CLOSED

We went last night and said good-bye to the old house. When we got there, I realized there was no battery in the big camera so I just snapped a couple of quick pictures with my phone. It seemed fitting, to tell me I should not focus on the past but move forward.

House


My ALL TIME favorite video of the boys is from one of my favorite phases, when we had two babies crawling around chasing each other, before Nate could walk. Here it is again, but warning: it will make you want twin babies:



For the final photo taken in the old house, it seemed only fitting to take it at the kitchen island, on the floor, where we spent so much with our babies.

Island

Good bye old house. Hello again one mortgage! Hello new house! Hello forever house!

CONGRATS!! Must be a good feeling to have only 1 house payment again.

Look at that green grass in that yard though! And how freakin tall Nate and Alex have gotten.

Love the video. Good thing I already have the twin babies.

I love that we can see your reflection in the glass window of the oven in that last photo.

Can't believe how fast they grow.

Congrats on only having 1 mortgage!
