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.

2014_02_24 Monday

From Elise's school:
We had a relaxing day learning about chanting music and meditation.  X and X chose each bead carefully for their meditation bead bracelets.  They took their time and threaded even the smallest beads. Our meditation time must have calmed our brains because X focused so intently in cutting and X was prolific in the drawing center. X held her scissors properly and cut "millions" of tiny paper strips. X made many drawings inspired by the shape of his hand. X listened well and participated excitedly in Chinese - especially when they learned about chocolate. We ended our day with a story from "Frog and Toad".  Frog was not feeling well and Toad told him to go to bed because he was looking a little green.  Elise cleverly picked up that that was so silly because "frogs are always green".
