photo friday: national zoo
It is rare that we make a trip to DC and skip the zoo, not even for bad weather. In the past few years, we’ve certainly been there more often than our own zoo here in Atlanta. I think Chloe’s favorite place on earth is the reptile house at the National Zoo; I can’t tell

Rob left for Mexico. I was planning to have a quiet, productive day at home, but then a lack of water pressure sent all the kids home – 12 of them came to our house. I fed, cleaned and kept up with them. Then I was tired.

A day of work, school and volunteering. I am finding that I love the rhythm of my days. No longer feeling frenetic, frantic I can do what needs to be done. Dinner was a little complicated with a fennel bulb and rapini and rice “pancakes”, but we survived.

photo friday: u.s. capitol
Since we haven’t been to the Capitol for years, not since before the opening of the new Visitor’s Center, I though we’d squeeze in a Capitol tour as well. While the same aide that got us tickets to the White House got us tickets to the Capitol, he reserved them before we knew when the

This was one of my best mornings. Everyone was gone, the house picked up and the dog walked by8. I settled right down to work, and worked all day on learning Python. When Chloe came home, we walked over to Sawicki’s to pick up our Moore Farms food box. Chloe and I then made quesadillas
