Sifting Through Memories!

This past weekend Nick and I traveled to my sisters, where we had been storing countless boxes and totes full of unused items, baby clothes of Jackson, and the whole hodgepodge of other items forgot about. As I am going throught the mounds of things, I am sifting through old memories. We are going to eventually have a yardsale, but for now I am just sifting through things, deciding what to keep, and what to sell, and how much to sell it for. After two totes of baby clothes, I had dug up so many memories. I can remember buying the item, and the first time my little J-man wore the outfit, and where we went while he wore it. I can remember the who history of the item. It was hard for me to decide to get rid of an item, but I realized I cannot keep everything. I did however keep somethings. I kept his first out fit, the one he came home from the hospital in. I kept his first Halloween Costume. I kept the outfit that he got baptized in. I am sure that I will come across a few more items to keep. I will always remember the other things, but don't need to keep everything, because the memories are in my heart.
