unload / remove
L - Nikon, T - phone pic
Yesterday we packed my car to the brim with T's belongings - it took 4 people 3 trips, up and down 4 flights of stairs, to get it done. Today I unpacked the car to put "her" back in her room. Well at least I didn't have 4 flights of stairs to tend with. But where did all of that stuff fit before? I guess if there was room before there will be room enough still – but it sure seems like a lot more than when she left. I'll be glad to have her home next weekend. / my room is so sad looking now. even removing the polaroids and stuff from my bulletin board was sad. i left the calendars, turned to a new month, on the board for this week just so it wouldn't be completely bare. ours was a room others liked to visit... it was inviting, neat and clean... we will miss this little place so much.
Oh I remember that bunny mask fondly.

The photos on the left are taken by me, Leslye, the mother. The photos on the right are taken by my daughter, Taylor – unless otherwise noted. Comments are always welcome. thanks
If you care to visit, I, Leslye, have another blog - AutumnSun where I ramble around different paths and pleasures of my own.

I an inspired by the close relationship you two share. Wonderful!
Yes, that bunny mask on that coat rack cracks me up!
And T. I know that sadness of leaving a barren room that was once happiness. It's something that stays with you but later becomes a kind memory.
How exciting that summer is coming and your little chicken is returning to her nest.
It's a good thing you've been doing boot camp so you were able to do all those stairs!
That's so nice that your room was one that others liked to visit.
I am clapping that you are back home. If only for a few months. That is worth the move. Right? ; )
i love this pair of photos. i love what you have written, as well. i remember these days. that is what i love about coming to your blog. it brings back good memories of me and my mum. :)
beautiful juxtaposition and what a sweet but sad feeling - the joy of coming home to loved ones but the saddness of leaving the little niche in the world.
oh what a school year it has been ~these images really look so right together...welcome home T!!
my "chick" will be home next weekend for the summer...bliss!
