On July 13, 2018 we said goodbye to our old house and pulled out of the driveway for the last time. Mommy and Daddy have lived here for seven years. The house has seen them through many life events, including the loss of one cherished cat, the births of two kids and six neurotic chickens, the addition of a newly cherished cat, and of course one albino frog who seems to live forever.
Daddy put a lot of sweat equity into that home, including bookshelves, drawers, exposed brick walls, and bathroom additions – just to name a few! It was a great house with a lot of character and fabulous backyard for exploring, and it holds a lot of precious family memories.
We are looking forward to our new house, however, which will offer a lot of wonderful advantages including an extra bedroom, finished basement, and a neighborhood that is walking distance from school (and our uncle’s house). But until we’re able to close, it’s off to Papa and Yia Yia’s house!
