Noah's Big Run

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

We had nothing scheduled this morning.  There was no baseball, no football, no half-marathons.  Rachel and I slept in some.  I don't know what time the boys got up.

Rachel did go for a run in the morning, but much later.

We all had lunch and then Evan and I took Noah to his football game.  He had to be there 30 minutes ahead of time to warm up.

Grandma, Papa and Rachel showed up in time for the game.  The game was a close game.  In the second half, they handed off to Noah.  He immediately ran face first into the largest kid on the other team.  Noah's face hit the kid in the chest.  The boy seemed to wrap his arms around Noah.  I started screaming that this kid was tackling Noah.  Strangely the kid didn't grab Noah's flag.  Noah pushed off of the kid, bounced backwards and then flew down the sideline.  He was running really fast.  The defender from the other side of the field ran across the field and had the angle on Noah.  Had Noah cut back under the defender he would have had a touchdown.  But the kid was able to make barely get Noah's flag after Noah had run 3/4 of the length of the field.  Everyone had been screaming Noah's name - "Go Noah!"  It was a great run.  Especially since Noah never stopped running and pushed that kid away.  I told him the only thing that would have been better is if he knocked the kid flying like Jerome Bettis.  Unfortunately, Noah's team lost.  Despite being 1-3 they are one play in each game away from being 4-0.  They're pretty good.

The boys and Rachel cleaned up in the afternoon while I did some work.

For dinner, we made grilled Vietnamese pork over rice noodles.  It was really good.

The boys are going to be now.

Until next time...
