Breakfast: It's What's For Dinner!

We live your typical mile-a-minute-life-with-four-kids life. Dad's busy at work. Mom's busy at home. Kids are busy with school. Church events several times a week. (Not to mention baseball, birthday parties, etc.) We don't have a lot of "down" time. So....the family dinner table is a holy ground of sorts for us. On the weeks that Lee's not in Nashville, we shoot for eating together as a family as much as possible. During the day, Lee and I catch up on "grown up" talk over lunch, which is usually a salad somewhere. And as many nights as possible, we try to have all six of us around the table. The noise level is off the charts as we share about the events of the day, laugh at funny stories (and noises...... we do have boys!), and hopefully, pass on the tradition of making family meals a priority. Thanks Sonny & Glo and Pete & Nell for all the family meals Lee and I had growing up!

Tonight we had our favorite: breakfast for supper. I fried bacon and scrambled eggs while Lee made his "world-famous" cheese grits. We've called them that since the kids were babies, so they think that's really what they're called. As that wonderful smell of bacon frying filled up the house this evening, the kids came running in, so excited. "Is Dad gonna make his World-Famous Cheese Grits when he gets home?" they all wanted to know. And he did. And they were, once again, the best ones ever. So, even though most research says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, for us, it's usually supper-time before we get to enjoy it!
