Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Before I talked about what happened today, Rachel suggested I talk a bit about Evan's games yesterday.  Evan has been playing especially well in the last few weeks.  In particular, he's hitting the ball hard every time.  Yesterday, those hard hits finally paid off in the form of a triple.  He had hit a ball very hard earlier in the day to deep center but this one was a line drive that was so hard hit down into left field that it rolled all the way to the corner and Evan ended up with a triple.  While he was playing catcher, only one run scored (on an error) and only one kid tried to steal on Evan. The ball was in the dirt so Evan had to block it and wasn't able to make a throw.  At third base, Evan fielded a ball towards the mound and threw to first on the run to get the runner out.  He also barehanded a ball and fielded another ball and threw to end the game.

Evan slept over Reid's last night so he was not home this morning. He stayed at Reid's until after the Steelers game.

Rachel and I went to Lady Bird Lake and walked around.

When we got home I watched the Steelers game.  Rachel took a nap and also tutored during the game.  Noah watched with me but he left when they were losing.  When the Steelers took the lead he was nervous to come back and watch with me.

After the game, I picked Evan up and brought him home so he could clean his room.  Rachel has a sponsored post on her blog to get these wifi-enabled colored led light strips for the boys' rooms.  Rachel and I put them up in Noah's room at the top of one wall along the ceiling.  It was a bit of a pain.  Then we attached them underneath a shelf in Evan's room.  Both boys seemed to like them.  Rachel took pictures for her sponsored post.

When we were done, we went to HEB and shopped for the week. We had Domino's delivered for dinner.

The boys are upstairs playing.  Rachel and I will sit down to watch some TV soon.

Until next time...
