Around Atlanta: Arabia Mountain
As I walked out the door to head down to the lake to welcome the sun back from the longest night, I immediately had to strip off some layers. For pre-dawn on December 22nd, it sure was hot and humid!! I had planned on taking the girls to the High Museum that morning, but after
Turkey Trot, er, Walk
On a whim last week, I suggest that we participate in the 2010 Blue Ridge Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Despite no training or even no desire on my part to actually run, I thought it could be a fun way to kick off Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving morning, we headed to town earlier than the girls
Christmas Tree
Despite my constant mantra that we will not prepare for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, Christmas came early for Chloe yesterday. Rob, unable to wait, presented her with her very own harness, and Chloe was so excited she headed up the tree using her pre-Thanksgiving Christmas gift.
Up in the Trees, Again

Chloe’s week at Circus Camp involved lots of tightrope walking, literally and figuratively (see Circus, or is that Drama, Camp). Despite the drama, Chloe did have a great time and looks forward to going again next year and maybe even taking aerial lessons as she gets older and stronger.

Baseball Season
Well honestly, I wouldn’t know except that Robbie Schaefer (XMKids) just announced all the games that XM is covering tonight (all of them I guess). Between our new favorite CD Pop Fly and today’s rainy morning of Wii Sports, Chloe decided that she really wanted “baseball lessons”. I gave her the next best thing; we

you’d have no idea what his hobby is, right?
Creak, Creak
What’s that noise? The house settling due to the cold weather that rushed in today? An animal in the attic? No i’s a kid swinging from the trapeze in the basement. What, you don’t have one yet? I was opposed to it — still am every time I bump my head on it while picking
