The Fam Came to Call

I know this is my second post today, but we've just had such an abundance of excitement over the last twenty-four hours, I had to write about it, and I'm not great at posting things in a timely manner, soooooo you get two posts today. :)

Our Fowler Family gave us the incredible blessing of making breakfast--
and they even let us eat it with them!  
I'm a little un-practiced in regard to en-masse cooking, so it was probably quite the site to see Kevin and I scrambling around the kitchen before they got there.  But we did it!  

He took on the eggs and I made the bacon and sausage.  Our guests arrived right on time, and there were (thankfully) no hungry bellies by the time we were done.

The Ladies got the table:
Since we only own four "real" chairs, the men took the couch:
And since a plain ol' breakfast just wouldn't be exciting enough, 
we asked Dad to close the porch door in just the right way so as to cause our power to go out.... 
okay, so that's not true--but the power did go out at the exact moment he came back inside.

So, the rest of our meal and time together was had by candle light:
Or, more accurately, this is what is looked like:
And then our visitors left, their bellies full, and their traveling to the Big City done--for now.
We'd be happy to have them again.
They are, after all, very pleasant company. :)
