New House

Today marks the four-year anniversary of the day we moved into our new house - this house! I remember how huge it seemed, compared to our tiny little starter home which we'd somehow managed to squeeze into for several years. When we moved in here, I was still in my twenties. Rich was 31. Jonathan was only 6. Dianna was only 3. Katy was only 2. Jaymee wasn't even with us. My, how time has flown and things have changed! It's really amazing, all that we've gone through in those four years.

This is the old house, our little one:


And here's our new (current) house... this picture was taken just a couple of weeks ago, when our tree was in bloom:


Here's the kids as they were back then:


And here's a recent one of them as they are now:


In some ways, I miss the days when the kids were so tiny and we lived in our little house with the white picket fence. But in other ways, I'm proud of the way they've grown, the experiences they've had, and all the things they've learned to do.
