Checkup

This morning I had a checkup appointment at Texas Oncology.  On my way, I met Deborah at a food trailer because she wanted me to try their bulletproof coffee.  She ended up coming with me to Texas Oncology.

Everything looks good so far from my checkup.  I'm still waiting on some blood work.

After dropping Deborah off at her car I ran a few errands and then came home.

In the afternoon Evan and I went to a neighbor's house that was selling some DVDs.

We also took Lizzy to meet/check out the petsitter's house.

Tonight we had a baseball party with the familys from Evan's team.  Jerry called each boy up individually and said nice things about each one.   We had pizza and cake and hung out for a while.

The boys are in bed now and asleep.

Marauders

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning was another easy morning.  The kids were good on the walk to school.

Rachel ran out to Kohls in the late morning to get some new bedding and new sneakers for the boys.  She was successful with the bedding but not with the sneakers.

I had to make a run to the bank and I stopped and got a smoothie at Smoothie King at lunch.

In the afternoon we walked to get the boys as usual.

At 5:30 we had practice for Evan's new baseball team.  When news of the baseball fields being damaged, Evan's coach called me and we set up a Select Team.  We got a bunch of the better kids in the league.  It turns out they are going to make up some of the original Oak Hill season at other fields but we will still have the Select Team.  Evan will play in some tournaments throughout the winter and then probably pick back up again at the end of the spring season and do some tournaments in the summer.  We decided to call the team the Marauders (after the Pirates single A affiliate).  The practice went very well.  It was immediately obvious how good the kids were.  They are going to be very competitive.

We had left overs for dinner and then the boys were excited to sleep on their new sheets.

Until next time...

Birthday Party

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I get up this morning to do work.  Evan came down shortly after I got up.  He ate his breakfast in my office.  Then Evan played some Wii.  When Noah woke up, he played with Evan.

Later in the morning, we went to Sam's Club to get some stuff - both for the week and for the month, really.  The boys were good there, so they got an Icee to share on the way home.

In the afternoon, Rachel went to tutor while I did some work and the boys played together.  When Rachel got home, she had the boys clean up some.

After that, they had a birthday party to go to.  It's a boy on Noah's baseball team - the coach's son, Josh.  Josh and Evan played together last spring.  Many of the kids from the baseball team were going to be there.  It was at Hoppin' House.

When I got home, both Evan and Noah talked about the party.  It sounded like they had a lot of fun.  They got to see their buddies that they hadn't seen since the season.

The boys finished cleaning up and then we had dinner.

We gave them showers and now they are in bed.

Until next time...

Friends

This morning Noah was up early again and went with Morry and Evan to Evan's school.

Later in the morning Noah, Lizzy, and I took a walk.

Cole came over around noon.  While he was here I got some cleaning done around the house.  Our little arrangement really works out well.  The boys love it and the moms love it.  :)

Noah came with me on the bike to get Evan at school.

We took it easy this afternoon.  My tutoring scheduled changed some this week and I didn't have any students today.

Tonight, Evan's baseball team had a party at Rudy's.  I stayed at home because I was feeling really tired.  I think the weekend was finally taking it toll on me.  Morry said the boys had a great time.  Evan really likes the kids on his team and they all had fun together.

Morry's helping the boys get ready for bed as I write the blog.  Hopefully, they'll go to sleep soon.
