Bitter Sweet

Hooray for the first box!

On Monday, Ellie, Kahlei and I packed our very first box as we organise, purge and prepare to put the house on the market. It was a long, tedious task as both girls were very keen on 'helping' and Ellie in particular, was in love with cooing over the "little, tiny baby clothes" with the "cute baby buttons" that we were packing away. Eventually, we did have a beautifully packed box full of little pink clothes.

I can't even begin to describe the relief I am experiencing now that it actually feels like we're going to move and it's starting to feel imminent. Or a tad more imminent than it was.

On the other hand, packing away those little clothes, knowing that when we get that box out again it will be for somebody else's bubba girl, left me feeling nostalgic and quite misty eyed. Once Phoenix is here we're done, but the finality of closing that box gave me a tug at the heart strings.
