What a day!  We sold the house today!  I'm elated that we don't have to worry about the house on Rosalind anymore.  However, we will miss it dearly.  We have many pleasant memories, and it was Debbie's first house, so it will always hold a special place in our hearts.  However, as much as we wish it wouldn't, life forces changes on us which we wish we didn't have to face. Moving out of the house was difficult, and the finality of actually selling it will eventually sink in.  I want to celebrate and embrace the change, however a part of me is saddened at the thought of not being able to return "home" to Roanoke. Yet, life goes on.

Speaking of going on!  Abby took charge today and fed herself.  Debbie stopped by the office and while she was strapping Abby back into the carrier, she gave Abby her bottle.  Abby grabbed it with both hands and held it up to keep the milk flowing!  It was great!  A proud moment for both parents. She's only three months old, and yet it seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.  As much as I want my children to grow up strong and healthy, another part of me would love to have them stay young, sweet and innocent. When the smile on your child's face when they see you melts your heart. When they do things which fill you with pride; these are the moments we cherish and want to experience again and again.
