baby during the bris.  He did well. :)  The bris and hanging out with everyone was nice.

For dinner, we ate pasta at home.

Tonight we went on a bat cruise with Wonders and Worries.  The weather was nice and we got to see the bats come out from under the bridge.

Morry's reading to the boys now and then they'll go to bed.
