Just doing a quick update:) Still trying to figure out internet for the new house and I've really just enjoyed this month long break from email, blogs, etc. I've been concentrating on getting things unpacked. Still have our room and the schoolroom to do but I'll get there. We actually did some schoolwork these last two weeks. Michael is still traveling to Vegas and will be until the end of February. It feels so weird to be in a strange place where you don't know anyone! At least before I've had hubby, not so this time, it's just me and the kids! Oh well.
The house is growing on me. Just the right size. Big enough for a family of 7 but small enough for me to be able to keep clean. The neighborhood is very quiet. We're in a gated community so not lots of traffic.
Right now we're in Washington at my Dad's house. We flew in yesterday. The trip went VERY well. We made through security very easily and the kids were very well behaved. Even Hailey. We were seated in the front row so we had extra leg room and I was able to set her up on the floor with toys and snacks. She just had a good ole time! Dad's 50th birthday party is on Friday.
We're having dinner at a restaurant and then heading to Chuck E. Cheese for fun. I've enjoyed seeing my Grandma. She looks and is doing so good up here. You'd never know she had terminal lung cancer! They are taking very good care of her. Well, better go.
Love,

Just checked in to see how you were doing. Glad to hear you are feeling better and that the house is growing on you.

I'm sorry your dh had to be gone when you were so new to town...reminds me of military moves.

Jen, I'm just checking in too! I hated taking a break when we moved, but I LOVED the freedom from the computer!!!! Glad that all is going well with the move and that you're happily adjusting.

And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!
