audubon zoo – 2 feb 2011
In the frigid freezing weather, the girls and I visited the Audubon Zoo before driving home to Pine Lake. We were practically the only ones there, and they all ask’d for you….
new orleans – 1 feb 2011
We spent our day in a small bit of New Orleans. Rob’s hotel is in the financial district — it must have been some type of bank, originally. Though why a bank needed 16 (20?) foot ceilings, I’m not sure.
streetcar – 31 jan 2011
What to do on a gorgeous Monday in New Orleans with kids? The zoo, aquarium and insectarium are all closed…. We rode the Canal Street Ferry to Gretna and back. We walked along the river down to Cafe du Monde and had beignets. We wandered through the French Market. Now what? I bought us all
camille – 30 jan 2011
Camille and Chloe enjoyed hanging out at out friends’ house in Mississippi this morning. Not only were there nice trees to climb, but there were tons of beautiful camellias!
mississippi – 29 jan 2011
The girls and I packed up and headed out mid-morning. After driving on the interstate most of the way, we got off of I-10 in Gulfport for the final twenty miles of the trip and drove along some beautiful beaches!
hearts – 28 jan 2011
Some more of the Valentine’s decorations have appeared. I’m hoping that soon the V-day dish towels will make it down out of the linens’ dresser.
Photo Friday: Sirius/XM in Washington DC
The girls and I started making trips up to XMRadio to be in the audience of live recordings back in 2006. On our first trip, we left at 1am in order to get there with plenty of time to spare. We’ve taken a large number of weekend trips to DC for concerts since then. The
wreath – 27 jan 2011
Having gotten home late on Sunday and not leaving again until Saturday morning, we’ve had time this week to get caught up with things around the house. Piles have been sorted, goodwill stuff out the door. And the Valentine’s decorations have finally gotten up!
gazoo – 26 jan 2011
As much as the girls pick on her, Gazoo loves it when we are home. Camille wrapped her up in a newly knitted shawl while she relaxed on the couch.
dreary day – 25 jan 2011
A rainy day was just what we needed. The girls and I took care of work and all of our homeschooling, and even crossed off a number of to-do list items as well!
chloe cooking – 24 jan 2011
Chloe loves to help out in the kitchen, chopping veggies for our soup.
I-81 – 23 jan 2011
For our drive home from Maryland yesterday, we chose to take the backroute, I-81 instead of I-95/I-85. The going is a little slower with all of the mountains, but, thankfully, there were very few trucks and the scenery was quite beautiful.
camille – 22 jan 2011
Today we spent most of the day on the farm in Maryland with our friends. Camille worked on learning to needle felt; Chloe played all day with the boys. We had a nice walk in the evening and rounded up the escaped rooster.
Photo Friday: Fort Lauderdale Wildlife
When swimming at the beach, sea life tends to make me a little nervous. Crabs nipping at my toes, little fish who like to nibble at me, jellyfish ready to sting. But what swam up to Camille last week was something I’d never have expected — manatees!! Unfortunately, she was paying attention to jumping in
sirius/xm – 21 jan 2011
Up at 6:30 after having arrived at midnight, out the door with breakfast in hand by 7:30am, Union Station by 11am. Then off to my happy place at Sirius/XM! Well worth the logistical challenge …
I85 – 20 jan 2011
Here we go flying up I-85. I hope that the snow in DC is nothing too limiting!
egg – 19 jan 2011
As part of my “birthday missions” from Absolutely Mindy, I had to carry around an egg for the rest of the day. Chloe decorated it all up for me using googly eyes.
camille – 18 jan 2011
The girls are both very happy to be back home and back to homeschooling! It had been a long time since they had done lessons that they were missing them…
cloudy – 17 jan 2011
Our last day in Fort Lauderdale was a cloudy, rainy one, but Chloe managed to sneak in some time at the pool anyway.
sunrise – 16 jan 2011
I love, love watching the sunrise at the beach! Amazing to watch the sky change every second…
