One last picture of the kids on our front porch ... the site of all the first day of school pictures, and every special occasion.
The first time there have been tears in the picture.
Tomorrow we're closing on our home ... hooray! We're so thankful and feel so blessed that we were able to sell so quickly. We took the boys to the old house last night so they could take one last look around -- they've been asking to do this. The excitement of seeing it empty and how small it now seems gradually turned to sellers remorse for the boys and the tears began. Everywhere they looked they have memories of that wonderful home. It's the only home Adam has lived in and the only home Isaac remembers so saying goodbye was hard for them. After a trip to Culvers for dinner (which seemed to cure all their woes) we went home and the sadness was gone and the smiles were huge as the boys were appreciating what an amazing new home we have. They were pointing out all the great benefits of living here as if they had to convince Ryan and I that we made the right choice. One of our favorite things about our new home is we now have room for lots of visitors! Hope everyone can come for a visit!
Love, Joy
I will always think fondly of that house and all the happy times we had together there. Now....onto some new adventures.
ReplyDeleteAhh what a picture! I am glad that you guys got to look at the house one last time and almost "say goodbye" its a good thing! I'm glad you love your new home and we are going to have to figure out something so we can come and see it again, i have been so busy with working both jobs, travel time, and spending quality time with Faith since she wants me to quit my new job so we can go back to normal, a lot of changes lately have been hard on her. Anyway we love you all and cant wait to see u soon!!! love addy
