Eating around the table

We've started eating around the table. I know, shouldn't we always be doing this?? Unfortunately we had developed the habit of eating our supper in front of Andy Griffith or Little House. It has been really nice, and not as complicated as I thought it might be, with having to set the table, clean-up, etc.. That is because Karleen and Evelyn are such big helpers! They take turns each night - one will be in charge of setting the table (and they are very creative let me tell you! - Evelyn has been wrapping the silverware with gold ribbon! And they light a tall skinny candle in my one and only crystal candle holder(the pair to it got broken in the girls' room) Fancy Smancy!) and the other does the dishes when we are done. While daddy & daughter or mommy & daughter are in the kitchen, the others play a game, maybe cards(old maid, go fish, uno, etc.) at the table. We set Emily in her bouncy seat to watch.

Where to begin??

I should have started this long ago! The whole idea that I am thinking about this blog is to sort of journal and keep up with the happenings around the Ellerbee home. Our family consists of me(April), Josh, Karleen(9), Evelyn(6), Emily(6 m0s), Daisy(the dog), Callie & Spike(the cats). Karleen and Evelyn will be able to make posts on this blog also (should be interesting!).
