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.

From Elise's school:

We added to our list of good friend traits today.  X is a good friend to his brother by giving him great ideas.  Elise added that it's kinda hard to be a good friend to your brother.  She said, "Sometimes I be mean to my brother.  I can be a good friend to him when he stops being bossy." We worked a lot on "X", "Y" and "W" again.  There are so many ways to make these letters - they're a big hit.  X made a cool "X" with blue tape.  X made a "Y" and an "X" with the sticky sticks.  In centers, X got way creative with the big magnets and made a movie camera.  In music, X helped everyone remember all the animals in our "Bought Me a Cat" song, AND she put them in order.  X brought some mint that he grew and let everyone smell and taste it.  X said, "It's really yummy.  It almost tastes like a leaf."  X had some great ideas for his Mother's Day card - but that's a secret!

And, I won a seat at Jonathan's PTO! I fear it will be more work than I expect, but I'm really excited to get to know more people in ATL and understand the school system better. I'll adjust my (paid) work load so I can balance it all.
