After two long days on the road, we finally turned right onto county road 39. As we caravaned toward the house, we blared our horns and shouted. My mom, Carley and the kids were there to greet us and it felt good to finally be " there".
My parents bought their house ( though the original is long gone, twice replaced by newer , more accomodating houses.) and the 10 acres it was on in 1988 and have lived here ever since. It's been the place that saw my sisters and I grow and now watches our kids blossom. Over the years the scenery has changed but there have always been farm animals and a garden. These are two of Mackenzie's favorite things about " Codorado".
In fact, Mack thinks that Codorado is Gram's and Papa's. If we make the 10 mile ( in either direction) drive " into town" , Mack asks when we're going back to Codorado. She now understands that we are far from Michigan though there are many ways to bridge the miles.
Mackenzie loves having Brooklyn and Kaleb to play with and learn from. The three of them come up with all sorts of fun things to do. Being near Brook and Kaleb makes us miss Nicole, Ben and cousins Taylor and Cole:
My mom's dog Buddy is quiet the character and makes a great greeter:
And it's always good to be welcomed back by my mom!
