Getin' Back to Bloggin'

As write this blog I have to relize how spoiled I am. After our move to LA I have been trying to get my computer on-line so I could finally blog. I have missed blogging so much. I have now rented a desk at the Wolf Cave and now I am connected with my computer to the internet. AHhh, it feels nice. My Uncle has offered to install a wireless connection so hopefully I will not have to use their connection for long. I really appreciate that not only have they let me connect my computer but also rented me a fancy desk. My very own.
We went to mirror lake yesterday and had a blast! The Woodpecker Clan served up some really good food and we had a lot of fun playing in the water.
I will try to get some pictures on as soon as possible.
We also caught lots of rainbows. You could not keep these guys of a dry fly. It was the perfect time at night when ll the bugs drop low to the surface and the fish are rising to eat them. Ah, nothing better. Hey we even caught some that were 3-4 inches, feisty little guys.

Blah Monday

Butch and Sissy are off to school. Butch got to make gingerbread men first thing this morning. Wow, I would love that. Smart teacher though. Anyways we are still waiting for them to get home so we can hear how their day went. It makes me wonder what Butch thinks of school. We were wondering if the Grand Poopa could bring the Brown dog and my pay check up with you when you come up for Sissy's B-day. It would really save us the drive for now.

Anyways, if the kids come home with something exciting to say, we will try and write later! We are going job hunting!

First day of School

Well Sissy has gone to her first day of school and Butch had his interview with his teacher. I can say I am completely satisfied with the school and the kid's teachers, what a big relief. Butch passed his interview with flying colors and the teacher seemed really pleased with his vocabulary and communication skills. Sissy, with some help form her auntie wolf and little cousins, was happily reading when I went and checked on her. She seemed like she was fitting in, but she still had this look like she was worried. I really hopes she blooms in this school and doesn't step back into the shadows like she did at Paul banks.
Here's a funny little side note. When Sissy was first starting school there was a devastating accident that befell a tiny kitten. I remember how I was trying to come up with excuses as my daughter retold the story of how the kitty was squished to her teacher. Today as Butch's teacher was askinghim some questions he suddenly asks her if she had watched jaws. She told him that no, she had not watched jaws because it was to scary. SO of course Butch has to go into this gruesome detail of a dead body they find in the movie. My sister, my husband and I all had to muffle our laughs as did the teacher. I did not find myself making excuses but instead found comfort in the belief that she had heard similar things probably that same day from some other overactive imagination. Few. I used to stress so much about what Sissy said. I guess I am getting Calloused!

I have snuck this moment to write a quick note in my blog. I really have missed writtting and it makes me think of how at first I thought blogging was silly. I find myself rating things that happen to me every day or wierd things I see. Is that blog worthy and if so how blog worthy was it?
Anyways we have made our big move. I think I have hear it referred as LA? Anyways we are staying in our friends mobile home or if we must speak truthfully, really long trailor. I guess it is ok for now . I t is clean and fully furnished and the neghbors aren't that bad. We just have to really watch the kids and the dogs because the nieghbor has three or four pitbulls. They seem to be nice and get along with our dogs, who are behind a fence. So the kids are not allowed to leave the fence without mom or dad and we stand outside if the pitbulls are out. Other than that I am still getting used to the traffic and airplanes.
The upside? I went down and registered the kids at the same school that the little wolfies go to. Sissy will hopfully start tomorrow with only missing two days, Butch will have an interview and starts Monday. Sigh. I think that the size of the school is nice and not to much more than the kids are used to, plus Sissy is excited about walking with the Wolfies.
Papa moose has been looking for work. We thought looking for a job would be easy considering the amount of work but it is almost overwhelming that amount of jobs. He has applied for three jobs and will go meet in person tomarrow. Double Sigh.
Well better go for now ...will write again soon...
