Update from Nicolle

So much has happened since my last post in April 2006! I only worked for the University of Utah for a few months and then decided that I really should follow my dream and go to cooking school. So, within two weeks I found a family to nanny for in Atlanta GA. I chose this family because they lived near two of the schools that I wanted to attend. Financial Aid ended up not working out for the school of my choice, Le Cordon Bleu, and the schedule didn't really work out for the family, so I didn't attend any classes while I was there. And at the beginning of Nov. the family decided that they really needed to get a French speaking nanny since the girls wouldn't speak in French, not even to grandparents, who only speak French. And right around that same time, I decided that I really missed my life back in Utah, so I really wanted to go back.

Here are some of the pictures of my adventures while in GA. In my free time I tried to get in as many of the sites as possible. And thankfully my old roommate from UT was also a nanny in the area so we did everything together. Our first outing was Six Flags Over GA on Labor Day, but we also went to the World of Coke, CNN Atlanta, a Thrashers Hockey game, and a Falcons vs. NY Giants football game. Richard also came down from Charlotte, NC to visit for a weekend and we went to the GA Aquarium, the largest indoor aquarium in the world! It was fantastic. I think I must have taken over a thousand pictures in my 7 months in GA. I won't bore you with all of them, so here are just a few.

Here was my family in GA, minus the baby Sophie (I'll add an entire section just for her). Thierry (dad from Corsica France), Shannon (mom) and Olivia and Lily Marie.

These pictures where taken in October when Richard came to visit. The baby on my lap is Sophie.
Here I am trying to get Olivia to stay still long enough for us to get a nice picture. She has more energy then most of the boys I know.
This is my old roommate Joey and I at Six Flags over GA on Labor day. It was great there were no lines!
Here we are visiting the World of Coke
This is the largest glass of Coke I have ever seen.

And both of these pictures were taken at CNN Atlanta.

I'll have to add some of the other pics later.
