This morning I ran to Wholy Bagel (6.2 miles) and Morry and kids met me there for a breakfast/lunch.
We came back home and around noon Morry and Evan left for TRPD. Evan had a good time with his friends.
While they were gone, Noah's friend Grayson came over and stayed most of the afternoon. At one point, Brody came over too and they all played outside for a little while.
For dinner ordered pizza from Brooklyn pie company.
Now the kids are playing video games.

Games On and Then Games Off
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan played baseball in a tournament for the first time since June yesterday. It was for the Blue team of TRPD which is the "B" team. The weather forecast called for rain, but the rain held out long enough to get their two games in. Evan had a long at-bat in his first at-bat fouling 5 pitches off before ultimately popping up. In his second at-bat, which was the top of the last inning and his team down 3-1, Evan came up with a man on and no outs. His coach called for a surprise bunt. Evan waited until just as the pitcher threw the ball to show bunt and laid down a perfect bunt. He caught the other team off guard and ended up beating the throw for a single. After he crossed first base, he turned around and squeeze his chest and arms together with his hands in fists and screamed "Yeah!" The entire bench of his team went crazy cheering. It ignited a 4-run rally to take the lead. In the bottom of the inning, they brought Evan into pitch. He got the first batter to ground weakly to him and threw the runner out and then struck out the next to batters to preserve the win.
The second game didn't go well. Evan caught and he did a fine job. He didn't like the umpire's strike zone and I think the umpire knew and so while there wasn't an explicit argument between Evan and the umpire, there was definitely a tension and he wasn't giving Evan the calls. Evan was definitely frustrated.
After the game, we came home and relaxed. We went to Buffet Palace for dinner.
I woke up early this morning because Chewie needed to go out. I let him out and noticed it was pouring rain. At that point the tournament had not been cancelled. I got up when my alarm went off an hour later and checked my email. It said that the games were delayed one hour. I came downstairs to feed Chewie. About 30 minutes after that an email came that the games were all cancelled.
I worked for some of the morning and early afternoon. The boys played upstairs all morning long. Rachel did some cleaning this morning.
After lunch, Brody came over and asked Evan and Noah to play. They all went outside and played for a few hours.
For dinner, we made an EveryPlate meal. Then we went to Bahama Buck's for dessert. They were giving out double punches on your punch card since it was raining.
The boys are getting ready for bed.
Until next time...

On The Mend
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Rachel got up with Chewie this morning and fed him. Noah stayed with Chewie downstairs in the morning and let us sleep in some.
Evan seemed to feel better this morning. He wanted to eat and he said he felt mostly better. He wasn't outside for 24 hours so I'm wondering how much was allergies. We're having a particularly bad cedar season.
For lunch, we had leftovers from last night.
Noah went to Jude's house and spent the afternoon with him.
Evan and I watched the movie Logan and had popcorn. Then we went outside and played basketball. He said he needed to go out and do something. He was getting stir crazy.
Brody came over after we finished basketball and he and Evan played outside together.
After picking Noah up, we decided to go to dinner at Deckhand. It's a seafood place that we hadn't been to. Everyone thought their food was good.
We stopped at HEB to get a few things on the way home.

Beautiful Weather
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We had great weather today. The temperature was near 70 with no clouds. It was really nice. So we decided to take advantage of it. In the morning, Rachel and I took Chewie on a 3 mile walk. I think he pulled the entire time. He is a strong dog too.
We came home and had brunch. Then we did some Sunday cleaning.
The boys played outside for a little while with Brody before Evan and I had to leave for his football game.
Evan had a very good football game. On the first play of the game, Evan jumped the route as a defender and almost intercepted the ball, knocking it out of bounds. On the second play he came up and pulled the receiver's flag as he caught the ball. Later in the game, he caught a ball on the sidelines with tapping his toes to make sure he was in bounds before falling out of bounds to set up the team's first touchdown. Then he caught two straight passes, taking the second pass all the way for a touchdown. In the second half, Evan jumped another route, intercepted it and ran for a touchdown. And he jumped a third route and tipped that ball knocking it over the receiver. The coaches were very happy with him. You can see video of his first touchdown below.
After football, I dropped Evan off at Sunday school. Rachel had already dropped Noah off.
We met up with Rachel's cousin, David, who is in town for a "bootcamp" for learning some programming. We met him at Hoover's restaurant. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.
The boys are now in bed.

