Compass

February 7, 2010

denaroblestravels

West Coast to East Coast, across the ocean and North, back again and South and now North midWest. My compass is spinning and going wonky as we get ready to make ourselves a new home in a new direction in Michigan. I am only half joking when I say I am moving home in an effort to collect as many accents as I can. I just spent a marathon weekend (shivering) in Grand Rapids looking for the right house. Happy to say I think we are getting close. But wait, wasn’t it just a month ago that I UNpacked the last box here in NC? Here we go again. I have a good feeling about this one…

Rebecca: What exactly does a Michigan accent sound like, anyway? I'm sure whatever it is, Cam will wear it well. Glad you're "home" again. :)

Paul Dunn: Getting closer....

Paula: I love your photos. Probably the first time I've commented. Michigan is my home state. I love Michigan. Good luck there. It's a tough state to be in right now. I'm south of you in Indiana...unemployed... but would love it if my dh found employment back in Michigan. Welcome to the world of the roof rake! (I lived in metro detroit for 45 yrs of my life, but GR is in the snow belt...so GET READY!) Hey...at least they know how to plow the roads there!

The View

August 10, 2009

This is one of the views I remember from my childhood…recaptured tonight as I walked my parents’ dog. The sunsets always were incredible here.

We still have one more week of travel ahead of us. I think another trip to the beach is in order!

Tara: Simply lovely!

Christine: Lovely flare... I love nature shots like these! :)

Sherr W: Absolutely breathtaking! Sigh!

Kristie Chadwick: Beautiful!

Cindy: I love how the golden hues blanket the field. The entire image speaks warmth and welcome to me.

ally breazeale: it's an amazing thing to capture a memory like this ~ gorgeous.

Stacie: That is so gorgeous.

Patsy Dunn: I think that it is amazing how the sun around here can turn EVERYTHING pink or gold. Definitely something that I love about this area. Great photo.

Rebecca: Oooh, I love this kid. He is so full of life. And his chunky little bum (and body) is just to die for. I can't believe how much he's changed in a year. And that he's nearly TWO. Give him a squeeze for me ... :)

Learning to draw.

He has been sitting in this chair in every spare moment of the day, intent on his drawings for 4 days straight. I could wallpaper my bedroom with the amount of paper he has decorated. It’s his new ‘thing.’ And I love it.

Shellie Gansz: So precious!! It's awesome that you have all these little moments captured!

ally breazeale: what a moment you have here. so fleeting! this is one i'd print and hide in my journal for a sweet memory years down the road.

Rebecca: That child doesn't do anything half-heartedly, does he? I love him so much and can't wait to see him in July. xoxo
