Our Little Family

To see the sold sign put on the front yard.

To moving in, sending the real estate agent a card.

From painting the walls, and decorating everywhere.

We were home, we were together, a time to share.

New beginnings were about to embrace in our life.

Like the moment he became my husband and I became his wife.

The home, in the beginning, was not what we wanted it to be.

After taking up the carpet, hardwood floors we did see.

We sanded down all the wood we could find.

Creating our home together truly was a wonderful time.

When the home was decorated and it started to feel great.

We only paid 35,000, the price was fantastic and we did not hesitate.

Preparing to start a family, was the beginning of joy.

We were so blessed to bring home a baby girl and a baby boy.

The toys scattered, the little sounds of children heard every day.

Made our home such a wonderful place in many a wonderful way.

From gardening to cutting the grass.

Watching the children grow, went by way too fast.

We did learn what the meaning of home really did mean.

From the structure to raising our family.

From the moment you walked in the door.

To lay on a rug on our hardwood floor.

It was a place where we grew, where we felt safe and loved every day.

Where memories were made, where our children did play.

As long as we had each other, our home was in our heart.

Even when we travelled, we were never apart.
