Clearout

I did a little organizing and clearing out this past weekend. I have such a sense of accomplishment. I love sorting (and getting rid of things!!!!). I knew there was a lot of junk in our attic, but now I can happily say, 'There is LESS junk in our attic'.

There were two things that were hard for me to get rid of though. They were these two pairs of shoes:





















The white ones were Jack's second pair of shoes (actual wearing and walking in shoes). The red ones were Theo's second pair of shoes (actual wearing and walking in shoes). I have kept both of their first shoes in a keepsake box. I truly think it is right to get rid of these shoes, but I just remember putting each one of these pairs of shoes on their little feet like it was yesterday. It was hard enough to get rid of them that I made Charles take them to the bin and throw them away but not before I took the above pictures. Such fun memories!

You have my complete sympathy. I still have pictures that you and your siblings drew in kindergarten, first grade etc. Taking pictures is a good way to preserve memories.
