When I was a young mother, I would get exasperated with all the toys on the floor. If the children did not pick them up, I would take a trash bag and scoop them up - then leave them in the garage for a few months. Later when the children promised to take care of their belongings I would bring back the trash bag and give them back their toys. The excitement of getting their toys again was a lot like opening presents at Christmas.
I now know exactly how my children felt when the movers came and we unpacked out belongings! What was packed up in April is now a wonderful present in July.
Anticipation
 |
| They arrived and opened the doors |
Hauling it all in
 |
| There were about 37 packages big and small |
Checking for Damage
 |
| It was noted only two things were broken, a stand and glass in a picture. But everything else came out just fine! |
Opening the boxes
 |
| A little mountain of boxes and packaging after we opened our "presents"! (just like Christmas) |
Reconnected with Family
 |
| I have been listening to the laughter of children on our Frame. Life is good. |
Now I am looking forward to sewing and Jeffrey is happy his books are close. Nice!
