Season is Over

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Rachel and I slept in a bit.  Evan came into our room a bit after 9 and wanted me to cut up some apples for him.

We decided to take it easy today.  It seemed like a hectic week and Evan had at least one if not two baseball games.  Rachel and Noah were going to go to San Antonio for Tegan's birthday so they were going to have a long day later in the day so we decided to do nothing.

I put on the movie National Treasure for Evan.  Noah eventually came down to watch it.  I think Evan really enjoyed it.

We had apple cinnamon pancakes for lunch.

Around 2:30, Rachel and Noah left for San Antonio.  Evan and I went to Smoothie King and then on to the fields.

In the first game, the team played really well and led for most of the game until the end.  Evan played very well.  He backhanded a ball moving to his right while he was shortstop and as he fell towards third, threw a perfect strike to second base for the force.  He also played a bunch of first base and made some nice stops.  Unfortunately because we lost, we had to play a second game 10 minutes after the first game.

Again, Evan played a good game and again the team led early only to lose steam at the end.  Evan fielded a ball behind second base, stepped on second and threw on to first for the double play.  When he was at first base, he fielded a ball to his right and turned and threw a perfect ball to second for another force.  He made a really big stretch as a first baseman.  In fact I didn't know he could stretch like that.  When the game was over and we lost Evan was really crying.  He absolutely hates to lose.

We went to Rudy's after the game because that's what Evan wanted.  Rachel said she had picked me up a surprise for dinner on the way home.  Ironically, she picked up Cooper's Barbeque which is my favorite on the way home.  So we have a lot of barbeque at home.  I really enjoyed the Cooper's.

The boys are in their rooms now.

Until next time...
