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_11_08 Friday


From Elise's school:
We had a great day today! In Art, we tried to draw our favorite superhero. We also were given time to draw whatever we wanted to.  X drew a robot superman and X drew a pink superman.  We also practiced our J's today.  X practiced tracing his J's and even drew a few of his own!  Elise said that jungle johnny likes to juggle jelly.  During music, X had fun dancing along with the music.  During kinesthetics, we played with the parachute. X and X had a lot of fun playing with it. They helped us to keep Clifford, Cleo and T-Bone in the parachute and we tried to kick the ghost out of the parachute!

Elise has taken it pretty easy today. She actually napped, which was the first time in forever. She's been sipping on OJ for the afternoon and lounging on the sofa. She's still got a runny nose, but she doesn't feel quite as hot as the past two days.

On a very different note, I just have to reflect on how cool the Internet is in helping people stay connected. I've been able to have an email conversation today with two friends (a German and J2's K-G teacher) that drove home that distance is totally irrelevant these days. warm fuzzies.

Jonathan had a playdate here with a neighbor friend right after school. It's also neat that the boys are old enough that they don't need constant monitoring...although an occasional eyeball does help keep a room from becoming a disaster zone.

Oh, and I'm going to teach on Monday -- St Martin's Tag -- at J's school. We are going to learn about St Martin, make small Laterne, have a class-wide parade, and then share a pretzel. How cool!?! And, I've already dropped hints about St Nicholas as well.
