Under the Table and Dreaming

Our boys love to play under our coffee table. This coffee table was passed down to us from my parents when Dan and I first got married and did not have any furniture. The coffee table was actually my parent's first dining room table. When my parents got married my dad was in seminary, so they did not have a lot of extra money to spend on furniture. They found the table top in Louisville, KY at a flea market for five bucks and found the four legs in Spartanburg, SC at a flea market for a dollar a leg. My dad sawed off the legs years later to serve as a play/game table for my brother, sister and I. This table has seen some good times and we hope to continue that legacy. We dream of it one day being the place where Atticus and Isaiah will build their Lego city with Dan's old Legos. Until that day comes we are using it as the boys hideout spot. Dan started it by putting a blanket on top of the table, which the boys really loved. They enjoy crawling in and out of it, playing peek-a-boo with each other and occasionally pull the blanket off of the table. Here are a few shots of their play time under the table:
