Moving Day #2

Looks like tomorrow's the day for the girls and I to make the transition to Sherwood. The girls are excited to go live at their "new house with stairs" and I'll be happy to finally have us all back together again. We've spent too much of 2006 living apart! Jeremy is working out of town, and he'll be excited to be able to come home to a family instead of an empty apartment.

Jeremy's apartment has a junior olympic sized pool, and the girls will LOVE that we have access to it. Maddie got to swim with Daddy once, but Riley slept right through it.


I thought I'd share this book that the girls have grown to love to hear. My mom's friend, Mary Lou, told Mom about this book that her daughter loved. Mom says Mary Lou could recite the lines from memory. It's a really cute story about Miss Twiggley, who lives in a tree and sleeps in a hat. All the townspeople think she's an odd bird, so her friends consist of a dog named Puss, bears, and who knows what else!

There came a flood in Miss Twiggley's town, and the people who had disliked her so much were forced up into her tree to get away from the water. Miss Twiggley took them in, kept them dry and showed them how to be kind to people even when they've been less than kind to you. This book was first published in 1966!



I don't know how long it'll be before I'll update my blog again. For some reason, my home computer and blogger don't like each other :-( I'll try from Jeremy's laptop, but if that doesn't work, I might think about switching over to typepad....we'll just see!
