Just my little guy and me

This afternoon it is just Thomas and I hanging out at home.  Catherine is with my sister for a girls' day, which I'm sure is going to be magical for her.  They are seeing a production of The Nutcracker then my sister is taking her out for a nice dinner.  Andrew and Robert are at baseball practice, and then are having dinner with the team.  Not overly thrilled that baseball has become almost a "year round" sport, but such is life.  Andrew and I were discussing this morning how we weren't really going to see each other much today, but both agreed we prefer this life to the alternative.  Only too soon it will be so very quiet around here again, and I'm just not ready for that yet.  Thomas has worked on cleaning his room (an on-going process with him) and has been creating various art "masterpieces" with the rest of his time.  It's still pretty quiet since it's just the two of us, but I still love hearing the occasional, "Mom, look at this!"  Makes my heart full!
