and on the last night they’ll ever spend

before moving to their wonderful new location for their wonderful new adventures
we celebrate by finally getting to eat in the living room without sneaking.

stitching fabrics of his choosing
that he’s learned to sew upon

as the sled stands outside
with hopes of snowy day.

experiencing the butterfly house

not bad for a day’s work.
