chloe – 15 jan 2011
Chloe spent the entire day at the pool. I have the sunburnt face to prove it. At first she was bored, but then, she made friend after friend, kids and adults alike. I have no idea how she does it!
camille – 14 jan 2011
Once again, I couldn’t get the girls to a museum. It was pool, beach and (ugh) tv all day. Thankfully, mostly it was beach and pool. I even got to read half of my book while at the pool! I never want to leave. Days of work them beach and pool are my heart’s desire.
Photo Friday: Poolside in Fort Lauderdale
We managed to escape the winter craziness in Atlanta (school cancelled for FIVE days in a row) and find ourselves a in what seems like the only warm spot left, southeast Florida. The girls and I are tag-a-longs on a business trip of Rob’s here at the Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale. On our own travels,
the ritz – 13 jan 2011
We spent the day working, at the pool, on the beach and exploring the strip near the hotel. When the wind picked up in the afternoon, it was quite chilly, but that didn’t stop Chloe from getting in the (heated) pool.
ocean view – 12 jan 2011
I had resigned myself to the fact that we would likely not be getting a room with an ocean view. I had convinced myself that an intrracoastal view would be quite interesting and good enough. So, my jaw dropped when the bellman opened the door to the room and I could see off over the
snow boating – 11 jan 2011
School (Dekalb County, Georgia Tech and our own homeschool) was cancelled again today. The girls headed out to play in the snow, then came in to pack for our trip. Rob took the kayak out on the slopes. It seems Rob took some video of Chloe sledding. And I “borrowed” this photo from our very
snowy chloe – 10 jan 2011
Thanks goodness for all of the wonderful snowy weather clothes we purchased last year for our trip to Steamboat! Snowpants, long underwear, snow boots and warm, warm socks all came in quite handy today for a full day of sledding on our street!
dumbledore – 9 jan 2011
On the days when I clean out the turtle’s cage, she gets to run around the house .. though she generally heads into the deepest corner of the kitchen. The freedom is overwhelming for her, I suppose.
tiles – 8 jan 2011
Chloe loves games; all kinds of games. Her new spelling abilities have opened up a whole new range of games to her. Though she still tries to get away with non-words often.
spring, please – 7 jan 2011
Not really. I don’t mind the chilly days very much. The days *are* getting longer, thankfully. And I am looking forward to six inches of snow this weekend. But I’m also on the lookout for signs of spring. I love those first blossoms after a drab winter.
Photo Friday: Tellico River
Sunday evening, at my mom’s cabin in North Georgia, I turned on my work computer for the first time in a week. Just for the heck of it, I checked the 2011 holiday calendar. Just imagine my surprise and joy at finding out I had one more day off! Taking advantage of my reprieve, we
our house – 6 jan 2011
Jan 6 is our day to take down the Christmas decorations …. the tree is on the curb, the decorations all gathered in the laundry room to be boxed up and put away for another year. But I’m not ready to give up my white lights … they bring a smile and comfort to me
grey day – 5 jan 2011
“Texting while operating a motor vehicle” may be illegal in Georgia, but I doubt that taking photos with an SLR is… I hate the texting law — I don’t text while driving (heck, I rarely text!), but the law prohibits me from checking the traffic map while I’m stopped on the interstate — STUPID LAW!
girls – 4 jan 2011
I worked during the morning, and the girls went to town with my mom during the afternoon. I realized, as it was getting dark out, that I hadn’t taken any photos yet … Here, the girls were watching Jeopardy on my mom’s computer (via Texas)…
girls – 3 jan 2011
A bit of a wild ride along (not on) the Tellico River in TN today. Icy roads, icky restrooms, incomplete maps, closed roads, hunters. No license plates or signs for Chloe to play the alphabet game. Two coughing girls (they both feel much better, just have a bit of a cough that’s not yet ready
silly string – 2 jan 2011
I had a hard time picking a favorite photo from today. I liked a lot of the photos form the series of photos I tool at the silly string silliness, but I didn’t love any of them. I wish I had a better eye, and I wished I had gotten more photos of Camille and
gazoo – 1 jan 2011
Gazoo is quite happy that we came home from Florida and has been sitting on me as much as possible… One of my resolutions for 2011 is to get more comfortable using my external flash, so I dusted it off and used it to take this photo.
Photo Friday: Casey Key
As I’ve mentioned before, the beach is the place I dream of the most. While in Florida earlier this week, we spent a night at Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic coast. But then, we headed across Florida to the gulf coast, and, despite the chilly wind, we spent a bit of time beachcombing on Casey
Christmas!
I can hardly believe that 2010 is coming to a close .. and that Christmas has already been celebrated. But, alas, it has. Our lights and tree will stay up until the 6th, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m not at all ready to take down all of our holiday decorations! As is our family
Photo Friday: The High Museum
This week, the girls and I took advantage of our light work/homeschool/activities schedule and headed to the High Musuem of Art to see the Dali exhibit before it leaves! When Camille was little, we managed to get to the High almost weekly for the Toddler Thursday events, and we both have fond memories of our
