My Children's Home


There are so many things I will miss about my children's first home. I loved it. It was the very first home I ever took part in building (except for the houses in Mexico, but that doesn't really count). And perhaps maybe I loved it so much because we did work so hard building it. Or maybe it's because we have so many wonderful memories of bringing both of our babies to this house from the hospital. Maybe it was all the summer pool parties out on the lawn or the get togethers with friends to watch movies. Maybe it was hearing a bunch of neighbor kids playing loudly with the toys downstairs or it could've been the relaxing environment which allowed me to lounge and read a book when the kids were sleeping. Perhaps it was the fabulous deck which allowed us to stay dry as we all cuddled up to watch the beautiful lightning storms. And maybe it was simply the spirit that was felt when my family stayed home together doing absolutely nothing. I will forever be grateful for this home.





















We are now living in a cute little apartment while we build our next house. I feel very lucky that Travis is so talented. Let the games begin!
