Evan

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

The day today seemed to be about Evan.  It started around 6am.  I was sleeping and I woke up to "Daddy, Daddy".  Evan was standing next to me at the bed.  He wanted to tell me he lost his 4th tooth. I think he woke up and it was about to come out so he pulled it out.

Rachel got up shortly after.  The Pink Ribbon Cowgirls were putting on a group garage sale to benefit the family of the woman who died a few months ago.  Since we hadn't sold everything, Rachel wanted to go bring some of the stuff over to donate and help out a bit.  She left the house around 7:30am.

I got up around 8:30 and got ready to take Evan to his first flag football practice of the season.  Noah got up around 9.  I got the boys ready and we left.  Evan seemed to really enjoy playing.  The boys all seemed nice, as did the parents.  The don't have the team name yet, but it appears it may be the Steelers.  Evan is very excited (so am I).

The practice lasted nearly an hour and a half. We came home after it and Rachel had lunch ready.  We all ate.  Rachel laid down for a nap while I did some work and the boys played on the Wii.  It's pretty muddy in our backyard from the rain we've been having.

At 4:00, I got Evan ready for his baseball game.  Noah and Rachel left to go help clean up from that garage sale.  They offered to pick up the leftover kids stuff.  Tomorrow we'll bring it to a second hand store and sell it and give the money to the family.

Evan had an absolutely great game today.  I guess having the practice in the morning didn't wear him out.  It started out when he was playing in left center.  The ball was hit to the fence.  He ran out and from the fence, threw over second base almost to the pitcher on the fly.  The pitcher grabbed it and it held the hitter to a triple.  In the bottom of the inning he got a solid hit which stayed in the infield but it was to deep short so the shortstop had no play.  In the top of the next inning, Evan was playing second.  He fielded a ground ball and fired a bullet to first for the out.  He almost got another out as he charged a short fly ball that the pitcher almost got and picked up and threw to first.  The next at bat he really hit a a long fly ball.  Unfortunately, the other team had their best fielder in left center and he caught the ball.  The bases were loaded at the time.  It would have cleared the bases.  His final at bat, he smacked a line drive that went between short and third and rolled to the fence for a double.  He seemed to really have a good time.

From baseball, we went to Cafe Express for dinner.  The boys ate ok there.

We're home now and the boys went quickly to bed.  I think they may already be asleep.

Until next time...
