Memories at Home

As I was rocking Elijah to sleep for his morning nap, I started thinking about all the great memories we will make in this house. This house means happiness, tears, learning, struggles, laughter and memories. I want to be old and gray and look back on these walls and hear the laughter and see the tears. We moved into this house after lots of looking for the perfect one. We planned, saved, studied and prayed for a nice cozy house in a safe neighborhood where this baby that was in my womb would grow up safe and happy like any child should. When we found our house, we were so excited, it even had a nursery all done!
This house is the first house my baby will live in, the first house my husband and I bought and hopefully the first house our future children will have. I hope our children can come to our house and pick out the dents and scratches on the walls and recall the memories to their children. I pray that we will have lots of family meals, holidays and birthdays in this house. I also pray that we will have lots of learning in this house.

Elijah has the most contagious laugh that I hope these walls remember for years to come :)
