final weekend together in our much loved home

so, tonight begins our final weekend together in our home of nearly 20 years.  
several years ago the youngest girls started a campaign for us to move 
because they had never lived anywhere else. 
 the boys did not agree and mary-catherine was fairly impartial.

well, here we are.  not sure how we all feel.  mixed feelings to say the least.  
taylor and mary-catherine are flying into houston this evening, late.  
i decided a few weeks ago that we all needed this.......a final weekend to mourn the loss of this house and celebrate our new beginning together.

i want it to go so well.  don't want to stress anyone, though.  because that is not fun and i have a tendency to do that.  in anticipation of this weekend i found someone online to paint this for me.  and i have a copy for each of the kids.  
cannot get this to rotate!  sorry.
the only concern i have now for the weekend is that we will repeat the scene when we moved in here.  zack is on an oil spill in galveston and may not be able to get away....ugh.  makes me so sad, but this is the story of our lives.  

poor zack really.  he is going to to be so sad. 

 i'm going to pray.

I love that you had a painting done for each of your kids. How awesome for them to have a painting of their childhood home! And, I also love that you did one last weekend all together in the house. Hop Zack was able to make it. Where are you moving to?

Taylor jumping in the pool w/ Lily...that's what I'll remember, this last Sat. night. Lots and lots of fun on Horseshoe Lane. But there will be more, just another house.

Thanks for the good times! We love you all.
