ten years ago today, we moved into our home. we've celebrated anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, and five births in this home. we became a family in this home. i brought my babies home from the hospital to this place. we've had great neighbors move in and out with other great neighbors filling in the holes. i've watched my kids grow here, crawling, running, riding bikes, climbing trees, losing teeth. owen and conner will have great memories of their first friends and their first schools. i hope hailey is able to remember some of the wonderful times we have had in this home.

after nine years, eleven months, and three days our home now belongs to someone else... for them to grow as a family and make their own wonderful memories. we have new home now, one that doesn't actually have a house on it just yet. acres of land for them to run, explore, play, be wild, and learn. i have huge hopes and dreams for our family on this land. the place where we will build our next home and continue to grow. i can't wait for lila and declan to start making their memories here.
