Who Knew

...that saying goodbye to a silly blue rocking chair could pull so many emotions from our entire family.

We all have sat in that chair, read to Harrison, held him when sick, cuddled with him, slept in it or just, plain, hung out on it.

I suppose we're a little sentimental around here; but even Big Brother, back from college, let out a little sad, "aww" and voiced his own memory when I told him it was being picked up.

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.

The Daddy Files - Who Do You Love?

Harrison has been insistent that The G.I.D. take him to bed every night for a couple months now. They have their own routine which includes talking about their day and other things. As they were talking one evening, the G.I.D. asked:

"Harrison, who do you love?"
"I love Mommy!"

"And who else?"
"Big Brother...

and...

Dukey-doggie!

and...

Mommy-grandpa & Daddy-grandpa!" [Harrison's names for grandma & grandpa]

Scrunching his brow, the G.I.D. asks

"Who else do you love?"
"Mommy!"

Now Harrison is snickering as he watches daddy's face get flustered.
Game on!

"Anyone else.....?"
"Dukey-doggie!"

HUMPF!

"AN-NY-one else you love...???"

Harrison looks intently at The G.I.D. with a gream in his eye and says:

"I Love Daddy!!"
