GGG
A quote from Mat...
Early Sunday morning my Grandma Gilda died comfortably in her sleep. She was the strong matriarch of our family and taught us what it means to be a family. Visiting with her last month (where we took these pictures) made Millie, Milo, her and me so happy. We are traveling to NJ for the funeral on Wednesday. Please no flowers, if you feel you want to do something, donate to your favorite charity, call your grandmother, your mom or family and tell them you love them, or just think happy thoughts.

Bike Ride
Love that we live so close to the Zoo. And went you need a quick potty break during a bike ride, we have a place to go!

The Open
From the CF website since they explain it much better than I would...
The CrossFit Games stand alone as the ultimate test of fitness. No test, regardless of its lofty claims, can grant legitimate title to the best without first providing access to all. 
The 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games season begins with the online Open. Anyone can sign up to compete in five workouts over five weeks and post their scores online. Last year, the Open reached more than 209,000 athletes from around the world.
You can either perform the Open workout at a participating CrossFit affiliate where you will be judged in person, or you can film your full performance and upload it to YouTube or another video-sharing site. The video will be displayed alongside your score so other CrossFit athletes can be your judge.
You are free to make as many attempts at the Open workout as you please. Your only limit is time. You have four days—96 hours—to complete the week's workout and submit your best score to the Games site. The week's workout is released each Thursday at 5 p.m. PST, and scores are due the following Monday at 5 p.m. PST.
The Open, for me, forces me to do movements that you probably wouldn't attempt normally. So far, this Open has made me attempt and conquer two moves I have never, NEVER, been able to do. Toes-to-bar and Chest-to-bar. While I didn't get any of my awesomely solid nearly 30 Toes-to-bar on video, I did get one of my Chest-to-bar's. Or course I had to make a fancy video for it!
Congrats to my buddy Mirena who was able to get one Chest-to-bar as well!

new kicks
she looked so much older to me today...
Maybe the new kicks?
She said this was how you are supposed to pose with new shoes (sorry I missed my focus!)

partner WOD
Millie and her CF buddie Arianna banging out a partner WOD today at CF along side the Mommies. These two are just one day apart! #photobomb
Book Character Parade
Each class dressed up as characters from a book they have read together and then marched through the halls and around the school so everyone can see their costumes and have some fun. Parents and guests lines the parade route which made for a very exciting afternoon.
Millie's class book was called Bony Legs
She was first in line! (#shocking #notshocking)

Cauliflower
Milo is a MUCH pickier eater than Millie. We typically allow him to pick which veggie HE wants for dinner just to make sure he has a veggie, any veggie, with dinner.
Tonight, we were having Cauliflower. We thought he should at least try it. Being only one still remaining at the table brings back a ton of memories (Mom/Dad?!).

Catching up
Beautiful day in Atlanta 
Milo and his best buds on crazy mix match day at school today in honor of Dr. Seuss.
Millie's first "Oreo" persuasive argument. She might have missed the point just a tad...but we will discuss.
