Old treasures

Since 1/3 of our garage has been taken up by storage, of which 2/3 is junk, we finally spent some time over the weekend sorting through it all. I love throwing things away and getting rid of clutter, so this was not a hard thing for me to do. However, I did come across a few things that I just couldn't part with.

Like this book.

This was Kali's favorite book when she was a baby. It was the first book she memorized and could recite before she was two years old. We even had our own wild rumpus dance. I just couldn't part with this book.

We also found lots of old pictures and videos that I will have to go through and do something with. I think I even have a recording of Kali reading Where The Wild Things Are somewhere in that pile.

It was a day spent feeling nostalgic for sure.

I came across this picture on my computer today of Emi taken not too long after moving here to Oklahoma. 

Can't believe how much she has grown in this short time!
