Memories
I have been getting all of Murdoch's old clothes out to wash and either get ready for Thayer or give away to one of our friends. I have so many clothes and there really is no reason to keep them all. After I washed them and finally started to fold them a lot of memories came back to me that were associated to clothes that Murdoch wore and specific events. I remember a particular outfit that he wore during a family trip to Maine, his first Halloween costume, and several others. It was a little depressing and sad to know that my little guy has grown so much. On one hand I want to keep them but that isn't going to bring back my little guy it is just going to junk up my basement a little more and be one more box I need to move in a few years. I know this will happen over and over again - different things that the kids outgrow will hold specific memories for me and it will be a little depressing but there are more memories ahead so I am trying to focus on those.

Ah yes, how quickly, how quickly - especially when there are two. Have fun this week -
well said....it's the reason I have nine boxes of clothes in the attic. And to think I've given boxes away, sold stuff at consignment sales, and I still have too much. the memories are way too strong, and it makes me way too sad to think of Grace and Julia never being that small again.
