Saturday Morning Scene - Saying Goodbye


I'm linking up with Katie today to share our Saturday Morning Scene.  Here's ours:


We are saying goodbye to the baby stuff (sob).  We kept all of Emma's old things for Sophia, but now that she's getting so big (sniff, sniff), we need to start making some space and get rid of what we aren't using (tear).  Our neighborhood is having a yard sale, so we thought this would be a great time to do it (boo hoo).

It is so hard to let go of some of these items, because I so vividly remember what my babies looked like wearing them or using them. Like this one:

Emma wore this when she went on her first outing to Target.  She also gave her first smile in this onesie.



Then there's this one:
Who can forget my sweet Sophia, caught on camera right before a sneeze, but looking scared out of her mind?


We're also selling some of our other baby things that we will be sad to say goodbye to.  Such as our beloved swing.

This was by far the best purchase we have ever made.  It helped us survive colic, reflux and sleep problems with both of our girls.  The songs that played while it was in motion were the soundtrack for our lives for quite some time.  We were actually looking forward to taking it out of storage when Sophia was born.

Of course, there are some things that we will save forever.  Like Andy's favorite pair of pajama's that were worn by both girls:


I can neither confirm nor deny if I was sobbing as I pulled each item out of the storage bags.  I also may or may not weep as each item goes home with it's new owner.  Andy may banish me to the house so that I don't freak out the potential customers.

Now head on over to Loves of Life to see what others are doing this Saturday morning.  I can almost guarantee that the other participants will not be an emotional wreck while folding clothes.

Sob, sob, sob.

Oh that is sad. I got sad just thinking about doing the same thing. We're saving ours in case we have another girl but when the time comes for them to go I'm sure I will shed some tears!

Saying hey from SMS! So many cute tiny girly things! I've been working on my little guy's stash and it's definitely a pain to store them, but we hope for a little brother someday! If not, they'd be gonners!

Have a super weekend!

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that has a hard time with this! It's so hard to see your babies grow up!

I am sad to see all that clothes. I remember when Emma wore a lot of those clothes, and now Sophia too. No way, I don't think I could do it. I am very sad now!
