Miranda's Musings: Lots of catching up to do

So I realize I have been M.I.A again due to the big move. Well needless to say I have a lot of catching up to do. We have officially moved into our house, and I just cant say enough positive things about it. Its perfect for me and my brood. We are pretty much all settled with only a few boxes here and ther that need to be unpacked. We started our decorating (putting up pics and things) a couple of days ago and its really coming along nicely. It really feels like our home now. The kids just love their own space down in the basement. I think its good for them to have their own little place to go and do their own thing. It gives them a little independence. They just love the backyard too. We dabbled a little bit last weekend in the garden....cleaning out the leaves and loosening the soil. It was a lot of fun. The kids really like to help in the garden too. Theres already things starting to blossom so I cant wait to see how it looks when everything is fully grown. Everything is as it should be. We are exhausted but happy to say the least.

Our new home.

Another exciting developement happened last night. The girls had parent teacher conferences and low and behold Marie gets a perfect attendance award and a Honor Roll award. Im so stinking proud of her. It literally brings a tear to my eye thinking about what a lovely little person she has become. She was so proud of herself. She called all her grandparents last night and bragged about it. Little Melodys teacher spoke so highly of her also. Her teacher said how wonderful her manners are and how well she listens and works in class. She says her improvemnet from the first of the year to now is huge. So I am just so proud of both of them.
