Moving Update and Good-Bye to Baby Items

Moving has been going pretty well.  We have been trying to move one room at a time, and then unpack it, as we get to the new house.  With the holidays, and Ryan’s birthday this weekend, we just haven’t had an entire weekend or block of time to devote to it.  So next weekend, should hopefully be our final weekend moving.

We have moved all the odds and ends stuff from the living room, bedrooms, and garage.  We will have to move the furniture we are still using, the kitchen, and the office,  and our clothes. One nice surprise is we don’t seem to have nearly the amount of junk that I thought we would have.  I think we were so tight on space over the years, we just didn’t keep a lot of that stuff. 

On Saturday I had to decide on all the baby gear, and I realized there was not really a reason to move and keep so much of the baby items I have.  It was kind of a defining moment for me.  I hate to part with the gear, because it means no more babies, but at this point in our lives, another baby is just not going be in the cards for us.  There is a pregnancy center very close to where we live that helps women in crisis pregnancies, and they never have nearly enough baby items.  So I started a pile in the living room, and we are finally done moving, I am going to take all the baby items I don’t need anymore and donate all of it to them.  It feels like I am closing a chapter in my life, but I am happy that families who really need the items will have them, and  I have no doubt they will be going to good use.

As soon as we get moved in, I’ll post some pictures, of the organized rooms.  🙂  It is really coming together and the boys just love it so far.  If you don’t have any plans on Saturday and want to help us, you know my number.  🙂
