We had a busy weekend

Our weekend was fairly busy...busier than I had anticipated.  I'm not sure the four of us spent much time together as a family, but that is not surprising.  That is the phase of our life.

Friday evening we were all at the high school football stadium for the scrimmage.  The school recognized all fall athletes, including marching band members, before the game, and then recognized all league champions at half time.  Catherine was part of the girls league winning swim team, and Thomas was part of the league winning boys track team.  I stayed until that, and then I came home.

Saturday morning we all got to sleep in, and then Andrew had to work at the boys soccer game.  I love high school soccer, and I had been hearing that our team was pretty good.  I have pretty high standards, as I was a stat for the boys team when I was in high school, and we were ranked in the top of the state each year.  I was impressed with what I saw, and really enjoyed the game.  Since Andrew was the official person in charge, I even got to sit in the press box out of the sun...bonus!  I left before the game ended so Catherine and I could get some errands accomplished.  By the time she and I finished that, it was time for her to go to a friend's house for overnight.

Sunday morning we had to pick her up really early.  The youth at the church, including Catherine and Thomas, were presenting during the service about their trip from earlier this summer.  They all did a great job of presenting, and Andrew especially loved that Catherine helped with Communion.  After church the kids and I made the trip to visit my grandmother, and by the time we came home it was time for the neighborhood picnic.  I don't care for heat and sun, and Catherine was fading after not sleeping much the night before, so she and I stayed at home.  By the time Andrew and Thomas returned, it was time for showers and bed.

We are definitely back into the crazy go-go phase of life.  I'm trying to enjoy the craziness though, because it all goes so fast!
