Saying Goodbye to Our Old House

I haven't been blogging regularly in April. On April 8th, we sold our beloved Edgewood home and bought a new house about 15 minutes away. It was a bittersweet day. We were sad to sell our first home...the only home our 3 boys have ever known. But, we were excited to embark on a new adventure in a much larger home.

We moved the majority our things to our new home and spent our first night there on Thursday, April 9th. Elbert and I spent Friday morning moving the remaining miscellaneous things and cleaning. We brought the boys through our empty house after lunch on Friday.

Nathan was very emotional. He sobbed and then wailed through every room. He waved goodbye while tears were streaming down his face. It was very sad to see him so upset. He made us emotional, too. He had already seen the new house and was very excited about it, but he was still mourning the loss of our old house.

Here are a few pictures of us saying goodbye.


Nathan was just starting to get sad.


You can't see (or hear) the crying in the picture. We miss our porch. We worked really hard on that room and enjoyed it so much!


Mid-cry...

Evan was sad, too... Not really. He just didn't like being told "no".
