Good-bye to the "Toga"

It's official, we signed all the papers and gave back the keys. Our very first house no longer bares our name as owners. Although we haven't lived their for three years there was still something sad about saying an official good-bye to the home that held so many memories for our family.

Our first home
The home we brought two of our five kiddos home to
The home where we hosted many a family holiday gathering
The neighborhood where we met people who we still and always will cherish as lifelong friends
So many family walks
Hours spent at the playground
Watching Anna grow from toddler to big kid

And so on and so on...

I loved that home!

Going back over there has made me incredibly grateful for what we have here. Acres to roam on, more space to spread out and more room for the extra kiddos we've been blessed with since leaving that first home!

Blessed, then and now! Good-bye Saratoga!
