"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:3-6

Making More Room!

We got a new-to-us kitchen table!! We are very excited about it!  When we had guests over--even just one extra person to our table--we didn't have a chair for them anymore.  We did have the bar stools, but those aren't the best for sitting at the kitchen table with. 
 
Mom and Dad Frazey blessed us with a house warming gift of a new table to accommodate our growing family. 
 
It has six seats now and has two leaves to extend to 12 seats.  The chairs should be easy to match down the road when we want to add more, or we can get a bench seat. 
 
 
Our first dinner at the table, just minutes after it was moved in.
 
It is nice that the table is so large I can have a center piece in the middle and still fit food and plates around it.  I knew exactly what I wanted--I had seen it at Hobby Lobby earlier in the week. 
Brent ran to Home Depot that night so he stopped at Hobby Lobby and picked it up for me:)  It came in yellow or blue.  I want to have turquoise blue be our accent color in the kitchen, so it will tie in perfectly!  It's the little things that excite me:)

  1. What a nice housewarming gift. So practical! :)
    I read this a few weeks ago and thought I would pass it along.
    The kitchen table is such a special place!

    I am looking forward to having more room in our new house to have it not pushed up to the wall and more useable! :)
