Outside

Today was a beautiful day.  The high temperature was 86 degrees.  We spent a lot of time outside.

Late morning, we met Deborah and Christina and her kids for a hike.  We went to McKinney Roughs Nature Park near Bastrop, TX.  We hiked about 4.5 miles with many stops.  We spent some time at the creek skipping rocks.

On the way home we got Slurpees at 7-11.

We took it easy at home for a little and then Morry and Evan went to baseball practice at 4:30.  After the practice they picked up food for Lizzy at Petco.  Then, Grandma, Papa, Noah, and I met them for dinner at Backspin.  The food was good and the boys ate well.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from today and yesterday.

Terrific Student

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Last night, Evan stayed over Jack's house with Wade and Ethan.  Noah stayed over at Grandma and Papa's.  So Rachel and I went out.  We had a nice dinner.  We walked to a place called Voodoo Doughnuts.  Apparently it is a Portland, Oregon institution and the first one they opened out of state was here in Austin.  They are known for their crazy doughnuts.  They were huge too.  Rachel got one with chocolate icing, peanut butter drizzle and Oreos on top.  I got one with chocolate icing and Oreos.

This morning we had to get up early.  Even though it's Saturday, Noah's teacher scheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences.  The teacher wanted the students there for the conference.  We picked up Noah on our walk and then had the conference.  Noah's teacher said that Noah was a "terrific student" and that Noah was a "math genius".  She wanted to know if Noah had anyone that was good at math in his family.  We said only his entire family.  She could not say enough good stuff about Noah.

On the way home, we stopped and got Evan.

Evan and I went a little later to a batting lesson with Coach Chris.  Meanwhile, Rachel, Noah and Grandma went to Costco.

This afternoon, Rachel and Evan went for a bike ride to the Veloway.

For dinner, I picked up Pho Thai Son.  When I got home, they got the order somewhat wrong.  So Noah and I went out to pick up the mistake.  We watched Hotel Transylvania 2 while having dinner.

The boys are now in bed.

Until next time...

Getting Nice

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Again it was cold this morning on the walk to school.  The difference today was that it was very sunny.  By the afternoon it was 70 degrees.

I went into Aaron's.  We had a meeting with a client.

Rachel met Noah for lunch.  She said he was really happy that Rachel was there.

The walk to and from school to get the boys was very nice.  It felt like spring.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.  While Rachel was gone, I played football in the front yard with Evan.

For dinner, we had leftovers from the last two nights.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Welcome Home Van

This morning we walked the boys to school and then I went to Howdy Honda to pick up my car.  So far, everything seems fixed.

Deborah came over later in the morning and hung out/ did some work until it was time to get the boys from school.

We walked to pick up the boys and Jack from school.

I tutored Jack and Audrey.

For dinner we had grilled chicken, soup, and cornbread.

Soon, the boys will get ready for bed.

Surprise! It's JW

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The temperature said it was in the mid-40s this morning but it really felt quite cooler.  It was threatening to rain and the wind was blowing.  We did walk to school though.

I went to Aaron's to work on some HomeAway stuff today as well as another different project.

Rachel had her early tutoring today so she didn't come to pick up the boys.  It was raining at pick up time so I drove.  It was also the first Math Pentathalon of the year.  Evan did his homework in the hallway while I helped.  The girls I helped this time were much better behaved so it was more pleasant.  I was not able to help with Noah, but Owen's mom did.  She said that Noah is really fast with math.

When we came home, I got a text from JW.  He said that he was in town for work and wanted to stop by.  I didn't even know he was in town.  So he came by for about 30 minutes.  We just talked and hung out.  It was nice.

For dinner, we had a sirloin steak with marinated with a teriyaki sauce and cooked on the grill.  The boys ate a ton of it.

They are about to get ready for bed.

Until next time...

Recovering

I'm recovering from my big run yesterday.  I'm a little sore today.

We walked to school and then I just walked on the treadmill for a little bit.

Later, I went to a physical therapist for a massage.

We walked to get the kids from school.  They were in good moods.

It was really warm today.  The temperature reached the 70s.

I didn't have to tutor this afternoon so we just took it easy at home.

For dinner we had hamburgers.

Morry just ran out to return the Redbox movie.

When he gets back the kids will get ready for bed.
