The Tuckers have landed safely in Tucson. We love our new house, even though it is overflowing with boxes. Since I am technically still working for ... that company... I work an hour, unpack a box, work an hour, unpack a box, and so on. It seems to be working thus far. The bedrooms and kitchen are mostly unloaded. We are still finding misc. things here and there. I just found Michael's bedding today! My cousin Janet is coming down from Phoenix to help us on Friday. It will be nice to have family semi-close.
The dogs love it, I am assuming that since they sleep on the couch, then move outside and sleep on the grass, then when they want to get really hot, they sleep on the patio. It's all pretty basic stuff.
Megan and Michael started school on Monday. Then Megan had half days Tues & Weds. Everyone is out for "Rodeo Break" Thurs & Fri. Not an ideal week to start school, but it does help them to start out slow I guess.
Mike is doing fine. He technically won first chair in Jazz band, but the girl who was first got so mad she wouldn't play, so he told the teacher, he should be second chair since he didn't know the music that well. The teacher winked at him and called him a "good man." He has made a couple of friends on our street, and seems to have some friends at school as well.
Megan is missing her friends, her activities, etc. She has made a couple of friends. One guy she met at church on Sunday tracked her down at lunch on Monday so she wouldn't have to sit alone. He has been very nice. Are his motive pure? I'm not going to speculate. He's a cute kid, and he's being nice to her, that's all I need to know. She isn't enjoying the drama yet, but I have convinced her to give it some time.
Ken loves his new job and is spending a lot of time meeting people. Hopefully once the house is together, we can meet people together. I'm about the only one in the family who hasn't met at least one "friend."
Well, I'd better check my work e-mails and get back to unpacking. Keep in touch. I need e-mails to remind me we're still connected. Tuckermom1@comcast.net.

Glad that you are back to your blog. How far is Phoenix from you? It is nice to be around family. What is a Rodeo Break? Is there a Rodeo in town because that means cowboys and tight jeans with big belt buckles. I just might have to visit now.
That was a really nice thing for Mike to do. You have some really great kids.
Talk to you soon my friend
