Bye Zayde

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was another easy one as Evan was almost hyper after I woke him up.  Evan as we were leaving and he had to say goodbye to Zayde since Zayde was leaving while Evan was in school, Evan teased Zayde about it.

I came home and started to work.  Around 8am, Noah crept down the stairs to try to scare Zayde but Zayde saw him.  Then in a loud whisper I heard Noah say "Let's scare Daddy." I pretended to be scared.

Rachel, Noah and Zayde went to Panera for lunch.  I had a meeting and couldn't join them.  From there they went to Noah's gymnastics class.  Then they took Zayde to the airport.

Rachel got Evan from school today.  When he got home, he told me was "on fire" today when they played football at recess.  He plays with Jack and a boy named Cole from another class.  Other kids join in.

Rachel went to tutor.  I made dinner for the boys since Evan had his first playoff game.

In Evan's league, they play one game tonight.  The winner goes into a double elimination tournament.  The loser goes home.  That boy Cole from recess was on the other team.  Evan was excited to see Cole.   Evan's team won.  It really wasn't very close.  Evan's team held the other team to no runs in the first and third innings.  Evan was two-for-two with two singles.  He hit well after striking out twice last game.  He played third base twice and had no opportunities.  In the fifth inning he was at the pitcher position and threw out a kid there.  In the top of the second, Evan was in right field and a kid hit a sinking line drive.  Evan came in and was right there.  For some reason, he decided to slide to his knees to get it and the ball went just over top of his glove.  He needed to get in front of the ball, but still I thought he almost had it.  He didn't seem to be upset that he missed it.  He never gets mad at himself which is good.   So Evan's team moves on.  They have a game at 11:30am on Saturday.  If they win they play at 2:30 and if they lose they play at 4pm I think.  If they win one game and lose one game, they play again at 5:30.  And he has a flag football game as well.  He's going to be one tired kid.

The boys are in their rooms now.  Rachel and I are just about to have dinner.  It's 9:43pm.

Until next time...
