Farewell!

Tonight we closed and locked the door at 2545 Monterey St. with the keys inside. We said one last farewell to each room and I shot some video as the kids danced in their rooms. All seemed ok...until we went outside and Owen broke down in tears, I followed and then Jackson! Michael held us all together by telling funny stories of things that happened during our almost 8 years in this home. The boys began to laugh. We closed the garage door and Michael met me at the front door to lock it behind me. The boys got into the truck together and as we got near the truck we heard them both crying again! Jackson had asked Owen what his favorite part of the house was and that made him cry; again! By the time we made it back to our "Summer" Condo, the boys were in good spirits and Owen said, "I think I'll like it here." I asked him not to get too attached because we were moving on to something better soon! They took a jacuzzi bath together before bed and snuggled in! It's now just after Midnight and I think after I unpack a couple more boxes, I too will go snuggle in for the night.
