My last blod post we shortly after Ellanore was born!!! Well.... She is just two weeks shy of turning two and has an almost 3 month old baby sister , Posey! And we are back living in Michigan! A lot had changed. So let's start there: Michigan. We have been back for 5 days... We traded this beautiful weather and beautiful blooming trees...
For this...snow! 
Now it is not completely unheard of for Michigan to have snowfall in April. But of course, no matter how long you live here, people still grump about it! I feel like my 3 years in the south gave me the allowance to grump about it... I mainly just drank hot coffee all day and snuggled :)
However my childrens were a bit terrified because "it's not supposed to snow in the springtime!"-Owen 
Owen, you are so so wise :)
This first week has been good. We are pretty much all unpacked and settled with our things, my parents have come to visit and spoiled the kids already :) we had our friends over for dinner(praying this is a weekly event ! ) and the kids and I are taking our first trip up to my parents house this weekend. They ( the kids) do not understand why we don't live a stones through from grandma and grandpa but hopefully they realize that 2 hours is much much more doable than the 13 hour drive they so graciously and generously drove many many times before :)
Our new home is on a farm. 85 acres. We can have any livestock we would live , can hunt small game , grow a garden, have bonfires and roam the 85 acres to our hearts content!! Very exciting, especially for young kids. It is going to be our adventure house. It is not our dream location by any mean , especially coming from the amazing RVA and all that wonderful city offered. But I am excited for this year (maybe less )long adventure until we find our forever house in a bit more urban area ;)
The house itself is much differnent that what we are used to. First off it's HUGE ! 5 bedrooms, eat in kitchen, dinning room, living room, two full baths , huge basement, walk in attic, front porch , back porch sun room, and a second kitchen upstairs!(nonfunctional) it's a whole lot of house!
The second kitchen upstairs is the perfect area for home school and crafts, I am excited about that :)
The move back to Michigan was harder than I expected, but I am focused in the good and there is a lot of that. This year is the start of a new adventure. I am nervous, excited, homesick for Richmond but grateful for our time there and the fond memories I have of it.
So that pretty much sums up our first week in our new place as quick as possible. We are at my parents now and the kids are right at home ;) we haven't been here in a year but they know it like the back of their hand! So we are gonna chance the last few ray of sunlight for the day and enjoy the adventure :)
