pine lake egg hunt – 23 apr 2011
A chilly morning, but everyone came out in force for the Pine Lake Easter Egg Hunt! The prizes were these awesome felted eggs that Camille had helped to make…
Restless Chloe
We walked in the door from a long day of homeschool classes, lunch with friends, gymnastics class, a library run. (Thursdays are rough on me.) Chloe was “tired”. Chloe “doesn’t nap”. Chloe disappeared for five minutes, then returned claiming boredom. Outside, inside. Decided to clean up a “junkie” pile, but got bored and stopped, leaving…

Gazoo is enjoying these spring days!
Camille takes charge
A little less than a year and a half ago, Camille picked up knitting needles for the very first time. Little did I know that she would become not only the owner of an Etsy store (Camboodle) but also, from what I’ve seen, the youngest attendee at STITCHES South by at least fifteen or twenty…

on the couch – 6 apr 2011
I’m so sick of being stuck to the couch. I *am* feeling a lot better – no pain meds other than an ibuporfen today – but still far from being back to normal. I sure hope I can sit soon!!

flat tire: gymnastics team
As should be incredibly obvious, I love to travel, revisiting old favorites and discovering new spots. But what happens when a traveling parent has a kid whose desire is to stay in one place? How do we compromise? Last week, Chloe tried out for the “training team” at her gymnastics center and was “awarded” a…
doctor who – 29 mar 2011
As I was reminded on facebook today, I have no idea about these shows the kids watch. I called him dr. who instead of doctor who. oops.