Morning Practice
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan had a morning, indoor baseball practice. It wasn't as early as last week so we were able to sleep in a bit more. The boys each got a chance to pitch and they all got at bats vs their teammates. Evan also caught several pitchers. Evan said he struck out the side but gave up one single in between. They broke the boys up into two teams and Evan was one of the captains
On the way home, we stopped at Smoothie King and got a smoothie for Noah as well.
While we were at practice, Brody knocked on the door and said that he was playing basketball in the cul-de-sac. Noah went down there. Brody's parents were down there as well, so Rachel took Chewie. Rachel decided to take the leash off of Chewie because Carlos was there and there wasn't any cars down there. Noah and Brody were having a good time and Chewie and Carlos as well. It was sprinkling a bit but after a little while the skies opened up and they ran home. Chewie loved running back to the house in the rain.
We all had our leftover pizza for lunch and we just stayed at home in the afternoon.
At dinner time, we went to HEB and did some shopping and got some food for dinner.
The boys are messing around in my office as I type this.

Sports Followed By Manners
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan had 9:30 baseball practice this morning. We used this occasion to renew our tradition of stopping at Donut Taco Palace.
Evan played well at practice. He led off the scrimmage with a very hard hit to left field for a single. He walked in his two other plate appearances and scored each time. He played catcher for several innings. He almost threw out a runner stealing third but the third baseman dropped the ball. He seemed to have a great time and was super hyper on the way home.
Noah slept in until after 11am. He's been suffering from allergies and I think it just wiped him out. He said he felt a lot better after getting so much sleep.
When we got home, Rachel was taking Chewie for a walk. They bumped into Lizzy's old friend Brody the golden retriever. The two dogs played some. And then Rachel let Chewie play with the dog, Carlos, who lives across the street.
We relaxed at home for a while. Evan and Noah went out and played in the front yard.
Later in the afternoon, Evan had his second Cotillion class. It was actually the third of the series, but Evan missed one when we were in Houston for a tournament. He didn't seem to be dreading it. But I don't think he particularly wanted to go.
I picked Evan and Darius up from the class. I told Daniel that I'd bring Darius over to where he was coaching his daughters in basketball. Both boys seemed to think the class was boring. They worked on knowing what each item in a place setting was for and how to eat a formal dinner. I know it's boring but it's good skills.
After we dropped Darius off, we came back and had dinner.
The boys will be getting ready for bed soon.

Really Gross Day
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was really humid and gray walking Noah to school. It just felt gross out. It was around 55 degrees and it made it so I couldn't tell if I was cold or warm.
We didn't go to Camp Gladiator because of the weather.
I worked all morning from home. Rachel left later in the morning to go teach.
For lunch, I met Daniel at Slab. We had a really nice time.
Chad came over to work on HomeAway stuff in the afternoon. Rachel tutored right after school, so Chad came with me to pick Noah up.
Noah played with Brody after school and when Evan got home, he went outside as well. They had fun despite the misty weather.
I took Evan for a hitting lesson around dinner time. It was very foggy there and back. Evan had a great lesson.
The boys are getting ready for bed.

Home Alone
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning, after taking Noah to school, Chewie found a big stick that he carried more than half way home. It was much bigger than him, but he insisted on carrying it. He was trotting, quite proudly, while carrying the stick.
I had to go into HomeAway this morning and then Rachel went to teaching. Chewie was home alone from a bit after 9am until 2pm when I got home. He did well in the crate. We hadn't left him alone for that long since we got him.
We picked Noah up from school and walked home with Brody, Drew and their father as well as their dog Carlos. Carlos and Chewie enjoyed walking together. At one point, Chewie grabbed Carlos' leash in his mouth and Drew let go of the leash so it looked like Chewie was walking Carlos.
In the afternoon, Noah went with Rachel to tutoring. Then they went to a dinner for the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.
Evan and I left for baseball practice. After practice we went to Tucci's Southside Subs and got some cheesesteaks.
Evan is doing his homework right now.

