Well, we've been here a couple of months, spent two holidays here (Easter and Echo's birthday) and have almost completely unpacked. I wonder if I will ever get around to unpacking my scrapbook stuff before we have to move again. A lot has happened in the short time we've been here. Blaze learned to ride her bike, Shade made a new best friend (Echo), Echo turned four, and Lock was attacked by red ants! (which apparently are black?), we have found a church, I have found a soul sister, I have started my own private Zumba classes (successfully!), John has been kicking booty at work, we have made nice w/ the neighbors, spent quality time w/ my mom and Cedric
, discovered the most wonderful Farmer's Market in the world, and have just been on the receiving end of good ol' Southern hospitality!! This place is like a cold glass of water when your thirsty. This place feels comfortable. This place brings a sense of contentment. This place is becoming home.

Welcome to Atlanta! (Personally, I'd rather live in Arizona.) A few thoughts:
ReplyDeleteYou win the award for "Flat-Out Coolest Names For Your Kids".
Tell your son to take off his lipstick before kissing the carpet.
We have the same problem with nail-polish stains, which is why I no longer let my three homeschooled daughters give manicures to the dog.
Let me know if you find a good remedy for removing iguana poop from the sofa. (However, it's a trade off: we've found that a five-foot roaming iguana is an excellent way for quickly removing a mother-in-law from the premises.)
I'm not only a homeschool mom, but a veteran certified teacher and the academic director for Sylvan Learning Center's Homeschool Program in the metro-Atlanta area. We'll be offering a whole slew of classes, testing services, etc. beginning in June. (You can go to www.sylvanhomeschooling.com if you're curious).
Part of my reasoning for petitioning Sylvan to offer homeschool classes: I get my kids out of the house for a few hours a week.
Love the blog. If you guys ultimately decide to make Atlanta permanent: we're glad you're here! (If you decide to move somewhere out West: take me with you.)
I love how you see everyday with soft sentiments Chaundra balanced with such sweet humor... sheesh, makes me miss you much.
