Sunday Evening Concerts

This is one of my favorite times of the week. Christine is the fastest eater in our house, and on Sunday evenings when she is done eating, she will often take Caroline with her and retire to the living room, where she begins playing arrangements of hymns on the piano. The peaceful, beautiful spirit of the music soon fills our home. And if Lizzy and I can finish eating fast enough, we like to join her in the living room: Lizzy to dance and me to read or care for Caroline or just sit and listen and watch. The spirit of this moment is, in my mind, the perfect conclusion to a sabbath day.
