Play date then Baseball

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel and I slept in some again this morning since we didn't have an early baseball game.  Rachel did have to get up at 9:30 as she ended up tutoring the girl who cancelled yesterday.

The boys spent the morning playing with Legos while I did some work.

I made lunch for the boys and then they had to clean up.  As usual, they gave us a bit of a hard time about cleaning up, but they still did it.  Their rooms were a disaster.  They had to stop around 2 as Jack invited them over to play.

After Rachel and I dropped the boys off at Jack's we went out and ran some errands.  When we came home, we still had time before I picked the boys up, so we sat outside on the porch.  We don't often get to do that, but it was nice.  Temperature-wise, it was great.

I picked Evan up at 4 and got him ready for his game.  Noah came with us to warm ups.  When I asked Evan how he hit in the batting cages he responded "Great".  He's definitely feeling good about hitting right now.  The team played fairly listlessly in the first inning, though Evan had a single into shallow right field.  But in the second inning, the team came alive.  In the bottom of the second, Evan was playing catcher.  With two outs there was a hit to the right field.  The outfielder threw it to the second baseman who threw it home to Evan.  The throw was high but Evan jumped for it and in one motion came down to tag the boy out.  The team went crazy with excitement.  That seemed to really energize the team.  In the third inning, Evan was playing third base.  A kid was trying to stretch a double into a triple.  The shortstop threw to Evan covering third and Evan tagged that kid out.  Evan ended up 2-for-2 with two singles.  His second single was a shot up the middle between the 2nd baseman and shortstop.

Rachel left when the game was over to start dinner.  I stayed around while the boys got their snacks after the game.

When we got home, Rachel had made salmon for her and the boys to share.  I made myself a small pork tenderloin.

The boys finished cleaning up, then had showers and now they're in bed.

Until next time...
