I love having sunflowers in the house!
kitty – 29 jul 2011
The hissing cousins are hanging out at the cabin with me, but they haven’t been much in the way of company.

I headed up to the cabin Friday afternoon for a weekend of quiet.

Since we have to stick closer to home this year so that Chloe can attend her “Training Team” gymnastic practices twice a week, I’ve decided that it might be lots of fun to play “Hometown Tourists”. There is a lot to see in Atlanta that we’ve just never made the time to see. This week,
drawing – 28 jul 2011
Camille loves to draw. She works hard at improving her skills, checking out books from the library to learn more and more about how to draw manga characters.
CNN Center – 27 jul 2011
Today, my, mom, the girls and I went on a “hometown tourist” excursion to the CNN Center, where we took the Inside CNN tour. We had enjoyed seeing some of the studios in the building and learning more about how the news is made.
origami – 26 jul 2011
Chloe loves to fold origami… she even wanted to know if there was a homeschool class being offered in origami … What a funny kid.
heirloom tomatoes – 25 jul 20011
Last week, we visited our friends on their Maryland farn, House in the Woods. And we came away with such a bounty of veggies!
gooney bird – 24 jul 2011
Gustafer isn’t sure about Gooney quite yet. Camille knit this little guy for a new segment I’m considering for our kindie radio station/blog.
the outdoors – 23 jul 2011
Yes, they are there, just outside that door.
knitter’s tools – 22 jul 2011
The essentials : yarn, needles and an iPad. Camille is working on knitting a Gooney Bird for an idea I’m working on for our kids’ music blog. I can’t wait to see it!

This past week, the girls and I made a *very* fast roadtrip up to the DC suburbs; the entire trip was under 60 hours, with at least 25 of those being spent in the car. The motivation? To attend the One Voice Rocks! concert in Gaithersburg. What made the trip even more special was that
cooling off – 21 jul 2011
Oh man, is it ever hot?? I had the doors open for about 30 minutes this morning before I gave up. We packed our bags and headed for the mountains. The temps went down twenty degrees and grandma even has a little pool set up. We are all much cooler now.
flowers – 20 jul 2011
This morning, the girls followed the boys on the farm around on their morning chores. I just took photos and ate what they gathered…. fresh eggs and veggies along with yogurt made from milk from the goat.
catching the rain – 19 jul 2011
Tuesday evening found us in Gaithersburg, MD, at the OneVoice ROCKS! concert along with a number of our kindie friends. We had a great time despite the heat. The rain shower during soundcheck did nothing to stop the show, thankfully.
work and leisure – 18 jul 2011
Up early to work. Work for 4.5 hours. Pack and then drive for 4 hours. At the hotel, sit by the pool and then in the room — work for another 4.5 hours. This is how I manage to work while taking a crazy road trip …
ice cream – 17 jul 2011
Our ice cream maker has had quite the workout this summer! The freezer is now full of ice cream, since it is more fun to make it than it is to eat it …
girls rock camp – 16 jul 2011
Tonight we rushed home from the cabin so Chloe could go to the Braves game for a birthday party and so that Camille and I could go to the Girls Rock Camp ATL showcase in midtown. Eleven bands in 3 hours has to be a record! We loved seeing the results of a one week
at the cabin – 15 jul 2011
Who knew? Chloe has spent hours and hours and hours playing with this rope hanging from the beams on the screened-in porch at the cabin. She ties knots, she swings, she climbs. My little monkey.

On Day Four of our “epic trip out west“, we drove 499 miles, but only one of them on interstate highways! Driving the smaller roads from central Texas to southwest New Mexico, we saw dirt. Lots and lots of dirt. Usually the dirt was on the ground, but quite often it would be whipped up
