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_04_14 Monday

From Elise's school:
I got great reports all around from spring break.  X loved Thunder Mountain!  X went all the way into a rock and saw a waterfall coming from the earth.  We discussed, created and even acted like snakes today.  X made "the biggest snake in the history of fire" with sticky sticks.  Elise led us in moving around in a "wiggle waggle" way, and X had a fierce "S" sound.  X chose a funny tongue and sparkly pink eyes for her snake puppet.  X chose purple eyes for her snake because they "make him look interesting".  X and X used great cooperation and teamwork on an animal puzzle.

My notes from Milan, Italy:
Just had a chianti and pizza with proscuitto, which is actually thick ham slices, and fungi that cost me $30, but I was sitting right next to the Duomo and I took my sweet time and there's no tip and I was serenaded by a sax player somewhere off in the distance. I love how open air in is here, but I don't love how many people still smoke. P.U. So many people are on bikes too even on cobblestones. There are so many different people, but I sure do hear a lot of English. I've been Italish-ing iwth things like: "un pizza with fun-guy. grazie!' and of course, they answer in so-unimpressed English. at least I'm trying. Off to bed soon. Going to try the metro tomorrow since I won't have my suitcase.
