Sunday Brunch

When the kids were younger we’d come home from church on Sunday mornings and we’d make an elaborate brunch for the kids, and enjoy our time at the table as a family. We haven’t done brunch in while, because lately, Ed and I have been going out to breakfast after Sunday morning Mass. I started teasing him about doing penance during Lent and suggested he needed to take me out on a breakfast date on Sunday mornings. We’ve enjoyed that time together, and so we have continued going out to breakfast long after Lent is over.

This week dear daughter #1 was home for a few days, and so this morning we made our brunch of old—eggs Florentine, bagels and lochs, cinnamon buns, fresh fruit, and orange juice. Besides taking joy in making this brunch, it felt great to be together at the table. I enjoy my children’s company and take pleasure in table conversations. I liked being with my children when they were little, and enjoy equally as well as adult children—although it’s fun to see that some sibling traits and behaviors still continue no matter how old they are… 
