We have spent the last four days packing all day, every day. It's funny how packing can be so nostalgic. Even though they are just things, often there is a memory that comes with that thing. As our house looks more and more empty, we realize that our departure is eminent and though it is just a house - we have made many memories here - new babies, birthdays, playdates, parties, dinners, visits from family and friends, games, music, dancing, laughter, and tears.
