High School Water Leak + Goodbye Boogey

 Yesterday was an eventful day.  There was a water leak at Evan's school.  Without access to running water, the school was crazy.  Kids were waiting in long lines to use only a few working restrooms and port-a-potties.  They eventually said kids could go home.  So, Evan got a ride to his friend's house.  I picked him up there later. 

Boogey went to his adoptive family yesterday.   They are a very nice family that we first met when Evan was an infant.  We had a playgroup together. 

Today, Bowie said the water was fixed and that everyone should come to school.   As Evan was on the bus on the way to school we saw an email saying there was another leak.  Many kids didn't even bother coming to school.

Evan went to two classes and then Morry picked him up to come back home.

Evan rode his bike to the park to meet a friend for frisbee golf in the afternoon. 

I had a busy afternoon of tutoring.

Morry took Evan to meet with a personal trainer and it went well.

When they got home, we had dinner and then I tutored again.

I just finished tutoring. 

Smoothies and Errands

Today we had nowhere to be.  It was nice.

Our trainer came 11:30 and after that we all ran some errands together.  We went to Target, the bank, and Smoothie King.

We took it easy this afternoon.

For dinner we had pasta.

Now, we are going to put the boys to bed.

Lizzy's Birthday

Today is Lizzy's 10th birthday.  She still acts like a puppy sometimes.

This morning the boys went to baseball camp. They both had a good time. They said Noah was fearless and really tough.

We worked out with our trainer.

Blanca came over and then I left to tutor.

Tonight we ran some errands.  We got Lizzy a birthday toy at Petco. We went to Academy to get bigger water bottles for the boys.  For dinner picked up Chipotle.

We made dinner for the boys at home and all ate together.

We just did reading/writing/math with the boys.

Now they are getting ready for bed.

Drenched!

This morning Evan and Noah went to school without any problems.  Noah got to school about an hour late though since he slept late and had breakfast here with everyone.

Noah insisted Grandma come to pick him up from school.  When we got back home Grandma, Papa, Michael, Jen, and Maya went to lunch and the trainer came over to work with Morry and me.

It was raining when Morry and Noah went to get Evan from school, but while they were there picking him up it started really pouring down.  When they got home all 3 of them were drenched.  They had to changed clothes.

Evan went to a Lego birthday party at 3:30.

Uncle Marvin, Aunt Sandy, Aaron, Mandy, and Jeremy came over this afternoon and then we all went to Nutty Brown for dinner.

We stopped at HEB on the way home.

I made cookie dough tonight and will bake the cookies tomorrow.

Both boys are asleep now.

On To The Championship

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning when I was getting Evan up, Noah came in Evan's room.  He said he heard someone moving around and thought it was Evan.  Noah came downstairs with us and laid on the couch while Evan ate his breakfast and watched the MLB channel.

Evan and I rode bikes to school in the morning.  It was warm this morning and I was going to be able to pick him up and ride the bikes in the afternoon.  Also, there was no rain in the forecast.

Rachel had an appointment with the local oncologist as a normal checkup.  Everything looked good.

Around 11:30, we had a personal trainer come to the house.  She worked out with Rachel for 30 minutes and me for 30 minutes.  It went well.

Noah and I rode bikes to pick up Evan.  Evan seemed excited about riding his bike home.

At 4:45, we left for Noah's semi-final game.  Jack was there when we got there so Evan and Jack had a catch.  I had a catch with Noah.

At 5:45, Noah's game started.  Noah began the game at third base.  He fielded two balls at third base.  Although he couldn't throw the kids out, he was able to make sure they were held to a single.  In the second inning he singled between short and third.  In the third inning, there was a boy on second and a boy on first.  The coach told Noah to hit it down the third baseline but not as hard as he had been hitting it. He basically was instructing Noah to take a swinging bunt.  Noah executed it perfectly.  The third baseman had to run up to get it and had no play at third or at first.  It was a good win and the kids seemed excited.

In a strange twist, Noah will be playing the Cubs in the championship.  It is the same team and coach that eliminated Evan in the semi-finals last spring under somewhat sketchy circumstances.

Following the game, we drove over Blanca's college graduation party.  It was at a nice community center.  The kids had fun there.

We came home and put the boys to bed.

Until next time...

On and Off Rain

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning as Evan was eating, I heard it begin to rain.  I knew we wouldn't be able to walk the path so we quickly got ready and I took Evan in from the front of the school.

By the time I got home the rain had stopped.

Noah got up shortly after I came home.  Rachel came down a little while later and made breakfast for Noah.  He then started giving her a hard time and insisted that I take him to school which I did.

Around 11:30 we had a personal trainer come to the house.  Today was just the initial consultation.  But we'll start having the trainer come once a week for a few weeks and see how that goes.

Rachel picked up Noah.

I took Noah to go get Evan while Rachel went to tutor.

When we got home the boys played together for awhile while I worked.

When I was done Evan and I practiced grounders.

For dinner, we picked up Z Pizza.

As we were getting the boys ready for bed it started to pour.  I don't know if Evan will be able to have his playoff game which starts at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Until next time...
