Tonight we sat down and all ate together.  It was at a restaurant, but at least it was together.

I fully recognize the importance of family meals and how it really helps everyone to be connected.  We RARELY have the opportunity to have them thanks to "the system".

Our current schedule allows for eating dinner together at home on the following:

Friday night
Every other Saturday night
Sunday night

Otherwise we are at therapy, tutoring, youth group, group therapy, or family therapy.  We might be at our house doing one of those, but you can't have a family dinner with your therapy team in your home.

I loved dinner last night.  We had a few minutes to just sit down and enjoy each other's company.  We even laughed a little.

Middle Boy actually commented that he can't wait until the adoptions, because then we will be able to eat together since a lot of the meetings will go away.  I can't wait either.

Praises for the ability to have time for each other tonight at dinner.
