What do you see?? Just a brown couch right?
But let me tell you about this beauty!! Its been with us for 7 years!!!! We got this couch when we were living in Montana so its travel from Montana to Tennessee and three different moves after that.
Here we are on our first Christmas apart from our families ( while we were in Montana.)
This is the first photo we sent Connor of us, letting him know that we were his family and we could not wait to meet him!!
We made a video and sang Connor songs and the first time we told him we loved him and would see him soon was while we were sitting on this very couch.
(Also this is my great Grandpas guitar Jeremy played when we sent Connors video so its extra special because of that too.)
So as you can see this couch holds so many memories, but im not even to the best ones yet! Connor had been home one week here.
Connor didnt show affection at first, unless we initiated it. While watching cartoons one day he reach over and took my hand and held it for a long time. We were sitting on this couch.
The first time he called me "Mama" I was sitting on this couch, So many precious memories and milestones involved this couch.
Every month for Connors first year home I took his picture on this couch.
( This is the outfit Connor wore when we brought him home.)
I snapped this photo the morning of Connors 4th birthday ( his first birthday with us).
Connors first Thanksgiving with us.
And when we uploaded Connors picture with the #Lifeisbetterwithyou to show Iceland that eradicating Down Syndrome is a BIG mistake you just happen to be on the couch again.
So many memories that were all surrounding this couch, all by complete accident and yet there it is. A staple in our family for so many years.
Today we said goodbye to this couch cause it was time to let it be a staple for someone elses family.
Yep, its just a old worn brown couch, but to us it was so much more!!
