The End of an Era…

IMAG0126You’re probably going to laugh, but today I shed a tear for a chair. This wasn’t just any chair, it was the greatest IMG_4348chair. Great for reading, feeding, rocking, photo shooting, snuggling with Susu, and listening to tunes, among other things. It was the last piece to the first real set of furniture we IMG_0719_editbought, we sold the other pieces before moving. It was really too big for the corner of our piano/living room, so I decided it was timeIMG_4475_edit for it to find a new home. It was also in the spot we put the Christmas tree in and was really hard to get into our bedroom during Christmas tree season. I think most of all for me, it represented babies. Max 003_editIt was my favorite place to sit and nurse our babies in. I know we are done having babies at our house, but seeing tha013_editt chair leave was harder then I thought it would be. I know it went to the right home though, a family expecting their first baby in a couple of months. A girl… very fitting. I hope they love the chair as much as we have.IMAG0142

Ahhhhhhh I will miss that chair! I don't think I could do that...well I know I couldn't. It would first have to move downstairs, then disappear when I wasn't looking. I know shocking!

I can totally relate! When I was expecting Hannah, my Dad let me "borrow" his lazy boy chair. Now, 12 yeas later, it is still my favorite place to cuddle my kids for movie nights! It is ugly, worn and the most comfortable seat in the house. Lots of memories in that chair. Great post!
