I love, love, love family dinner time! Whether it is Chris, me and the kiddos or just me and the kiddos because Daddy is once again out of town or a house full of extended family...it is such special time. We come together at the table. Talk ranges from "What did you do in school today?" to "Why did God give us belly buttons?" to singing silly songs or making up goofy rhyming poems. We laugh together. We have even cried together over a meal. Broke the news of my Mother-in-law's death to the kids at the dinner table. Worst night of my life as a parent so far, but at that simple farm table we held our precious children as they cried for their sweet Gigi. We wiped tears and tried to answer the whys and how comes. Our table serves as so much more than a place to put plates and glasses of chocolate milk! It is the one place in the house that we always seem to gravitate towards. One moment it brings us together to feed our bodies, next minute it is a homework station and next thing you know it is covered in purple play-dough castles.I know our lives are super-charged and super busy, but if we take the time to sit at the dinner table it is amazing what, as a family we can accomplish...together.
God Bless and Good Night!
