Football and Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The boys got up some time after 8am. Since yesterday was a long, exhausting day, I thought they may sleep in, but they didn't really.

Rachel had a luncheon to go to for the Breast Cancer Resource Center. She left around 11am for that. I made pancakes for the boys and me for our brunch.

After eating the pancakes, we all settled in to watch the Steelers game. Unfortunately, the game was really really bad - one of the worst I can remember in a long time. The boys didn't mind. They were having a good time. Evan had me throwing the football to him. I was leading him and he'd dive to get the football. (It was a stuffed football)

Rachel came home around 2pm and laid down.

At 2:30, Evan and I left for his first tee ball game of the season. It was really hot out, about 100 degrees. It felt gross. Evan was pretty tired initially but he got excited when the game started. He batted third and he played right-center, shortstop and pitcher. He loved playing pitcher. Last season, only the older boys who really knew how to field got to play pitcher. I think he took it as an honor that he got to play there. He did really well. He fielded every ball that game to him. He was running off the mound fast to get it. That's something new that he didn't do last season. He's really progressed well.

Rachel and Noah came towards the end of the game. I drove the boys home while Rachel went to tutor. We stopped and got Powerade on the way home.

At home, I led the boys in cleaning up. It did not go well.

For dinner, Rachel stopped and picked up Papa John's. They now charge to deliver. It's very expensive there.

We gave the boys baths and they are in their rooms now.

Until next time...
