Houses 2, 3, 4, and 5

I don't have a digital photo of our first house. I'm working on getting one, but all of our photos from back then were on film.

These others have set the stage for our lives. Some homes came with big trees, some with tiny lollipop trees. Some came in comfortably established neighborhoods, some were the first-born of the new neighborhoods. Two backed up to cotton fields, three backed up to alley ways, one backs up to a pond, one backed up to a wall of poison ivy! In three of them, I've rocked our children to sleep. Three of them, we built. One of them was, no doubt, temporary. One of them we bought on a whim--on the way to lunch one Saturday afternoon. One of them had a basement. All of them housed our dogs. Two of them were small, two were medium-sized, and one was large. Two faced north, one faced east, and two faced south. In one of them, we put up wallpaper. In one of them, we took down a LOT of wallpaper. In three of them, we painted rooms. In four of them were fireplaces...that were never, EVER, used. In each and every one of them, we had gatherings with friends and family. Each home comes with many stories, hard work, indoor improvement projects, outdoor landscaping work, and a ton of memories.
