Goodbye House

March 2005


Dear 20209,

With all the packing and purging hullabaloo going on, I haven't really had time to think about what you have meant to me. You will definitely be missed.  I will never forget walking up the front steps, carrying my precious cargo in March 2007 and again in February 2009.  You've kept us warm, dry and safe and are the site of so so many wonderful memories we will carry with us the rest of our lives.  Whenever we think of the Lainey and Beau's "firsts," you will be there too.  They took their first steps in the same place and each has claimed a room of their own.  They love their play room and Lainey knows exactly just how fast she can run around the corner before she has to lean into it or crash.  Beau has mastered crawling at superhero speed across the hardwood floors.  Both of them are so comfortable here that neither leaves their socks on for long. We've all made some new friends here and in neighborhood.   You have seen a lot of love, happiness and joy and I hope you will see more of the same.  What I will miss the most: taking nice long bubble baths in the corner bathtub.  You witnessed our transition from a couple to a family and you will forever be a part of our memories.

Thanks for a great 4 1/2 years!

The Reid Family
