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_08_04 Monday

After a summer sabbatical, we're baaaaaaaaaack!!!!!

Last night, we celebrated being as prepared as we were going to be with dinner out. The kids got their first ever Shirley Temples!!! I had been watching menus for awhile and never saw them listed, but this pizza joint had them. The kids really liked them, and we showed Elise what Shirley Temple looked like as a little girl (neat b/c she's been told MANY times that's who she looks like). I am going to try to get a photo of her posing like ST for comparison.


Today is the first day of school for Jonathan!! He's a second grader! He woke up, popped out of bed, got dressed in his handsomest outfit, and came down for breakfast and a Schuletute. We had a "Sneak Peek" on Friday night to meet his teacher and see who was in his class; Mrs B is very nice, and there are tons of kids who were in his 1st grade class too. Dave and I walked him to the bus stop. We may have been the last folks there, and it was a mad house with tons of parents and many new faces.

And, this afternoon was Elise's Meet and Greet too. She has 10 kids in her class, only two are new, so she saw lots of familiar faces. The teacher, Ms H, is very nice too. Elise is going to join her Reading Club (3 days/week) and also do Play Ball after school (1 day/week).
