We moved onto the lane almost exactly 18 years ago. Ryan was 3, Lauren was 1, and Erin was born 2 weeks after we moved in. Sheridan was born 6 years later, and We brought Jordan and Cameron here in 2013. So...lots of memories have been made here. I've been thinking about the best memories....here's things I'll be happy to remember:
Birthday parties...Ryan's train party, Lauren's flower pot party. Erin's craft party. Sheridan's polka dot party.
Ryan and Lauren's graduation gatherings.
Fat Bat games in the front yard. Bocce ball all over the neighborhood.
Baseball and soccer team post season parties.
Having the kids' friends coming in and out every season: Trey, Luke, Alex, Lexi, & Arie.
Parenting Classes, Life Groups and Sunday School fellowships.
Playing games of Nertz on the living room floor with a house full of teenagers.
Driving onto the lane in the fall.
Eating outside on our back deck.
Working in the yard together, hoping Richard doesn't burn down the back fence when he burns the pile of brush.
The kids climbing on the house putting up lights for me. The Christmas tree, hot chocolate and presents in the living room. Stockings hung on the mantle.
Gotcha Day party.
