End of Spring Baseball, Noah's New Teeth, Prom

 Here's what's been going on the last few weeks.

Evan's spring baseball ended.  He got MVP for the varsity team!  Here's what Morry wrote about him on Facebook.

"Varsity Team MVP as a sophomore. Second youngest on the team. Hit .533 (32-60) on the season, second in innings pitched, first in ERA, first in Ks, led the team in innings caught and runners caught stealing. I haven't posted during the season as I figured I'd wait until the season is over. Unfortunately, though, I am terrible at taking video so I missed quite a few of his bigger hits, but figured I'd upload some of the ones I did get.

The season Evan put together was beyond anything I could have imagined. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and he works his butt off to get better and I couldn't be more proud."

Noah finally got his new fake teeth from the orthodontist.  He was happy about that, but of course, I don't have a picture.  Lately, he hasn't wanted to have his picture taken.

Madison invited Evan to his senior prom.  Evan, Morry, and I went to Philadelphia from a Thursday - Sunday.   On Thursday, we ate at Nifty Fifty's.  Friday, we saw the West Chester University campus and baseball team.  Friday night was the prom.  Saturday we went to Ocean City, NJ.  Sunday, we met Allison and Avery for brunch in downtown Philadelphia.  We all had a nice weekend and Evan really had a great time at prom.

Here are some pictures. 

Evan's Birthday, Noah's track and Cap10k, Galveston

 Over the last few weeks, we celebrated Evan's 16th birthday at the Round Rock Express game.  Noah is on the track team and ran 300-meter hurdles in a couple of track meets.  Noah also ran the Cap10K with his school group.

Over Easter weekend, we met the Edwards in Galveston and had a fun time.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Photo Dump and Everything in the Last Few Weeks

 Over the last few weeks, here's what's been going on.

We pet sat for Miso.

Michael and his family came to visit.  We had a great time celebrating many of the holidays and events we missed throughout the last 2 years.  One of the days we went to Uncle Marvin and Aunt Sandy's house and celebrated birthdays there with a pinata.  One of the days we celebrated Thanksgiving and Morry smoked a turkey. 

Spring Break - I had two weeks off and the boys had one.  We stayed at home but still kept busy with all of Evan's baseball games and SXSW.  I went to several events during the first few days of the festival.  Morry and the kids met me on one of the days and we had fun walking around downtown and eating lots of free food.

Noah's birthday - For Noah's birthday today, he chose to walk with Evan to Dominos and HEB for lunch.  For dinner, we went to Kura revolving sushi.

Here are photos from the last few weeks.

In the last few weeks

 Here's what's been going on over the last few weeks since I last updated the blog.

Evan and I got Covid.  It wasn't too bad for either of us.  Evan just had a headache one day and an upset stomach for a few days.  I had a dry, scratchy throat, and dry cough, and what felt like allergies.  I just happened to test since there was an outbreak at my school and it turned out I was positive.  So, Morry, Evan, and Noah took home tests and we found out Evan was positive.

Evan stayed home from school for a week and I stayed home from work for a few days.

Morry, Evan, and Noah went to the RBI Austin Fundraiser Event.  Evan and Noah volunteered and got to greet several famous athletes.  Evan was able to talk to one of his favorite players, David Freese, and even got a picture with him! 

It got really cold and rainy here.  Everything shut down for 2 days.  The kids' schools completely closed, and my school went virtual.

On one of the days, the boys walked to Domino's pizza and HEB.

Evan started baseball again with the high school ISBL team.

Today, Morry and I took Chewie to a Gold Ribbon Rescue meet-up.  Of course, Chewie had a great time.

Last night Morry and I went out to dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day early. 

Here are some pictures over the last few weeks.

Finding Junk

So, here's what we did this weekend.

On Friday, Evan, Morry, Chewie and I tried a new restaurant called Suds Monkey Brewing Co.  It's a pub/pizza place in a warehouse with a big outside eating area.  

We had to wait 2 hours for our pizza, but it was really good pizza.  There was also a good live band that we enjoy listening to while we waited.  Chewie got a lot of attention from all of the kids running around. 

Saturday was cold and windy.  Evan's baseball team was supposed to have a scrimmage but had to move indoors.  He said he pitched really well.

After that Evan went to Reid's house.

Morry, Noah, and I picked up dinner from Freebirds. 

Then, we picked up Evan and Reid and brought them back to our house for the night.

This morning Morry was warning the boys not to leave anything valuable outside this week since it's bulk pickup week.  The boys got really excited because they saw it as an opportunity to get some discarded items from the neighbors for the game room and their rooms.

They spend much of the afternoon walking around the neighborhood. They got a desk chair, a Papasan-like chair, a plastic set of drawers, some huge joystick/button console that looks like part of an old arcade game. They were super excited.

This afternoon Morry and I walked to the new smoothie place that opened in the neighborhood.   My smoothie was a little too sweet and his a little too watery, but we decided we would give them another chance sometime since they just opened.

The boys walked to Dominos and ate an early dinner there.

Morry and I tried to pick up Dan's Hamburgers, but after waiting a while for someone to take our order at the drive-through,  someone told us they were closed for the day.

So, we picked up burgers from P Terry's instead.

Tonight Morry and Evan watched the Steelers game.  Noah played video games, and I worked on lesson plans for school.

Booster Shots + Garage Cleanup

 Yesterday, both boys had their Covid booster shots. We had to get them at different CVSs because that was all that was available. 

Evan had baseball practice yesterday afternoon.

For dinner,
we ate at Lotus Hunan.

Today, Morry and I spent most of the day cleaning the garage.

Both boys weren't feeling so well from their boosters.  Noah felt worse than Evan and spent most of the day in bed.

For dinner, we picked up Salt Lick BBQ, and Grandma and Papa ate with us at our house.

Tonight, Morry and Evan were up late watching the Steelers game.

They have to get up early tomorrow.  Evan has a 6:30am MRI appointment for his wrist.

Here is a picture of the garage today.