Separate Dinners
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning Lizzy got to see her buddy, Brody. Lizzy is always hyper after seeing her dog friends.
We had another intense class with Camp Gladiator. What made it tough was it was 85% humidity. The moment you started to work out, you started to sweat.
I worked from home all day. Rachel left around lunch time to do pilates. From there, she went to tutoring.
I walked to pick up the boys. We didn't stay home for long before we need to leave for Evan's baseball practice. We dropped Noah off with Grandma and he ate dinner with her.
Evan had a good baseball practice. They really learn quite a bit at these practices. They do not waste any moment during practice.
Rachel went to dinner at Whole Foods in the Domain with the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls.
Evan and I stopped at Raising Cane's for dinner on the way home.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Check Ups
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning while dropping off the boys, Lizzy got to see her friend Brody. Brody is another golden retriever. They hadn't seen each other since last school year. Rachel said that Lizzy perked up when she saw Brody from far away.
Rachel and I then went to Camp Gladiator. So far, we have perfect attendance for the session.
Rachel went to Whole Foods for a Pink Ribbon Cowgirls lunch.
I picked up the boys early from school. They had their annual check ups. Both boys are very healthy. Evan is 4' 8" and 75 pounds. Noah is 4' 1" and 52 pounds. Evan is slightly above average in both height and weight in terms of percentile while Noah is on the low end for both. They also got flu shots. Both boys behaved well and it went very smoothly.
Both Evan and Noah went to Grandma and Papa's shortly after we got home. Rachel dropped them off on her way to tutoring. I picked up Evan a bit later as he had to go to baseball practice. I brought him home and he ate dinner, and then we went to practice. Noah ate dinner with Grandma (Papa had a meeting).
Evan did well at practice. They had a relay race at the end. Evan ended up being the anchor for his team and they won. The losers had to, one-by-one, tell each member of the winning team that they were "the cutest baseball players ever." All the boys were all laughing at all of this.
We are home now and the boys are in bed.

Another Busy Afternoon
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
We walked to school this morning. Lizzy had a nice time. She got attention from Savannah, Evan's friend Colby, Colby's brother, and she got to see Brody the golden retriever. She was very happy.
Rachel went for a run in the morning. I stayed at home today. I had a busy morning dealing with several clients at once.
In the afternoon, Rachel's first tutoring was cancelled so she could help with Math Pentathalon for the first half. So we drove to school. Rachel then went in and helped and Evan and I walked home. Rachel said that Noah did well as always.
Shortly after we got home, Ethan's mom texted Rachel to see about Evan coming over and playing so Evan went over there.
Noah came home for a little and did his homework. Then we left and picked Evan up. From there I dropped Noah off at Grandma and Papa's and Evan and I went to batting practice. It was raining out but the batting practice is indoors.
We're home now and getting dinner ready for Rachel, Evan and me. Noah ate at Grandma and Papa's.

Busy Afternoon
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was supposedly warmer on the walk this morning than yesterday but it was windy which made it feel cold.
I went into Aaron's for a while. Then I stopped at another client on the way home to show him how to do something.
Of course I had to stop and get Smoothie King after that.
When I got home, Rachel was out for a run. She came home, showered, had lunch and went to tutoring.
I walked to pick up Evan. Noah had Math Pentathalon. Grandma volunteered today. Then Noah went home with Grandma.
Evan played outside with Brody for a bit. Then I made him dinner and we left for hitting practice.
Noah was happy because Grandma took him to Pho Thai Son for dinner.
Rachel got Noah on her way home.
The boys are asleep now.

