Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan wasn't in a very good mood this morning. I think he was very tired.  It took him a while to fall asleep last night.  He was so wired after his game that it was some time before he calmed down.

Noah, who had been getting up somewhat earlier than normal when Zayde was here, slept in today.  Rachel went for a run and then took him to school.  After dropping him off, she ran some errands.

In the early afternoon, Rachel picked Noah up and he was in a good mood when he got home from school.  Rachel got Evan and he, too, was in a good mood.  He was actually kind of hyper.  He told me that he read three chapters of the Captain Underpants book that they have at school.  He was very proud of himself.

I took the boys to the baseball field at 5pm.  Noah's game began at 5:45.  Noah was doing well warming up before the game.  In the bottom of the first, Noah was playing 2nd base.  Noah fielded all three balls that were hit to him.  The other fathers/coaches started calling Noah, "Hoover".  Unfortunately, I didn't see them at all.  One of the kids on Noah's team got sick and didn't end up playing so I was re-arranging the lineup for the 4 innings and trying to make sure that everyone got into the infield.  It's required that every player be in the infield at least once in the first three innings.  I was pretty disappointed, actually.  Noah got a hit in the top of the second and again in the top of the third.  He ran really hard both times.  The one coach turned to me after Noah's second hit and said "You've really got a baseball player there."  I think Noah really enjoyed himself during the game.  He listens so well to the coaches.  They love having him on the team.

After the game, we went with Jack's family to Nutty Brown Cafe.  They had live music playing outside and a huge sandbox.  Evan and Jack played football there with some older boys while Jack's older sister, Audrey, played with Noah.  Audrey is in third grade.  We had a really nice time with everyone.

We came home and put the boys to bed.  Hopefully Evan gets a good night sleep.  He's got a big day tomorrow.

Until next time...
