Each night we sit down to dinner as a family. Keep in mind I use the word "sit" loosely! However, many a conversation has been had at our kitchen table. Topics usually range from who did what at school, silly jokes the boys have learned, asking dad over and over how his day at work was, making sure mom had a decent day as well. Each evening is filled with as much laughter as noise. The noise level can get so unbelievably loud that I am thinking about having Tylenol as one of my side dishes! There are also the occasions where our youngest daughter says the cutest things just out of the blue. A few days ago I noticed Addy was fairly quiet for a Morrison child so I asked her if she was alright. She replied with, "I'm fine mommy, I'm just enjoying being beautiful!". This statement made everyone smile. Her older sisters repeated those few words to each other in jest, but I think it made them feel good too. It was a pure and honest incite to how good she feels about herself! Addy is our most soft spoken kiddo. She enjoys her reading corner, which she also watches movies in, but the alone time is big deal for her. Addysen likes to ponder things, and is a deep thinker even for five. Just to hear her say something so cute and wonderful is all the reason I need to make certain sitting down together to eat is something that happens every night. I wouldn't want to miss anything!!
