Home Is Where ...

Since we will be moving in a couple of weeks, I've been thinking about all the good times we have had here in our home of the past three and a half years--
 
This home is where our kids have played in the yard,
 
 
and learned to ride their bikes.
 
 
It's where we've brought our baby home
 
 
and where his little feet first touched the grass--
 
 
also where he had his first swim, run through the sprinkler, jump on the trampoline,
and many other firsts!
 
 
This neighborhood is where we delivered newspapers,
 
 
trick-or-treated,
 
 
and walked (and even sledded!) to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
 
Our home is where our kids have learned to bake cookies, read,
 
 
 
and clean up :)
 
 
It's where Eric has learned to smile, roll, sit, crawl and walk.
 
 
It's where the tooth fairy has come,
 
 
 
Santa has visited and Lego structures have been created.
 
 
It's where we've waited for Daddy to pull up in his truck after work.
 
 
Our home is where heart-shaped pizzas have been eaten
 
 
and birthday candles have been blown out.
 
 
 
We even have a little hamster buried in the backyard.
 
 
This house has really become our home and it will be hard to leave!

I have so very much loved watching your family love your time in that home. It was special to us, and you were there almost twice as long as we were! Praying for your new place to become just as special with many more family memories.

This got me all choked up:( It's hard to move and leave a place that you've loved so much and made so many great memories in!! I hope the next place is just as great...and that the kids adjust quickly!
