Last weekend, we gathered in Austin for Will's First Communion. On Saturday morning, Ellie had a volleyball game at nine o'clock, and Will a baseball game at 10:30.
In the afternoon,we all had a tour of Kathleen and John's new house. It is a lovely home in a development called Steiner Ranch, which looks relatively restrained and modest from the front, but which actually has a lot of space and a very large game room upstairs.
They were supposed to close on the house the following Wednesday, so they presumably own it by now.
The house has a swimming pool and a large backyard ( the lot is a full acre), with a spectacular view.
John Pasquarette's parents were also able to come for the weekend, so the kids had all four grandparents there at the same time.
On Sunday, April 26, we had Will's first communion at 9 a.m. Mass. There must've been 100 children receiving First Communion, so the church was quite crowded with all the families. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great -- it rained before and after Mass. John and Liz and all four children drove from Grand Prairie, leaving at 5:30 Sunday morning. After mass, we return to Kathleen's house for brunch, and then all went to the minor league baseball game in the afternoon, where Ellen and her school chorus sang the national anthem. Here are some pictures from Sunday.
