The house

I don't even know how to make this post.  11 years ago we moved to Harrisburg and after shortly living in an apartment we decided to look for a starter home.  After looking at some cape cods in our neighborhood we came across this house for sale.  Our agent had to do a bit of digging to get information on it as it just listed and wasn't even show ready yet.  We finally got in and despite having all the qualities I didn't want in a house (1 bathroom, no dishwasher, etc...) we knew it was "our" house.  The Lord blessed us knowing that had we started in something smaller, with the kids and me working part time there is no way we ever would have been able to upgrade for many years.  He knew this was just what we needed and we have had countless wonderful memories here.  We have loved the space, the yard and being able to host many many friends and family over the years.  While we know it's time to move on, and despite our own wishes of moving south, we've been shown our need to stay here and been blessed with the opportunity for combined living with my mom, we will surly treasure this house in our hearts forever!

After almost his whole life, he finally realized shortly before we moved out the "holes" lead to the basement and they spent a good hour dropping stuff down to each other:).


So so many family dinners at this table (which Nate built)!







Will miss our wonderful neighbors!


 And our neighborhood walks





Goodbye Forster Street...

Happy to see it go to a good family:)


Easter 2017

And we got back up north JUST in time for Easter! 
Planting the jelly beans...



dying the eggs...


All set for the bunny!


And the jelly beans did their thing sprouting to lollipops! 




It was a bit silly hosting Easter dinner the day after a week+ long trip down south in a half empty house but couldn't pass up the last opportunity to host a holiday in this house that we've had SO much joy hosting in all these years:).