Playing in the Neighborhood
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
It was warmer this morning on the walk to school, though it was very foggy and overcast. It did get nicer during the day somewhat, in terms of sun and clouds.
Rachel stayed at home most of the day while I went into Aaron's to work on two different projects. On the way home, I stopped at Smoothie King.
We picked up the boys from school. Noah played on the playground with his friends until Evan came out of the building.
In the afternoon, Brody knocked on the door to play with Evan and Noah. Noah didn't want to go out. Only Evan went out. But then Evan came back and told Noah he needed his help. Apparently all the kids on the street were out playing with each other, both boys and girls. The girls were chasing the boys I guess. I don't know. They were out there for close to an hour and a half.
Rachel left closer to dinner time to go with Deborah to some healthy digestive system meet up or something like that. I guess it was some seminar in eating well.
Since Rachel was out for dinner, the boys and I decided to eat dinner and watch a movie. I made pasta and we watched Shaun of the Dead. The boys really liked it.
The boys are getting ready for bed now.

First Time Ever
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Lizzy was able to see Brody again this morning. Both dogs were equally happy to see each other and everyone.
I went into the office for a meeting with Your Trainer. I had a lunch meeting after that.
Rachel stayed home today.
We walked to pick up the boys. Noah came out first. He handed me his backpack and played on the playground. Evan came out a bit later and was excited to tell us something. He first asked if Noah told us what happened today. We told him that Noah hadn't. He said that because of the Benchmark tests that Evan was having, his recess time was moved. He went out for recess while the second graders were out there. So Noah played football with Evan and his friends today. Evan said that Noah caught a few passes. Evan was so excited that Noah played football with him at recess for the first time ever. We asked Noah about it and he smiled, but he kind of downplayed it.
Evan and I played football outside for a little while later in the afternoon. Then we lit the menorah. Rachel left to go tutor.
I made pasta for the boys and they ate and watched Rocky II.
Rachel is on her way home now.

This morning, I watched Lizzy in the grass as I waited for Rachel to come back up the trail after walking down with the boys. My back was towards the street. All of a sudden Lizzy jumped up and started pulling towards the street. I turned around and Brody the Golden Retriever was coming down the hill. I saw that Brody, too, was pulling. Lizzy and Brody exchanged greetings and then Brody wanted Rachel and I to pet him. We hadn't seen him in a while.
Rachel left shortly after we got home to go to a thrift store. Last year Rachel went and got some nice stuff, especially some good stuff for our skiing trip. Today they were having a 50% of everything. Rachel got there when they opened. But Rachel said the stuff wasn't as good this year.
When she got home, we left to have lunch at Wholy Bagel.
We went directly from lunch a meeting with a client about SEO.
We picked up the boys from school. Jack walked back with us because John was in the middle of something. The boys were bored when we got home so they wanted to go to Grandma and Papa's. Rachel walked them most of the way and watched them cross Spruce Canyon.
Rachel and I went over the later for dinner.
The boys are in bed an sleeping now.
Until next time...

Steelers and Bucs
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan's baseball games weren't supposed to be until late afternoon, so it gave us the opportunity to sleep in.
When I got up, the boys were playing in the game room. I went downstairs and took care of bills and other things around the house.
At noon, the Steelers game started. Both boys came down. Rachel came down and went for a long run. It was a nice sunny, cool day - a good day for a run.
The Steelers game ran longer than I had thought. They ended up winning. After the game, the boys went upstairs to start cleaning up the game room.
I got some food ready for Evan before we left for the baseball game. He ate it and we both got ready and left for the game.
Noah and Rachel went to Brody's party. It was a Star Wars party. They were showing Star Wars to all the kids. Noah had a good time and stayed until 8pm.
When we got to the fields, the games were running late. We had to argue with the tournament director a bit but we only started about 20 minutes late. The Bucs took the lead after one inning, 4-1. Evan was playing third base. In the second inning, Evan was holding the runner on at third. The pitcher threw over to Evan and the runner broke for home. Evan fired a bullet home getting the runner. Evan popped out in the bottom of the second. In the top of the third, the other team had bases loaded with no outs. The coach called on Evan. Evan struck out the first batter. He had two strikes on the second batter. The runner on third came off the base a bit much and the runner took off for home. The third baseman threw home to get out #2. The next pitch was a strike for the third strike and the third out. No one runs scored. In the bottom of the third, we scored 4 runs. Evan got a hit and scored the 4th run. In the top of the fourth, Evan struck out the first batter. He got 0-2 on the second batter. That batter then fouled off a few pitches in between some balls. The count got to 3-2. Evan didn't seem to be phased and threw strike three for the second out. He threw two strikes on the next batter. The batter then hit a ball back to Evan who threw to first for the final out of the game. Bucs win 9-2. The final line on Evan, 2IP 0R 0ER 4K. So this weekend in five innings, Evan struck out 10 batters.
We had a little ceremony where the boys got rings. This was the biggest ring of all. Evan was very proud.
Evan wanted to stop at Subway for a sub on the way home. So we picked one up.
The boys are now sleeping and I'm about to go up to bed.

