The Jordans- Cherish, Sean, Autumn and Emelia

I'm having such a hard time keeping up with my blog. We are always on the move and there is always something to say about something when you are a Cherish Hope. I'm just going to do my best to plug ahead. I wanted a picture of the name of the hotel we stayed at in Gatlinburg (technically Seiverville), but the girls were not interested in letting me get a photo without them in it!!! If/when we go back, we will stay at this hotel again (Clarion Inn Willow River). We loved it. Our first stop this morning was: The Apple Barn. We were after breakfast and apples. Ridiculous faces. Take a picture of my rain coat. OK mom. Enough of the pictures. The Christmas shop. Oh Millie! Ballerina!! Sweet Autumn. Sweet Millie. Again, with that face Millie!! Beautiful red!!!!!!!! Doesn't everyone pick apples this way?? HA HA HA It wasn't what I had in mind when I decided we should do some apple picking, but hey, it was right here, availabl...

We planned a trip to Tennessee a few months ago. Thankfully, my mom was able to get us a discounted room (Friend and family rate) and I checked/booked the hotel 2 months out. Friday morning, I dropped Autumn off to school and Millie and I went for a bike ride. Sweet girl! Millie kept looking at her feet. I must have fussed at her a thousand times to look up. Pay attention to where you are going. "MILLIE!!! LOOK UP!!" Right here, 2 miles in, my tired popped! Bummer. My day off from running, and I had to run my bike in 2 miles. UGH!!! Also, right here, Millie nearly ran off the side of the bridge. We get back to the Jeep, head home, pack up the car, pick Autumn up from school and off we go on our adventure. When we arrived at the hotel, Sean and I were pleasantly surprised. This hotel was so nice!!! It was the Clarion Inn Willow River. When I checked in, the frond desk lady told me how lucky I was to get the $49 friend and family rate because the hotel...

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. Millie doesn't even need ropes. She got to the top all by herself withou...
