Last week I got in the attic to get out the kids clothes out from last Fall. I could not even move up there! It is packed with ALL kinds of things, but most of the stuff are things that we will never use again!!!
So yesterday I decided that I am having a yard sale on Saturday! Last night Daniel and I cleaned out the attic! Now you can't walk in my house, but at least the attic is nice and clean!!!HA!
I started pricing some things last night and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Most of the things that we are selling and will never use again were baby things. We are selling EVERYTHING from the crib, strollers, to all of Drew's baby clothes. Looking at all of these things made me really sad! I looked through the clothes and remembered my Drew Boo wearing them and how tiny he was and then I went and looked at both of the kids sleeping in their rooms and thought about how big they have gotten and how fast the years go by.
Last night, it occurred to me that Daniel and I were closing the chapter of have children and moving onto the next chapter of our life. We both have struggled over the past several years whether or not our family was complete and we now have a peace about it. Even though I have a peace about it, it is still hard getting rid of all this stuff! This week is going to be BITTERSWEET!!!
I am looking forward to the next chapter and what God has in store for our family. I am so blessed to be the mother of His children and I pray everyday that I will be the mother that He has called me to be!!!

Praying for you! Thanks for being so honest. It is hard let go, but we know there is always good in teh future. I saw a craft where they had cut some of the baby clothes into simple leaves and made a tree and sewed it on muslin fabric- it was really cute.
the fewer things you keep, the more special they are.
