Hi Mammas~

Well, we're a family of five and headed to Midland! My husband has taken a job with an oil and gas company. We've never spent any time in Midland. I know NOTHING. If any of you have newcomer information to share concerning schools(private and public), neighborhoods, summer activities, after school activities, pediatricians, restaurants, book clubs, etc.....please pass it on. My daughter is on a swim team here and plays the violin. My son loves theatre. My littlest one just likes to play! I've been involved with Mamasource in Austin and what a fabulous way to connect. Here we come ......on to a new adventure!
Best,
R.

What can I do next?

Good luck finding a place to live! COM aquatics is the best place for swimming, they have an awsome facility. They also have a dive team as well. Trinity seems to be the best private school but very pricy Midland Christain seems to get mixed reviews. Some love it and some just think its a place to send your kids if they get kicked out of public school. I am a member of MOPS mothers of preschooler its a great way to meet other moms and get all the inside info. From what I understand, all or most of the pediatricians are full right now. Good Luck

Welcome to Midland! I have lived here since i was 10 years old and of all the beautiful places i've lived, Midland has been my favorite. Although, not very pretty, the people are great! Midland Community Theatre has great programs for kids, summer workshops and plays to attend. the COM is a great place to swim. They even have swim teams for homeschoolers if you homeschool or if the school doesn't have one. My pediatrician now is Dr Merill Horne. He's my favorite so far. He's great and doesn't just hand out antibiotics left and right. He likes the kids to build an immune system and fight off things on there own unless they really are sick and in need of medicine. He's great!! His partner in the office is Dr Boren. I like him a lot too!
Mid-Cities Community Church is a non-denominational church i've gone to since i was in jr. high. my husband has been there since birth. We LOVE it! Great place to get involved. It's growing and has lots of new great things. Check it out at midcities.org.
A wonderful private school is Midland Classical Academy. They have full time students and some younger kids only go 2 times a week. I went there for a short time and it is a GREAT school! Great teachers and great kids. I HIGHLY recommend it!
If you have any questions where anything is, or phone numbers or anything. Don't hesitate to write. I've lived here for almost 14 years and will probably be able to answer some questions that you have.
Welcome to Midland!

My family and I just moved to Midland in December. I don't have much to share, but here is what I do know. It is very dry. We actually had to put two humidifiers in our house. The best elementary is Fanin. I'm not sure of the middle school. Giggles-N-Grins daycare is EXCELLENT! Dr. Nubulsi is the highly rated pediatrician. Not sure of a family doctor, or dentist. Most neighborhoods seem nice. I'm not sure of the best ones. So far that is all I know. I myself am still trying to figure out places. Best of luck to your family!
