live in concert – justin roberts
a week ago, the girls and I were on our way home from Chicago. Earlier in the month, I had begun to work earnestly on a calendar of “kindie events” and was thrilled to see that Justin Roberts would be performing in Champaign, IL, right as we were heading home. We arrived in Champaign-Urbana (everyone
Dragon*Con – 3 sep 2011
Rob and the girls at Dragon*Con today. Rob actually marched in the parade. It was bizarre the number of people who asked for photos of Chloe and Rob.
TARDIS – 2 sep 2011
Whew. We did it. I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to make it work, but I think she looks pretty awesome! Don’t know what a TARDIS is? I’m sorry.
Photo Friday: Great Wolf Lodge
Almost three weeks ago (how time flies!), the girls and I headed of to Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC to start off our new year of homeschooling. We had a difficult time deciding where to go, but the in house MagiQuest sold us, and we were not disappointed! This is an entry for Delicious
new outfit – 1 sep 2011
Chloe has always admired the gymnastics outfits for sale at the gym. Back when she was at the gym one hour a week, I refused to buy her one of these expensive outfits, but told her she was free to spend her own money on one. But now that she’s on the training team and
live in concert – ralph’s world
We’ve been planning all summer to make a trip up to Chicago but have been waiting for a convenient weekend that would also include at least one or two kindie concerts. And, finally, we managed to make it up north on the last weekend of August. As we were delivering a large object, we decided
tardis and doctor who – 31 aug 2011
The girls worked more on their Dragon*Con costumes today. Chloe decided to NOT be Litte Amelia Pond, but to be the Tardis instead. Camille, of course, is the Doctor. I hope she doesn’t get to hot at the parade and convention!
Staying: Great Wolf Lodge
A little over two weeks ago we started our new homeschooling year. To get the year off to a great start, we headed out of town to stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Concord, NC. While booking, I debated whether to try out this new-to-us waterpark or return to Wilderness in the Smokies where we
gazoo – 30 aug 2011
Yup, the girl is happy to have us back home again.
all’s quiet on the blogging front
I know. You’re not supposed to write a blog post about why you haven’t been blogging. But I haven’t been blogging much, and it has been strange for me to be this quiet for this long. I suppose the three trips in fairly quick succession along with starting up homeschooling has taken its toll on

This one doesn’t fly on its own, unfortunately.

On the way home from Chicago, we made a pit stop in Champaign. And got to catch a Justin Roberts concert! All pit stops should be that much fun.

After a relaxing morning and then a stop at the Stitches marketplace, we made it to the Palatine Street Festival where Chloe went in the bounce house, we had some pizza and then Ralph put on a great concert!

After a day of working, driving, getting lost and delivering the organ, we made it to the KOA, where we set up camp and had a nice dinner — and were a nice dinner too. So many mosquitoes!
evie’s organ – 25 aug 2011
No, we didn’t decide that we needed live music in the car … After a day of work, homeschooling, gymnastics and errands, we hit the road to head to Chicago to deliver this organ to our friend Ralph.
