We have a wonderful porch swing on our porch. It has seen many milestones of Sarah Paulson Tate. I napped on it as a staff girl. Josh and I were sitting on it the first time he told me he loved me. I held Bowden on it to rock him to sleep the first summer we moved out, and Josh has since rocked Lucy to sleep on it when she's especially cranky.
I moved it more towards the middle of our porch when we made the porch a play area for Bowden, but it has not changed how central it is to our home.
We now play a game on it, in which we swing back as far as we can without hitting the wall, and then let one side go and hold the other back to "rock the ship." Bowden loves it, and so does Lucy- she was copying our "Ohs!"
