Thank you all for visiting. I'll keep my eye out for some free and clear fabric softener, and yes, we're really looking forward to the beach house this summer!<br /><br />Hoping to borrow grandma's camera this weekend so I can get some decent Easter pictures. Maybe I'll end up taking the camera in for repairs. I just don't want to stomach the ~$50 just to get it cleaned!<br /><br />I've heard around the one year mark is when a new city starts to feel like home. We've got a ways to go. I'm hopeful that the beach in the summer will make us feel like we're on vacation! And hopefully we'll get some visitors, too :)Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403300534569346474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-13309431034336876862012-04-04T22:48:41.725-05:002012-04-04T22:48:41.725-05:00I have been thinking about you Blair. I think this...I have been thinking about you Blair. I think this point is always the hardest in a move, since the dust has settled, boxes mostly emptied, new routines started, so the feeling of "this is all there is?!" compared to your old life. Hang in there, it will get easier. I am happy its a weekend drive distance. We'd move and just when I felt we were settled, we'd move back "home" again! <br />Sorry about your camera; when we lived in Galveston, I ruined a few cameras with sand too.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829137471159713745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-73404617596767424122012-04-01T09:21:00.982-05:002012-04-01T09:21:00.982-05:00Moving is hard for sure.

It has been ten years since we moved fromour home in St. Louis to Houston. I am so thankful for all the people and things we have been introduced to. I still miss my mom, sister, brother and family and J's whole family. I still say "back home" when referring to St. Louis. I don't think I want to move back though. I want to move yes but I have loved how close my family is because we have had to make our own traditions and our own fun in life. Sorry I couldn't join you all last night for mom's night. I would have loved to hear more about your new life near the beach!Neenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169665137526513607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-55569309587029294322012-03-30T15:00:37.385-05:002012-03-30T15:00:37.385-05:00I have the tendency to fill my cameras with sand, ...I have the tendency to fill my cameras with sand, too.

I'm not even sure we have a lake or even a swamp near us. ;)<br /><br />I have all sorts of heavy duty armor on my IPhone, too. Paul bought all sorts of layers. I don't even know what a real Iphone looks like. He bought my phone and brought it home to me already protected!!<br /><br />Have fun at that beach house. And congratulations to Stven's parents on 50 years! My parent's celebrated their 40th last summer and we all went up to Minnesota for a mini vacation to celebrate. However, we only had 17 people and well stayed in hotel rooms. :)<br /><br />I meant to also comment on your last post that you get a lot of great shots of all four kids together.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168808776950608457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-11465039204850813572012-03-30T10:18:59.179-05:002012-03-30T10:18:59.179-05:00I think you can get Free & Clear fabric soften...I think you can get Free & Clear fabric softeners too. We use ALL detergent and it would seem I've used something of that vein in the past too.<br /><br />I wonder too if this will ever feel like home, even after 3 years. Yes, it is the place our family comes to and grows and struggles and finds joy. But in my heart, Houston and Texas will always be truly home to me. After 28 years of never being more than 3 hours from my parents, this continues to be a struggle. I think part of it is that all the family and friends are still close to each other down there, and we are the ones that are away. It's not like there are many of us spread out. I can understand the teary feeling about not being close to grandparents... I get that way a lot because most everyone around us was born and raised here so the grandparents are a part of daily life. But God knows all this and he can see my heart :)Kristy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481300607611938119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-86790374912799799952012-03-30T10:11:03.541-05:002012-03-30T10:11:03.541-05:00What a great vacation with your husband's fami...What a great vacation with your husband's family. That sounds like so much fun. Maybe you could get an SLR , but have them put it in the hardcore case that they make for little kid's first camera? And good luck with the adjusting. I moved 19 times by the time I was in fifth grade, so I know that it can be difficult.Ann-Marie Ulczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855303309031758189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-9902465195253195472012-03-30T01:25:19.011-05:002012-03-30T01:25:19.011-05:00I haven't used fabric softener in about a year...I haven't used fabric softener in about a year at home, but then used it when we spent some extended time in Florida this winter.
