So Long, Farewell

So my one and only son is 9 1/2 years old. I have been saving all his clothes since he was born so that when we had another boy, he'd have something to wear. And Zac had the cutest clothes when he was a baby! Well, 9 1/2 years, 8 big boxes of clothes, and 3 girls later I decided enough was enough. I am tired of saving clothes that will never be used again. When and if we ever have another boy the clothes will be more than 10 years old. I figured someone should get some use out of them so I invited 2 of my friends over who have boys at different ages and one on the way. They went through the clothes and HOORAY!!! We got rid of them all. Seeing some of those clothes brought back some memories. The only time I got really sentimental was when they pulled out his Dallas Cowboys jersey he had when he was 1. He used to wear that all the time and he was so little tiny and cute! The other thing that made me sentimental is an old navy shirt with a dog on it that he and Sam had matching shirts. I have a video of them together wearing those shirts. When I started to get sentimental my friends asked if I wanted to keep those things. I came to my senses and said, NO TAKE IT ALL! We have also decided that as Addison outgrows things we are giving them away too. We aren't making any announcements, so don't get all excited. If we ever have another baby we will just have to go shopping.

You don't have to make that announcement, Steve already made it for you.

I know it was hard, but didn't it feel good when you finally let go of those things?
