Maybe we just weren't ready move on from it yet; but sometimes life dictates those things.
And it was a sacrifice we needed to make for a growing boy {who happened to inherent just a few legos...} to get from the baby room above to here:
The silver lining is that we know it's going to a wonderful couple who are about to become a happy family-to-be through adoption. I hope it will be as much a blessing for them as it was for us.
We'll miss sitting in that rocking chair.
...That{well loved} silly blue rocking chair...
After all, for us, it was home.

I love those kind of memories.
That room is fantastic!!
Aww, just look at his big-boy room... really lovely! :)
I adore the map idea! (We're about to move and I must remember that for Sam.) It's bittersweet, this parenting thing, huh?!?
Love the wall of maps!
Loving his new room... Sad to let go of those items that bring back such sweet memories. Glad it will give a new family the same feelings.
They do grow up quickly! Good that the chair will have a new family to love in it.
Thank you all!
I used the maps originally to cover the blue-flower wall paper in the old house. albeit, he had an affinity to that wall paper. So since we rent and they just painted I covered the wall with maps - they are actually pinned up with thumbtacks. I (ironically) plan to paint the room white to brighten it up.
