Miah's first day of kindergarten

Miah's first day of Kindergarten

1st Day of kindergarten

Isaac on Miah's first day. I had to pick him up to get him to leave. He started kicking and Screaming "Miah, My Miah". He cried until I started him a movie, then he was fine.

Test Day

Today was Miah's kindergarten test assessment. She did very well. The teacher was impressed. She only forgot two letters, j and y, which she knows both! I think it was just nerves. She did great with all her other things. We also turned in our first book order. I love book orders! It will be fun to share this with Miah. She luckily has inherited mine and JD's love of books. You can never have too many books!

We also had the car tested today for emmisions and inspection. It is always such a relief when it passes. We did have to get a new windshield, but we have really needed one for over a year now.

I'm going to go down to WJ tomorrow and spend the night at my parents. My MIL is taking me to dinner and a show for my birthday. Then my parents are making me dinner on my birthday. It will be nice to be around family for my birthday for the first time in 4 years. I just wish JD was here to celebrate too! I can't believe i'm in my 30's now. That sounded so old not to long ago.

Kindergarten Orientation

We went to the mall today to spend some time together before JD left to go back to NY.

Today was Miah's kindergarten orientation. It went well and her teacher seems nice. She will have an assessment test on Friday and starts regular kindergarten on the 31st.

Miah also had her first dentist appointment for her cavities to be fixed. She did very well, we were proud of her. The dentist told her that she did great and could come back anytime. Good thing since we will be back next Monday to do the other side of her mouth.

We just dropped JD off at the airport. Miah and I cried most of the way back. This is really hard. Hopefully something will work out soon and he can move to be with us all the time! We miss him!

Sorry that I have not been updating as much as I usually do. Things are BUSY! The kids and I have been busy working, trying to organize and unpack at our apartment, and fit in a little play time.

We did go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with our friends. The kids enjoyed it. Here are a few pictures. I did not get one of the two of them because Miah loved following Jeff around as he would tell her and Nathan all about the dinosaurs.

We have a busy week and are looking forward to a visit from JD on Thursday. He will be flying out that night. The owner of the apartment complex will be here on Friday, so this week is going to be so busy getting ready for that. Then on Saturday I'm throwing a bbq for all the residents. Monday is Miah's dental appointment to get her cavities fixed in half her mouth. It will also be orientation for Kindergarten. JD will leave us on Monday night, unfortunately. Hopefully with all that going on he will have a little time to look for a job in person and spend lots of time with us. We have really missed him and hope that soon he can move home with us!

At last . . . I'm connected

I FINALLY GOT THE INTERNET TODAY! Yeah!

On Saturday we moved into the new apartment in Clearfield. Thanks Dad and Travis for your help! We spent our first night there. It was great to have a place of our own, with one exception and that is that JD is still not with us. We miss him. It feels weird to have a place for us when he is not here. I realize how much I rely on him for many things, even putting a stupid fan together!

We spent the next several days trying to move more things up here.

Wednesday I got Miah registered for school. She will have afternoon kindergarten, which I was really hoping to get her in morning kindergarten so it would make things easier to get to SL for work. Oh well. Maybe they can change it if someone moves or something. Miah is very excited and asks everyday how many more days until school. The first day is the 24th and it will be just a 1 hour orientation to meet the teacher and sign up a time for her assessment tests. The first regular day of school for her will be August 31st. I still can't believe she will be in school.

Yesterday, I had a root canal. Unfortunately I still have one to go. We also have some dental appointments for Miah to get her cavities filled. Yikes she doesn't seem to have great teeth, but at least she was good at the dentist.

Also, yesterday Tiscia and her kids came up and stayed the night. It was nice to have some company! Thanks for your help Tiscia!

So now, I'm still working on getting everything put away, getting a hang of being the apartment manager, trying to get in some hours with my sisters work and trying to stay sane through all there transitions. Now that I have the internet again I will be able to look even harder for a job for JD. I hope something works out soon!
