Naturally Bright
Lots of orange up up Blue Ridge … Green is pretty too, of course…
Home Again Lickity Jig
…or however that goes. We got home this morning at 3am after a 15 cop car high speed chase (not chasing me, I promise) on I-75, rumble strip driving through the mountains in TN west of Chattanooga (due to construction on the mountain pass), and various other adventures. I woke up this morning to water
Taddy the Tadpole
Yesterday, I went out to look at the pond and notices that it was a quite active habitat. I crossed my fingers, hoping that what I saw in it was a colony of tadpoles. We have a frog that found our pond and talks to the frog next door, so it was a distinct possibility
Nature Walk
The weather looked like it would rain, so my mom and I headed out for a walk this morning. We were approached by a loose barking dog (grr) and saw lots of flowers. And made it back just before the afternoon drizzle started.
More Video from This Weekend
I had Camille take some video of Uncle Rock, and, unfortunately, it did not come out. But Sienna, Persephone’s mom and author of Hilltown Families (a fantastic, informative website), caught it…
Kill Amanda
If you’ve known me for longer than a couple of hours, you probably know that I am a huge Ralph’s World fan. We’ve been huge fans since earlier than Jan 2003 when we first heard him play at the Borders in Buckhead. Since then, we have seen him perform live many, many times in something
Springtime in Paris
Yesterday, I took some time off (hey, I am half-time and had spent three full days in meetings!) and went to l’Orangerie which has been closed for “renovations” since I first came to a French ILOG meeting(back in 2000). The museum reopened since my last trip, and I finally got to go see Monet’s masterpieces.
50 States Video
While working on a series of posts about homeschooling today, I came across this really cute video. I just had to share. Did everyone learn this song as a kid? I can get through Michigan still. Guess I need to practice. I remember learning “Io-way”, not “Io-wA”. How about you?
Blog Photos
In preparation for 2008, I renamed my Daily Photo album on Picasa to Daily Photo 2007. Apparently, Picasa renamed the directory, so many of the photos in the blog now have broken links. The Googlers surely could have come up with a better system than that! Oh well. It’s a wet morning here in Atlanta.

Camille and Chloe had some friends over to play today. The spend 4 hours outside playing their imagination game, having a great time!

Camille really enjoys riding her scooter on our walks. She took two bad falls on Tuesday, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to ride again on Wednesday. I think she’s going to need new wheels soon!

We’re studying Belize this week, and the girls made these Central American hats as part of their studies….
