We're all settled in to our new house! A lot has happened in the last month! Ashley started first grade here, has a great, young teacher and tells me everyday that she loves school. We're happy with the decision to enroll her! Paige started her 3 day a week preschool and has made fast friends with two of the little girls in her class. According to the preschool teachers, they like to talk about fashion and color together. Michael is doing great and would like it if it would warm up at least enough to melt the snow in the backyard so we might be able to play outside a little.
Here are the kids on the first day at their new schools. Everone picked out their own outfit, even Michael, who now has an opinion on what he wears everyday. 
Ashley was so excited! This week, I started dropping her off at the curb instead of walking her to the door, and she has skipped in, happy as can be, every day!
Paige was excited, too, but was kind of tired and didn't really know if she was going to kindergarten (next year, honey...) or preschool or what. I didn't communicate very well, I guess.
There have been a lot of changes, but some things never change. I bought the kids new 3-piece pj sets today and they thought it was hilarious to put on all three (pants, shorts, and shirt) at the same time. Of course, that led to a dance party and lots of posing...
The railing is supposed to be a bamboo shoot for the panda bear...
