The babies are gone...
No more diapers, no more high chair, no more bottles, no more trips to wander Babies R Us aimlessly and most prominently no more crib. Isn't the crib the final thing most of us get rid of? The final farewell to our childbearing years? The last bit to hold onto "just in case"? Well ours is gone. I only wanted it to have a good home and it will now. As I loaded it into the car I thought only about how happy I'd be to get it out of our garage. As I talked to the mom I was giving it to I thought only that I hoped she'd like it. While I walked across the parking lot to her car I felt a twinge of something so brief that I might have missed it entirely if Paige had fallen and wacked her chin on the cement a second earlier. No tears. No depression. Of course Babies R Us will always be there if by some devine intervention another child should ever enter our home needing a crib!

WOW! Congrats on potty training, etc! We aren't quite there yet, but soon. Baby years gone...boo-hoo! Why are the teens years longer than the baby years? (That's right teens often act like babies...you'll be there in full force one day!)
we miss you guys so much - I think our Portland trip will be in August this year - I don't know the specific dates yet, because Scott keeps forgetting to look it up! MEN! I will keep you upated though.
Give the kiddies kisses and hugs for us! - Jennifer
Ohhhhh.... such a feeling! I can't begin to imagine it! Our boy is loving his crib still and is not about to give it up for his little sister. Hence, we have 2 cribs now:) Max and Paige are both getting so grown up all of the sudden - It goes so fast!
