Life in Atlanta

Elliot turned 9 years old on July 5th! And he celebrated his first birthday in his new home... Aunt Caryn outdid herself on the cake - as usual.

Those trips back and forth from Asheville to Chapel Hill were a bit too much... So, after months of planning, the Adlers have moved to Atlanta, GA! Not only does Elliot like the new doctors at Emory, we can get there in 10 minutes from our new home. Last week we just 'popped over' to the prosthetic department to get his new braces adjusted - total drive time and appointment time was less than one hour! "Sweet!" as Elliot would say. To tell you the truth, Elliot's a little disappointed that the long trips to UNC Chapel Hill have come to an end. They provided him with a great opportunity to get out of school for an entire day!

Atlanta has been great. Elliot and Rachel comment often as to how friendly everyone has been - which is quite a statement for such a large city. The only drawback we've noted is the heat. The mountains of North Carolina provided us with a more comfortable climate... Instead of another condo, we're in a house this time. Elliot is loving the big (private) yard and the treehouse/fort inthe backyard.
