Miscellaneous March

It was Move conference week at Johnson Ferry the last several days of February and first few days of March.  We always love these few days as the church focuses on mission work around the world, and we can hear firsthand from many who serve overseas of the things God is doing in their area.  It's such an encouraging time to hear these stories, and it's challenging in reminding us that the work is not done.  We were excited to host two of our friends who have been serving in East Asia.  We loved catching up with them and hearing from them what's been going on since we were there a couple years ago.  Security has tightened a lot around them, so per their request, I will not mention their names or specific location.  There's a lot going on around the church during conference week, but most of Saturday is a free day.  Our family took the two of them to Suntrust Park for a behind-the-scenes tour since they (especially the husband) are baseball fans.  We have done this before, and loved it, so we were excited to go again and hear new things and see what's been updated.  It was a beautiful day and a great way to enjoy our great city.  Lunch at Antico was the perfect way to top it off.

 I always love the bat memorial to Hank Aaron.

 There were a few pieces of art that were made by a local artist, and they are filled with spots.  You can see the picture when you are simply looking at it, but when you put it through a camera lens, it comes together even better.  Hard to describe, but so cool to see!

 Giant bobbleheads are always fun!

 Lily's class surprised their math teacher with a half-birthday celebration.  Mr. Rickman was quite surprised and appreciative!

 This just made me laugh.

 Every year the school has a gala fundraiser, and part of the auction items are doing something special with a teacher.  This year, we won Lily going to see the new Fantastic Beasts movie with Mrs. Jackson, and time for Mia to go fencing with Mrs. St. Hill.  Mia's friend, Charlee, won time at the Botanical Gardens with Ms. Keesee (their 4th grade teacher).  While that's awesome in itself, they went during the school day which is even better!  Ms. Keesee let Charlee bring two friends with her, and she picked Mia and Layne.  These girls had a great time exploring the gardens with Ms. Keesee, having lunch together at Chick-fil-a, and then playing for a bit at Tumlin Park.  What a fun Thursday!

 Friday was crazy hair and silly sock day for Mia's class a reward for raising a certain amount of money for Boosterthon.  I was happy to help Mia get lots of little ponytails going in her hair. 

Most of my time is spent at work right now, but it's fun to see life continuing too!
