Goodbye old house...

Last Friday we closed on the sale of our house in Dodge Center. Last Tuesday we made one last trip and cleaned out the last of the remaining stuff/junk. There were lots of emotions from everyone. Maddie was, well, clueless and relatively happy until she got hungry. I think Libby was very unsure of the situation and that exhibited itself in misbehavior. While goofing around with Libby, Martin was a little more introspective and obviously more aware of what was going on. There was even some sniffling and tears about 5 miles down the road as reality set in.

We closed on the purchase of that house on Dec 3, 2004. In ten years, the population in that house almost tripled. Although we leave the house behind, the memories will come with us.
