The sisters descended upon 412 Kauffman this weekend, with husbands, fiances and children in tow. Quite a bit has happened in less than 24 hours, most importantly, the very unexpected loss of the dining room table. After over 30 years of service, the ol' girl finally gave in under the weight of full plates and leaning elbows. It's fixable, thank goodness--that table is like an institution here--but it was quite dramatic when it happened, and a certain two year old ("3 in March") was pretty traumatized. We found ourselves grabbing plates, glasses, forks and knives as those lucky few sitting in the middle held up the two sides of the split table.
After clearing the room entirely, we managed to fit our growing family around the kitchen table, where we laughed about the surprise of the evening's events and greatly enjoyed a slightly cold, still delicious family dinner.
