Closing the Aberdeen Chapter....

Our First Home4 1/2 years of our lives together...
Where we started our family.























Our first yard... (literally...we leveled it and planted the sod)








































Our first "remodeling" project.... 2 years to lay tile in the Master bathroom. ;)






















Our bright "beach bedroom"... many a fanastic nap was had inside these walls!



















Where our daughters took their first real bathes... In the ducky bathroom.























Where Maci first slept in her 'Big girl bed'...
























The room in which both of our beautiful babies slept....The Nursery that I painted and decorated. The warm, quiet place where I spent endless hours singing lullabies, finding lost binkies and staring at my precious girls.






















The stair way that Tan had painted for my 27th Birthday...in a color I LOVE and he tolerated ;) Stairs that we ran up and down, up and down searching for toys or clothes or wallets.....or phones.



The steps that Maci sprawled on and Leila sat contently kicking her feet.






















My rich chocolaty front room that was once bright apple red. Where my antique piano sits. The first room that heard Maci sing "I am a Child of God"....the room in which my babies peered through the front window for hours on end. It served as Ragnar Headquarters....and Ragnar storage.




















The view from my "Post" in the kitchen....where I stood preparing dinners, canning my first peaches, making cookies for the first time with Maci, carving pumpkins on her first Halloween and crafting away.


















My first real-life, fully functioning Kitchen. The site of many a get-together, holiday meals, dance-offs, chases around the island, failed cooking attempts, welcome home kisses and laughter.


















So hard to say good-bye! We loved living in Aberdeen Circle. Incredible friends, neighbors and experiences. We hope that this home will continue to be full of love, laughter, adventure and comfort.

Moving from the first home I think is the hardest. I cried like a baby when we moved out of our first. It's gotten easier the other couple times. =)

Hope you are enjoying your new house!! Post pictures of that one too!
