Goodbye Connecticut

It is hard to believe that two years has come and gone so quickly and within these two years so much has changed for us. While we are excited to start the next chapter in our lives, we are sad to leave Ridgefield and the wonderful friends we have made during our time here. It is our last night here in Connecticut and I still don't quite think it has hit me that we are leaving for good. When I think back to when we first decided to move to Connecticut, I never imagined how much our lives would be changed for the better.

We arrived in Ridgefield as a family of two eager to settle in and make new friends.....



....and we are leaving Connecticut as a family of three plus a second bundle of joy on the way, with many new friends and an experience we won't ever forget.




I had to borrow this quote from my friend Janelle's blog because it captured everything so perfectly and it made my cry......

"Before you walk into your home with your new baby, stop and mentally photograph this house so that you can keep it in your heart forever. In this mobile society of ours, there's a good chance that your child will not live in this place till she goes to college. You may move two or three more times during her childhood, especially if you find you like this mothering business and have more kids. But this will always be Bethlehem to you, the place where your family was born. You may not know it yet, but your most precious memories are about to be created here, it's where you brought your first child. Welcome home!"
