The Big Move

Olivier's & Joshua's new room

Our two oldest boys have officially moved their rooms into the basement...they are growing up...taking bigger steps...

For them, this move is full of excitement - a new adventure...

For mommy, this one tiny step is huge...a first step away from me...no longer needing to be next to us...a big boy step of independence...

Full of excitement for them, I tuck them in and kiss them good-night...and wipe away my tears...

Jacob's big boy room

And with this move, my four year old Jacob inherited the big boy room. Out of the pastel colour nursery that has been his room since we brought him home from the hospital...and into the brightly coloured room of a big boy. How time flies...



I now stand in the empty nursery...still unable to believe that it won't remain empty for long...the bed will soon be up...his name hanging on the wall...little pyjamas hanging in the closet...and I will be rocking him to sleep...it all seems unbelievable... 
And I smile....I smile....

The nursery....
