Flat Rock Climbing

Image
At least one enjoyable part of Georgia life is Flat Rock park. I often run near it, sometimes through it, most of the time around it! I enjoy going to this park when Sean is around. You do have to be mindful of the homeless people although I have mostly found them to be harmless. Parts of the park are run down. I don't believe there are very many operating restrooms in there (they keep shutting them down because the vagrants try to live in them). Anyway, under the right conditions, it is a great park. We decided we had to take the girls rock climbing since Millie was so determined to do it. NH1 is up first. Just kidding! This isn't the rock climbing. We're just posing!! We like to have a picture taken.... Can you tell?? Sean getting the gear ready. People probably think I help in these endeavors, but I'm simply a bystander that does as she is told. Testing it out.

I do not want to take credit for drawing that moose. I did ask Sean to do it!! Millie writing her name. I loved how literal she was. "I live in a HOUSE." HA HA HA When I picked Millie up from s

The first day of First Grade.

Autumn's meet and greet with her first grade teacher happened on Tuesday of this week. Her teacher's name is Ms Vaughn. There is also a student teacher, Miss Dishman and the parapro is Mrs Ray. My first impression of Ms Vaughn was that she was quite organized. She seemed very nice, but also like she wasn't going to take any guff from anyone. I think that is exactly the sort of teacher that Autumn excels with. Autumn really needs an orderly classroom environment and I believe Ms Vaughn will provide that. Autumn's comments about Ms Vaughn: "She has a very nice voice." HA HA!!! This morning went very much how I expected it other than Millie woke up first. The last few days when Millie wakes, she says, "Mom? Was I the first one up today?" Yes you are Millie. She then says, "Yay!" I guess it is sort of a competition. I don't really mind this little change in events because usually Millie is the last to wake up and she is
