Day 3: No Rachel (First Baseball Practice)

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This was our last day without Rachel. She returned around 10pm this evening.

The boys were up around 8am and very loud. They were playing loudly and at one point Evan had made Noah upset and was really needling Noah to make the situation worse. I pretended not to hear.

When I got up, I brought the boys downstairs and got them breakfast. Evan wanted green eggs so I made them for him. He ended up sharing some with Noah.

When Grandmom got up, we had to get going. I sold our Longhorns tickets to the game today and had to meet the guy at 11:45. Once I sold the tickets we went to Wendy's for lunch.

We came home and Noah and Grandmom stayed at the house while I took Evan to his first baseball practice of the season. It was night and day from last season. Last season, of the 13 kids, there were only 5 kids who had never played. There were 7 kids at today's practice (5 could not make it) and of those 7 there today, only Evan had played before. The coach really spent time working on the basics which was good. Evan seemed to have a really good time. He was really racing around the bases. He looked much improved. I was third base coach for a bit and Evan asked if I could stay as third base coach. They have practice again on Sunday and Monday. Evan is already looking forward to practice.

After practice, we came home and I showered. Then we went to Toys R Us and got Legos for the boys. Despite Evan throwing a fit, we went to Red Lobster for dinner. Evan loves Red Lobster so I'm not sure why he was throwing a fit. We got him a smoothie and then he was back to a good mood and ate a ton of crab as always.

We came home and I gave the boys a bath. They were pretty grimy. Evan was still awake by the time Rachel came home.

Until next time...
