Memories of Days Gone By...

We never took pictures of the house before we moved in--nor did we take pictures of moving in the house. It is strange to see the house beginning to be empty again because this is how it looked when we moved in. It's a strange memories-in-reverse feeling.

This is the cleanest I have since the girls' room since we moved in 3 1/2 years ago. Many memories in these rooms. I remember one time not long after we had moved in and my parents came to visit, Aliya had a dirty diaper that she wanted to take off by herself. That wasn't so bad until she decided to spread it all around the floor in the middle of her room. I never thought I would get it cleaned up, but I did.

I still have to sort through all the stuff that was in our dressers or nightstands. Our room looks so big after getting all the furniture out. I remember the first time I vacuumed the bedroom before we put anything in there. I thought to myself "Wow! This is a lot of carpet!" Of course, with all the furniture in there, you only have to vacuum the walkways.

The girls made a camp out in the living room to watch a movie before going to bed. They could camp out any where and be just fine.

This is the last major room I have to sort through, and it is MAJOR! This is the room that I have to make sure and remember where I put everything because I use this stuff often.

That about wraps up our progress for now. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are getting it done little by little.
