moving – 12 oct 2011
I drove Chloe to school and came home to find this truck parked outside the house. The move went *fast*, but we had the movers move only the big furniture and the washer/dryer. By noon, we were moved *in*. It was a crazy, crazy day, but we’re sleeping in Decatur tonight.
FAVE – 11 oct 2011
I never said the day wouldn’t come. But I didn’t expect it to come this quickly. Last night was like Christmas Eve for Chloe. She couldn’t sleep due to the excitement and anticipation. I picke up Sally so Chloe would be arriving with a good friend. Everyone in the school appeared to be happy and
unschooler – 10 oct 2011
Today was Chloe’s last day as a homeschooler — in fact, she’s been unschooling for the past couple of weeks. She’s been reading waht she wants, playing with Legos and doing other various activities. Camille and I will miss having her around, but we hope that school proves to be a great experience for her.
camille – 9 oct 2011
Today we made our annual trip to the corn maze in North Georgia (well, actually, TN). Phil, Barbara, Rob, Camille, Chloe and I first headed to Arts in the Park in Blue Ridge, where we had delicious crepes for lunch. We then drove up along the Occoee to Benton, TN, where we went to The
school supplies – 8 oct 2011
Chloe is beyond excited about starting school. Tuesday morning just cannot come fast enough for her. I hope that she does love it, and it is a good fit for her. I’d hate to see her too disappointed by this new adventure.

Another day of moving : registered Chloe for SCHOOL!, ate lunch on the patio at Cakes&Ale, turned in a form to volunteer at the wine fest, joined the DeKalb History Center, went to Target and IKEA, assembled furniture.
furniture – 6 oct 2011
Another day of moving and assembling furniture. In addition, I went and got a new driver’s license. The girls picked up dinner from the deli across the street from the condo.
farmer’s market – 5 oct 2011
Another day of moving madness. The girls and I moved some stuff, put together some furniture and went to the farmer’s market. Rob worked on priming their new room. In the evening, Camille and I went back to Pine Lake early to pick up our CSA basket.
decatur square – 4 oct 2011
Chloe went to a picnic at the school she might be going to soon; Camille and I walked over to the square to the Walk and Roll to School event to see if we could learn about any bike safety classes on offer. We stopped at the Pita Pit to pick up some dinner.
king of pops – 3 oct 2011
Today we signed the papers and now have a Decatur Square address! The girls and I managed to sneak in a trip to IKEA in the afternoon, then take a walk around the square in the evening while Rob did some prep work on the girls’ new room. Camille had her first King of Pops
lakefest – 2 oct 2011
Lakefest this weekend! The girls had a fabulous time hanging out with our friends and neighbors. Camille sold lots of her pouches in the young artists’ booth. Chloe rode her bike up and down and pitched in to help as needed. I had a very tasty arepa from a food truck. Rob hung out with
on the porch – 1 oct 2011
I sure am going to miss sitting out here on my lovely porch on this beautiful furniture. Today lots of people came by, and we could hear the music from Lakefest drifting up.
pumpkins – 30 sep 2011
More of our fall decorations. I like this little pumpkins, but I don’t know if they’ll find a place in our new home or not. So many decorations, so little space.

fall is here – 29 sep 2011
Despite being the middle of clearing out our house for the big move, We took the time to decorate for Halloween and autumn. I love this time; three months of constantly redecorating the house (or condo)!
csa tomatoes – 28 sep 2011
Today or CSA basket was filled to the brim with greens. I better come up with a yummy green dinner for Thursday or Friday! This looks like it is probably the very last of the tomatoes, unfortunately.
magnets – 27 sep 2011
As “Mission Downsize” continues, we are going through everything in the house, figuring out what we need to get rid of and what we will keep. Though I do this year round in “Room of the Month” we are being even more crazy about getting rid of stuff. It feels great to let go of
camille’s cake – 26 sep 2011
Camille celebrated her thirteenth birthday today! Claire came to the store to help us pick out dinner and a cake — Camille decided on an oreo ice-cream cake, in the end! We had a nice evening, celebrating and watching Doctor Who…

Camille’s last day as a pre-teen. We spent time fighting hackers and organizing our piles of stuff for the garage sale.

Last week, we drove to Texas for our annual pilgrimage to the Austin City Limits Music Festival. Camille’s first request upon arriving at my parents’ house in the Austin suburbs? Going to eat at Chuy’s. If you’ve never been to Chuy’s, you must get yourself to one. They used to only be in Texas, but
