Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2013_08_16 Friday

Oh what fun we've had: we loved having Uncle Kevin here for the past three days!! He came over after his training sessions and had dinner here. And, he took us swimming at his hotel pool yesterday. Of course, it was by far the coldest day we've had here yet, but the kids jumped in and stayed in for about 20 mins. They really had a blast with him, and he's a terrific uncle.

Jonathan got a new bus driver yesterday afternoon, so we're working out lots of kinks -- arrival times mostly -- with her. Today, she was 6 minutes late, which is better than being 10 mins early yesterday, but it was raining.

Elise's teacher's note:
Our second week of school has come to an end. During art, we designed our own playground which helps us to make decisions. Elise enjoyed art and didn't need any help gluing on her playground equipment.  X carefully thought about where she wanted to place her pieces and sat until she was finished. X loves to dance and during music, he showed what a good dancer he is. X enjoyed beating the drums to tick tock goes our little clock. Today we learned about computers and X helped us to identify the monitor and the keyboard.  We also watched a reading of Llama llama Red Pajama and X proudly exclaimed that she had that book at home. During kinesthetics, we "climbed a ladder" and X showed us how fast he could climb a ladder. X won our game of red light green light by being the fastest one in the class.

I had a lovely, relaxed civilized ladies' lunch today with our realtors at a restaurant down the street. Oh, to do that more often!
