I had mentioned to Catherine a couple of weeks ago that I would be off today, and that we could spend the day shopping for some things she will need before school starts. Specifically, we needed to get her some shoes, and I wanted to spoil her with some other things as well. The plan was that if Thomas happened to be off, we would all go. When Catherine's work transferred her to the store near her school, she specifically asked for today off so we could make this happen. She was very excited about spending the day with us (especially with our credit card 😂). Thomas also somehow managed to not be scheduled today, and again, he wanted to spend the day with us rather than go to the county fair (that's another post...and again, probably because of our credit card). We got so much accomplished, and then we had dinner out together at a restaurant we all enjoy. I realized it had probably been since vacation that all four of us had eaten out together. I know this is the beginning of those days being very rare. I know Catherine will occasionally be home for weekends, and I know Thomas will sometimes be around on a weekend, but I have no idea the next time all four of us will have this kind of day together. I soaked it up and am treasuring our day. This evening we are going to watch a family movie together. My heart is full!
