Crossfit

So I have been doing a little of this since October.
This is a link to our gym: Crossfit on the Move
Still trying to figure otu what we are doing? Check this out. Or this.






It always helps when you have a friend with you.


And now it's great to have a husband doing it too!

Park Bar

Park Bar is coming along REALLY nicely. The boys have done a really amazing job! Still set to open in just a few weeks! Here are some updated pictures.

Progress Reports

It is already progress report time. Mrs. Middleton has only had a month to evaluate Millie but I think she did a great job. To see her progress report, click here.

Kingfisher Part 2

Another letter from Mrs. Middleton to tell us what Millie has been up to. Click here to see a close up of the document.

And here is her work from the last week (or two). It is 18 pages so I am guessing it is from the last 2 weeks.
Her classroom:






Just getting up from nap time:


Her cubbie is the one with the orange coat:


So proud:


Birdfeeders:

Bacon anyone?

Yes, he is double fisting bacon. We are enjoying trying the new items on the Engine 11 menu. They are using the E11 kitchen as a tester kitchen for the bar, Park Bar which is due to open in just a few weeks!

Turning the Tables

I have talked about Jennifer Conklin of Jennifer Conklin Photography) before. My husband might actually be annoyed with how much I talk about Jen. But finally we were able to get in front of her camera, as a family. In which she did some amazing things! Jennifer is not only a good friend but kinda my "photography business partner" who I totally admire. So when she agreed to take pictures of my family, I was honored. And she did a fabulous job as I knew she would! Now...if I could just return the favor for her some day! JC: get your booty to Atlanta!



So, we did this little photo session with my family over the holiday while we were in Ohio. First time ever doing a photoshoot so that was fun. The sun was shining but it was freezing. Poor Millie in her little dress but she was a trooper despite her red face.

You will see some pictures, at the end of the album of me in a yellow sweater (Thank you Caroline!) that Jen took so I could update my website. Along with the fabulous Kerri Rodenbaugh, we had a great time taking photos of each other for our websites!

If you have some time today, check it out. Did you cry like I did? Would love for you to email me and let me know how you like them! Maybe which one or 5 is your favorite?

There is a wonderful movie at the beginning with the sweetest song. But take your time and look at all the pictures.
Hope you have a great MLK Day!

MLK Day

She was so excited to have made this peace dove. I am excited to see that she is doing such creative projects like these. She is really excelling at her school and we couldn't be happier that she is there! These doves were made in honor of MLK. They were attached to the fan in her room and they spun around when the fan was flipped on. Very cute!

Week 2: Dance (videos)

Week 2

Kingfisher Part 1

Many of you might already know but we moved Millie into a new school. So far it is really going well. Millie was acting out a little during week 2 (had an accident during nap, hit a kid in her class...on purpose) but really shaped up week 3. I am assuming she was just finding her boundaries. Millie's class is small which I really like. They go to story time at East Atlanta library cause they can. I mean, the classes are tiny. Millie loooooooooove riding that bus. I haven't met all the parents yet but I am looking forward to that. So far we are really pleased. And when I tell people that she goes there (even some random mom in the Walmart line) they all say "oh I have heard really good things about that school!). So that makes me feel good!

I ask Millie what her favorite part of the day is every night before she goes to bed...and 9 out of 10 times, it is "going to school". So that makes me feel good about our decision to move her.







We get these sheets from her teacher, Mrs. Middleton, each week. We love reading these with Millie. Waay better than Millie's one word answers about her day. This picture might be a bit small so click here to see this document closer. As always, let me know if you have any problems!

To see some of her work since she started, click here. It is 8 pages, let me know if you have any problems opening this document up (on a computer and not your mobile device please).

Week 1: Dance

A's mom contacted me when she saw a special for a ballet/tap class. We thought it might be fun to keep the girls in the same dance class so they would know someone. Well, as expected, the girls love it! It's a toss up as whether they are more excited for the dance class, or to see one another.



It takes a special woman to teach 3 year olds how to dance. Her name is Miss Lindsay. She is kind, upbeat, and so nice to the girls. You can't see the kids in these videos beacuse of the way the room is set up. But A's mom Meggan and like to spy on the kids.
