Home {tour}

We are officially in our new place, but before we get started with all of that, I wanted to share a tour of our first home.  Right before we closed the door to our home, I walked through for one last time.  When I finished, my eyes were full of tears as I remembered all the countless moments we shared in this home.  

 Entrance--
I always loved the openness that was felt as soon as you walked in.

Formal dining room

Leading into the family room & kitchen

 Most of our time was spent in the kitchen.  It was the heart of our home, no doubt.

I loved our baking days in here & when a craft would cover the island.  Those moments I will hold close to my heart.

 Family room--

I can't tell you how many forts were built in this space.

Or how many popcorn & movie nights were held here.  Blankets always seemed to cover the floor, & I loved it.

 The Loft--

My most favorite space of the whole house.  It had this sense of lightness about it.  Kind of like a breath of fresh air. It always made me smile to see the girls sitting at their table coloring or playing with dolls.

 The Master bedroom--

I will miss Saturday mornings when everyone would climb into bed & snuggle.

 

Master Bathroom--

the bathtub was one of the kids' favorite places to be.  They loved bath night, & without fail would splash the walls, already knowing I would tell them not to. :)

 The girls' room--

This space held so much imagination & creativity.  The girls loved to make big messes in here, but had the best time doing so.

 

This room has been the space for all 3 of our children.  I love this tiny room. I loved rocking all three of my babies in this space.

 

The kids' bathroom

Well, there you have it, our very first home that we shared as a family. 
So many memories were built there, and as hard as it was to leave that place, I am so happy that we will never have to part with those special moments.
