I'...I'm so glad your parents are back home. I've been wondering about them, though it's sad they aren't going to be staying at the lake house. How are renovations going at your mom's school? Will they be back for the start of the next school year?<br /><br />I always do swim suits in my Cora's Easter basket too. This year we also did a beach towel and a snorkel set (all to be used when we go to Cozumel in a couple of weeks, we're supposed to get snow tomorrow). Random side note, Cabana life is doing a warehouse sale and I typed in the code that you shared long ago and it took 20% off my total!

Our friends in Kingwood (Barrington) are hoping to be living downstairs by June! They have been living upstairs with some modifications since two weeks after Harvey decimated their forever home. Mitzi said that after this experience she could live in a tiny house and be content!<br /><br />Easter baskets: Michelle & I were just having a discussion about Easter baskets. Bruce & I grew up with just candy in our baskets & hunting real dyed eggs-not plastic. Before the kids were old enough to eat candy they got a book & a beanie baby or something like that. I'd never heard of people actually giving gifts for Easter until about 10 years ago. We were taught that the greatest gift was already given in Jesus' resurrection and forgiveness of our sins. Michelle couldn't understand how people that weren't Christians could even celebrate Easter because it's not about a big, dumb bunny that hides eggs :) Seriously? Who came up with that idea?! hahaha So when my grandkids are asked at school, "what did you get for Easter?" their response will be eternal life-and some candy. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350470048149956082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-31822244002902170102018-04-05T14:10:56.184-05:002018-04-05T14:10:56.184-05:00I welled up with tears seeing your mom's eyes ...I welled up with tears seeing your mom's eyes behind that mask again, and I am also so happy they are back home. Congratulations on all of you surviving such very hard & painful circumstances! My cousins are just moving back in to their place (along with their two little boys), too. It's been so hard on so many. I hope CO will become a new and special memory building place for y'all. Your whole family looks Easter-beautiful!

And I think a bit poetic, that it happened at Spring/Easter. All things are new again. :-)<br /><br />Sounds like a perfect weekend!Mrs.Gritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968816054769805209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-45521206209030990352018-04-05T08:42:02.911-05:002018-04-05T08:42:02.911-05:00I'm excited that your parents are back in thei...I'm excited that your parents are back in their house! My mom's house got destroyed by Irma and she's still in the process of renovating. My mom also feels "done" with her house. Even though hurricanes rarely hit where she is (Naples, FL) she feels like it's just going to happen again and she just can't do it anymore. I get it. I'm urging her to sell once it's complete.

I throw in bubbles, chalk & a book or two, and a few pieces of candy and DONE! We also put small boxes of raisins in our Easter eggs (the worst, according to my oldest son). <br /><br />I hate they aren't loving their house anymore, but I get it. We bought a house 2 years ago we thought we would stay in for the next 15 years. It required a full renovation, that wasn't complete when we had to move in, and since then, have had to do additional renovations and more projects and I'm just... done. We are meeting with builders and doing a custom build because I have very little good memories of this house and it's causing significant frustration with me. I wanted to love it and I don't. And I don't want to keep dumping money and time and effort into it, and so, we will build. Same neighborhood (we own the empty lot next to our house, and both are on 5+ acres) but I'll get what I want and it will all be new, and that sounds amazing at this stage of my life with 4 young kids. So, I understand where your parents are coming from. <br /><br />If your sister is in CO, and your parents move there... when will you transfer to the Denver office of the SEC? Haha.
