I know I’m behind on the new home<\/a> updates (and the old home projects) but life keeps whirling by.\u00a0 And last week, we finally moved!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s a funny thing spending a year building a new home, watching it every step of the way, anticipating the time when you’ll be there, kind of longing for the next big thing.<\/p>\n

And then when the big day comes and all that’s left in the old house is your tiny daughter, slurping down a lemon-berry slush the size of her head….you suddenly realize how good this home was too you….and how–just like your favorite college roommate of 4 years–you’re really going to miss her blue personality and smooth blonde feet.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI honestly didn’t think I’d be so sad saying goodbye to our first home.\u00a0 I mean, it’s just 3 miles down the road from the new place.\u00a0 I can drive by any time.\u00a0 But even typing this makes me a little teary eyed.\u00a0 Maybe because I see how much we’ve grown as a family and how MADE has grown as a blog here in this house.\u00a0 And it makes me think back to how it was when we first moved in…..
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n…and the moving truck didn’t show up for 4 days, so we hung out in camping chairs with Grandma and Jenga.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI keep thinking how little the kids were then.\u00a0 Owen was the same age that Clara is now.\u00a0 And how personalities (and faces) never change….
\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>
\nLife seemed simpler, and yet harder in other ways.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nBeing in a new state and far from family, we learned to make new friends, explore new places, to steer clear of fire ants, to eat Texas BBQ at gas station restaurants.\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe watched our place go from a house to a home.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe watched Lucy’s feet touch the ground,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nand Owen’s knees pass up the handlebars.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe had ice cream on the back porch,
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nand pirate adventures.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd then one day, there were three.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThis will always be the house that Clara came home to.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nand where she grew into the spunky little two-year-old we love.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSome things will come with us to the next house.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd some time-outs we’ll leave behind.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd we have you–little blue house–to Thank for the good ride.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course I still have many home improvement posts to share here on MADE, so I guess it’s not an official goodbye yet.<\/p>\n

It’s just time to make new memories at the new house.
\nBut with the same old hearts.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nMore to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
