Life on Signal Mountain

Our lives are becoming more routine now that we have settled into our new community.  The girls are very much enjoying their new school, Pam is getting to know other Moms in the neighborhood and networking with the non-profit community, and John is adjusting to working from home again after 10 years in an office setting.  Misha was a bit nervous for the first few weeks, not quite understanding that this was now her new home.  But she is much more relaxed now and especially likes sleeping next to John's desk each day as he works.  And she loves getting many more walks now that we are in a much less rainy place!

Anna turned 7 recently and was excited that Nana Barbara spent the weekend here for her birthday.  We celebrated her birthday by visiting the Tennessee Aquarium and taking a boat ride down the Tennessee River to see the beautiful fall leaves.

Halloween was a fun time as the girls dressed up in very cute dresses and joined their friends trick or treating in their new neighborhood.  At their school's Halloween Family Party, Anna was awarded the best costume.

We've started spending time each weekend getting to know and see our new home.  In addition to the Aquarium, we've spent time taking long drives and visiting places including the Children's Museum, the downtown riverfront (including the world's longest pedestrian bridge), Lookout Mountain, and, of course, the famous Rock City.
