Today it is official...my great-aunt Colleen Buescher, Phil and I signed the papers that make our "new" home ours. Connor came along and we all met at the lawyer's office in Sutton, NE on this warm September day. It was exciting, but definitely emotional as well. Connor picked up on this also. After we signed and Colleen gave us some special gifts, we walked to our separate vehicles. Connor said, "Mom, did she really want to sell this to us?" He could tell that Colleen was sad. I felt bad that she was feeling sad, but I understood that this was a very big deal to her. This home is a large piece of her life, including memories of her parents, grandparents, sisters, and other family members. As we drove towards our home in Clay Center, I unwrapped a special gift that Colleen asked me not to open until we left. It was a photo book she created that included the history of our "new" home and our ancestors who built and owned it prior to us. It was neat, to say the least, and finally I was able to put faces to the names I had heard about from Colleen. Connor spent the remainder of the ride home taking pictures of the pictures in the book :) with his new ipod, so he could send them to his grandma Kohmetscher (my mom). It was finally all making some sense to him, as well!
