We had a fabulous family weekend

We truly had a lovely family weekend.  We had tacos for dinner on Thursday, and then we just sat around and hung out.  I ventured to my hometown Friday for a bit of shopping.  Catherine was home mid-afternoon, and Thomas joined Andrew for some frisbee golfing.  That evening we made hot sandwiches and watched the UD basketball game and some episodes of our current favorite shows.  Yesterday we woke up to the snow, and the four of us ventured to support the fundraising with Empty Bowls.  Thomas and I didn't want soup and we didn't want to be surrounded by the people, so he and I did some walking while Catherine and Andrew ate.  Thomas spent the evening with his girlfriend while our best friends came over for dinner and hanging out.

We were supposed to attend a family celebration for a baby shower today, but I had a rough night and didn't feel great this morning.  The nice thing is that instead of having to  rush around, it actually gave us some more time with the kids, and I'll never be sad about that.  The house seems so quiet with everyone gone.  Catherine brings her kitten home with her when she is here, and he is adorable.  We told Catherine today that a "grand kitten" is the best kind of kitten because he is fun to have around for a few days, and then goes away. :)

Thomas also added to the family by getting a fish last evening.  So next week, there will be five people (my MIL is coming for the week), three cats, a dog, and a fish sleeping here.  And I can't wait!