Immune Builder
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
Evan walked Lizzy on the way to school this morning. We bumped into Brody the dog as we walked. Brody really wanted to be with Lizzy. It was very cute.
I went into Aaron's for a bit. Rachel stayed home most of the morning.
I stopped at Smoothie King on my way home. I was horrified to find out they changed my flavor. I've been getting and Immune Builder for years and they suddenly and without consulting with me changed the flavor. I am very upset about this development. I have already contacted Smoothie King corporate (Not joking about that) over this change.
Rachel took Lizzy for a little walk when I got home.
Rachel went to tutoring when I left to get the boys. Jack and Evan ran home together and Noah and I walked with Jack's dad.
After he did homework, Evan went out and played basketball with Brody (the boy).
Evan and I went to football practice. He played well again.
We had pizza for dinner.
The boys are showering.

Busy Afternoon
This morning and after we walked to school. John and Jack walked home with us after school. The boys played in Jack's yard for a little bit while we talked.
At 4:00 Noah and I went to tutoring for Audrey. Shortly after Morry and Evan left for baseball practice.
After tutoring Noah was invited to play at Brody's house.
I got a text that one of the Pink Ribbon Cowgirls needed some help. She lives nearby. She had fallen a couple of days ago and was still in a lot of pain. She needed someone to take her to the doctor/ER clinic.
Noah stayed at Brody's while I took my friend to an ER clinic. The woman that runs the PRC met us there and I went back home. It sounds like they are still there getting x-rays and meds. I might be going back out to her house later today or tomorrow if she needs more help.
I picked up Noah from Brody's and I finished getting dinner ready.
Morry and Evan got home around 8pm.
We had pork tenderloin, asparagus, veggies, and fruit for dinner. The kids ate really well.
Now, they are getting ready for bed.

Back to School Night for Noah
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
On the way to school this morning, Noah asked to hold Lizzy's leash. He had seen Drew hold it the day before. He really enjoyed it. He said he wants to walk Lizzy again.
When we got home, I had to leave for a meeting with a client. From there I went into Aaron's. It was a busy day.
We walked to get the boys when I got home. Both boys were in good moods.
Rachel left to go to tutoring shortly after we got home. I made the boys dinner and then we shared a babysitter with our neighbors. I walked Evan and Noah over to Brody and Drew's house and they played there.
Back to School night was good. We really like Noah's teacher. She definitely is a good teacher - strict but caring. That's exactly what Noah needs. He needs structure but he needs warmth as well. Noah does not do well in chaos.
The boys are in bed now.

Baseball Practice
Hello everyone, this is Morry.
This morning on the walk to school, our neighbors Jenn and her son Brody and daughter, Drew walked with us to school. Drew is in first grade. She was very interested in Lizzy and ended up holding her leash and walking Lizzy. Lizzy seemed to like having Drew walk her. She was really trotting.
I only left the house to get a haircut today. I stopped and got a smoothie on the way home. Rachel stayed home pretty much all day.
We walked with Jack's dad, John, to and from school when we picked up the boys.
Around 4, Rachel and Noah went over to Jack's house for Rachel to tutor Audrey.
Closer to 5, Evan and I left for baseball practice. It was our last practice before our first two games. We play two games on Sunday. Evan is excited to get back out there and play.
Evan and I just got home. Rachel and Noah are finishing up at HEB and then we'll eat dinner.
