Cleaning up in GA

Well after a month of settling in, the Armstrong family has finally been able to take a quick breather just long enough to give a quick update. Currently the temp is 65 degrees and we are loving every minute...Sorry AZ people!

Chase has started preschool twice a week and loves going to Miss Mary-Kate's house (his teacher) Although Hank was a little concerned after the 3 weeks straight of asking what Chase learned about in school, and his response was "The letter F!" Hank always thought maybe when the kids were young to focus on the letter "A" to set the expectation high. At least we're only dealing with the letter F and not the F word...

Nolan has started coming out of his shell more and loves being outside. He will for sure be the kid bringing in pet snakes, lizards, bugs, and anything else he can find. He loves the backyard and cries if he isn't able to go out when he wants. The other day it was pouring rain and he stood sobbing at the backyard because Jess wouldn't let him out in fear that mud might be tracked back through the home. Nolan has also started whistling since being in Georgia. It's not a traditional whistle, but more of a scream mixed with a stutter. The best part about it is how he puts his hands over his mouth to enhance the pitch and range of the whistle.

Jessica is starting to adjust and has been thrown into the fast lane of Georgia activities around town. In between running, the gym, and cleaning (in that order) she manages to keep the boys on track, juggle 2 different play groups, a monthly dinner group, nightly dinner for the family, all the accounting for the business and a host of miscellaneous other chores and duties. She truly deserves the mother/wife of the year award.

Hank has been working steady 12 hour days for the last month trying to complete the first house. As of today, the only things left are a few miscellaneous light fixtures, door fixtures, closet shelves and cleaning. We are hoping to have the official open house next Tuesday. We will keep you posted and send a link with pictures.
