Two More Days

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today was the third to last day of school.  We had our normal walk.  Lizzy did not see any of her dog friends.  There is a little girl named Savannah who just loves Lizzy and was so excited to see her this morning.

I went into Aaron's to work more on Your Trainer stuff today.  Rachel stayed at home.

In the afternoon, we walked to get the boys.  The temperature was hotter than last week but there was considerably less humidity so it was a more comfortable walk.  The boys were in good moods on the way home.  We did not bring Lizzy because it is just too hot for her.

Rachel met a potential student for tutoring after school.  She'd be tutoring this student over the summer.

I signed Evan up for a batting lesson with a coach I found online.  He's a young guy who played baseball for the University of Tennessee.  We, the Bucs, have been thinking about paying a coach to run some practices for us in the fall.  The dads would still coach the games but it'd be good to have a different, more professional voice for the boys.  So I found this guy and decided to see how he works with Evan before I talk to him about the team.  We worked on batting today.  It went very well.  He actually recorded Evan with his phone and then played back the video at times to show Evan what he was doing right and wrong.  He gave him some drills to do at home.  I was very impressed.

We had left overs for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...

Baseball and Tennis

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

It was 36 degrees and a bit wet this morning but today was the final ride-or-walk-to-school day.  Evan wanted to ride his bike though.  Rachel, Noah and I drove.

I had to run out this morning for a meeting so I left shortly after returning.

By the afternoon, it had warmed up and the sun had finally come out.  We walked to pick up the boys.  This was Lizzy's first time walking this week so she was very happy.

Noah had his first tennis lesson today.  We were going to do it next week, but Rachel's tutoring got cancelled so she could take him.  The instructor kind of remembered Noah.  Rachel said Noah seemed to enjoy himself.  Rachel was up against the fence trying to take a picture of Noah hitting the ball when Noah ended up hitting it a bit too hard and it sailed over the fence hitting Rachel in the head.  Noah thought that was very funny.

While Noah was at tennis, I took Evan for some private batting lessons.  He hit for about 45 minutes and then pitched for the last 15 minutes.  He did well.  When he kept his hands at the spot where the instructor wanted him to have them, he would crush the ball.  The instructor was really teaching him advanced hitting.  He was talking to him about how he should swing with various counts.  For example, how he should change his swing slightly if the count was 0-2.  Evan seemed to enjoy it.  He seemed to get a lot out of the lesson.

For dinner we had left over corned beef.

Noah is now reading with Rachel.

Until next time...
