Reality is Setting In


I think this was the "straw that broke the camel's back" yesterday!  For me, it made our move seem real!  Richard decided that we should sell the playset.  It's kind of small for Kamdyn and we just weren't up for having the mover move this to Raleigh.  After a few minutes on Craigslist, Richard had 20 emails.  This little couple drove from Columbia to take our playset away.  A few tears slipped down my face as I watched them disassemble it.  I will never forget the  Christmas day that Kamdyn got this from Aunt Kathy and Uncle Jim.  We were trying to keep it from her until after lunch.  Instead, she went into our bedroom and was looking out the window.  She said in her sweetest 3-year-old-voice, "Oh, LOOK!  Someone got a new playset!"  It never occurred to her that it actually belonged to her.  It was a moment that I will NEVER forget!

This playset has been special to our family, too.  Karcie just mastered climbing the ladder/rock wall.  She loves to swing and can even swing in the big girl swing.  Kamdyn cried when she realized it was gone.  Karcie didn't seem to notice or care. :)  We will create a new play-set in Raleigh and will have lots of new memories.

Just a Swingin'

Richard put together the swing this week.  Karcie LOVES to be held at all times.  While I love holding her, I do have to put her down occasionally to do other things....mainly, to take care of big sister and her needs!  I thought the swing may be a good solution.  The swing was in perfect condition because Kamdyn HATED the swing!  Turns out, Karcie HATES it, too!  I still haven't given up on the swing all together, but it looks as if the swing will not be used as my hands free device.  BOO!


NOT HAPPY in the swing even with the pacifier!  :(
