If Our Kitchen Table Could Talk

Our kitchen table, that came with more chairs then we ever imagined using on a regulalr basis, would have so many stories to tell.
It would tell of being spilled on daily, being wiped down at least 5 times daily, having food thrown across it by two silly boys, being the test field for a 7 year old with a new leatherman, having its corners bumped daily by two little heads and being the chosen rising place for Shawns great bread.
It would also tell of the announcement to the older 3 children that there were two babies growing in mommies belly, the joys and frustrations of homeschooling, Elijah creating stories with minature animals while schooling is happening, snowflakes being made, the girls turning a cardboard box into a home, creations with play dough and sand art, meals and laughter with family and friends, hard lessons learned, bible teachings, budget meetings and all the hope and joys a family share.
