Today was a big day.
Our baby boy turned 1 month old (I guess...how does that work for a kid born on the 31st, when the next month doesn't have a 31st?...only I would stress about this!). One month. How is that even possible?
My mom was here and when she left, she took our sweet Bailey girl with her. It is such an odd feeling to be here without Bailey. We have done this before and we are forever grateful to my parents for their willingness to keep her for what is hopefully a short time. Why do they have Bailey? Well, that brings me to the next big part of our day....
Our house went on the market.
Our house.
Our 3rd house...but the first that really became our home. The place that my first baby calls home. The house that my second baby calls "our yellow house." The home that my sweet Sawyer will never remember...but, the home that already has his name and his picture on the wall, in his room. His room may never get the chance to be "his" but this will always be his first home. This place holds their toys, their balls, their trophies and medals, their play set, their bikes....their laughs, their tears, theirs questions and our answers, their books and our stories, sounds of footsteps and running. Our stories....have all started here, in this home. They will all continue somewhere else.
In the near future, this home will no longer be "our home." Today is the first day of that journey.
Such an interesting day....such mixed emotions.
My baby has been in our family for one month.....and we're selling our house. Somehow, I just can't wrap my head around how those are supposed to go together.
Life...Faith....really, really, 100 % trusting in God's timing....this time around, it certainly takes all my faith to trust God's timing because it certainly is not my own.
What a day!
