Last Day of School and Perfect Noah

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was the last day of school.  The boys were both up when I got up this morning and dressed.  They were excited to get to school for the last day.  It was especially important to Noah because it meant he had gone to school every single day of the school year.  That's right, Noah had perfect attendance for his first year of elementary school.  We are very proud of him for making it perfect through the whole year.

Rachel cleaned a bunch today and started preparing for the trip.

In the afternoon, when Rachel got back from tutoring, we drove to pick up the boys.  Noah gave Mr. Valdes a really big hug.  When he came over to us, he told us he wasn't happy.  I think for Noah it was bittersweet.  He's excited for summer, but he really enjoys school.

The boys got their report cards.  In Austin, for Kindergarten through 2nd grade, they grade the kids on a variety of things on a scale of 1 to 4 with 4 being excellent.  Noah continued the perfection theme by getting all 4's.  His second time in a row.  Evan also got all 4's, his second time this year.

When Evan came over, he seemed excited for the end of the year.  I think he likes being with his friends at school, but the school part of school he could take it or leave it.

Later in the afternoon, Evan and Noah went over to Jack's house to swim.  They both had a good time.

We picked the boys up and then went to the Galleria.  We went to Zingers for dinner.  It's a family sports bar.  It's near Dick's which is why we went there.  We thought the kids would like watching the sports.  We asked them to put on the MLB draft on the tv nearest us.  The service was really poor and everything took awhile.  The food was good though.

We walked to Dick's and I got some shoes.  Rachel talked to someone there who had great suggestions for Rachel's feet.  We got a few other things as well.

We are home and the boys are ready for bed.

Until next time...

Basketball, Baseball and a Date

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Evan had a basketball game today but not until noon.  What that meant is that we could relax for a bit this morning.  We weren't rushing around trying to get somewhere early which was nice.

Evan and I left a bit early and we went and got Zayde and then went to the middle school where they play.  Evan warmed up with his team and then had his game.  The game was a total mismatch and Evan's team was winning 32-0 before the other team finally made their first basket.  Evan got handful of rebounds and was able to get his hand on three shots so the ball didn't make it to the basket.  He took one shot but missed it.

After the game, we stopped got gas and Icees and came home.  We all had lunch at home.

At 3:30, Zayde, Evan and I left to go to Evan's baseball practice for the Marauders.  Evan had a bit of a lull in the middle of practice where he said he was tired, but he finished up well.  He caught two pop ups.

When we got home, I quickly showered and Rachel and I went out to a restaurant called Zingers.  The food was pretty good.  Oddly enough, someone eating at the restaurant brought a lemur there.  Rachel went over after we ate to see the lemur.

We came home.  Zayde had put the boys to bed but they are still awake.  We'll be tucking them in shortly.

Until next time...
