The rest of our weekend

Friday was definitely the best part of our weekend.  I absolutely loved it, and it is a memory I will always hold close to my heart.

Saturday Andrew began with a two-hour baseball practice, and Catherine had to work.  Thankfully, it was only a 5-hour shift, because I am fairly certain she has pleurisy again.  Her cough is absolutely awful, and the symptoms are pretty much the same as they were when she had it three years ago.  I had several band errands to run, and then I was home for the rest of the day.  Andrew had to work at an away basketball game that evening, and I convinced Thomas to go along to keep him company.  I spent the evening wrapping gifts, and I'm almost finished with everything except the kids' gifts! 

Yesterday was church, and Catherine enjoyed being there.  She hadn't been able to do that since July or August.  It filled my heart to have all four of us file into the pew.  More band errands happened in the afternoon (yes, in fact it is getting a little old!), and then we had dinner with my best friend.  It's been entirely too long since our families had been together.  We got home last night when it started snowing and watched the Steeler's game.  Some of us watched less than others, but still we watched.

It was busy, but not an overwhelming weekend.  It was full of many holiday opportunities, and it was lovely!
