I think Phelix looks like he’s trying to escape this embrace …

Phelix just LOVES to roll around in the grass and get dirty all over…
Phelix Files : Week 3
For the past week, Phelix has been either “walking” on his leash, playing in the dog park, sleeping in his crate, struggling in our arms or hanging out in his “pen”. THankfully, I am no longer feeling like I’m about to have a nervous breakdown. The pen truly has saved my sanity. And perhaps Phelix’s

Phelix, the girls and I went out shopping on the square today. Phelix found himself a very nice stick to carry around.
Hometown Saturday: Square Shopping
Welcome to Hometown Saturday! Each week, share your photos of your favorite hometown, whether it be a town where you used to live, you live now or you just dream about living in one day …. This week, my photo is from our current hometown, Decatur, GA. The girls and I took our new puppy
instagram: kisses
Tonight we had a “game night” at our condo. Phelix was quite annoyed about being stuck in his pen while we had a houseful of people having fun … We had to HOLD him for much of the night, just like a baby. And he gave us lots and lots of kisses..
photo friday: cherokee, nc
While up at the cabin for Thanksgiving, I had hoped to visit a number of historical sites. In the end, we only visited a few, but we did make it back to Cherokee, NC to visit the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. While Camille greatly enjoyed the exhibits, Chloe was only happy once we hit

I had no desire to take the time to head to Chloe’s school. But she, apologetically, asked if I could make it. So, I “put on my big girl pants” and headed down to her school. The kids in her class did some lovely presentations about the things they’ve been studying. In the end, I’m
christmas shopping FAIL
Year after year. I dread Christmas. I am the world’s WORST gift giver. This inadequacy of mine stresses me to the point where I want to curl up in a ball and not come out until next year. Today I realized that this really, really should not surprise me. I hate shopping of any kind

Chloe sat down on the bench out front to wait for her friend to come. Guess who had to sit right next to her on the bench??
city living ups and downs
Yesterday, Phelix and I drove Camille down to the Boys and Girls Club for her homeschool class. While the club is about two miles away and easy walking distance, I generally end up giving her a ride one way or the other. It is close enough that it only takes me about twenty minutes round-trip,

This planter on the square was staring right at me!
snow at the Fox
As with last winter here in Atlanta, I fear the only snow that we are going to see this year is the fake kind. Maybe the weather will actually turn chillier at some point, but for now the girls and I have to accept this weird fake stuff. (Though Chloe, heading to Massachusetts for a
instagram: sunset
Tonight’s sunset was pretty amazing — I wish we hadn’t been on the train and could have stood still to appreciate it better!
furniture rearranging continued
Back in October, tired of staring at the parking deck while I worked, I rearranged the layout of our dining room. And I’ve modified that arrangement again already. I’m very happy with the new layout! We are much more likely to eat our meals at the table these days too! And now we’ve rearranged the
instagram: debunking
This weekend we took down Chloe’s bunk. It is a bit of a challenge to fit everything in the girls’ room, but we somehow managed.
penned in
On Friday after I walked Phelix at 5:45am, we came in the condo to get Chloe ready for school. In the next twenty minutes, he stole Chloe’s shoe, chewed on clothes, peed on the floor, pooped on the floor, kept trying to climb Chloe to get her breakfast, insisted on nipping at us, etc. I
instagram: tired puppy
Phelix came with us tonight to a Christmas party in Pine Lake. I knew from years past that the kids tended to gather in the front yard to run around, so he’d have fun watching the kids play. While we kept him on the leash the whole time, he LOVED chasing after and attacking a
bonfire patrol
Last week, I stopped by the police station after our high school tour, and I was presented with a new raincoat, jacket, hat, vest, and badge. Now that I graduated from the ‘citizens’ police academy”“, I can start to volunteer at many of Decatur’s events. I haven’t had radio or traffic direction training yet, but

Phelix and Camille have taken a real liking to each other. Camille enjoys walking him and he likes to be with her. That was a surprise!
