It was a drizzly, wet evening in Decatur tonight.

It started to rain during the night and continued to rain into the morning. Thankfully, we had a break in the rain to pack up and to visit the beach one last time before hitting the road to go home.

A lovely day at the beach. Walking in the sand, building castles, collecting shells. Perfect, perfect.

Phelix had his very first trip to the beach. He can’t believe that such an awesome place exists and he’s never gotten to go there before now. He’s a beach bum puppy for sure!
hometown saturday: rooftops
I love the varied heights of the roofs of the buildings around the Decatur Square. Want to share a photo from a hometown of your this week? Link up below! Please share a link back to this page in your post to spread the love!
daily photo: wall of clouds
As we wandered through our empty, brand new home, we watched the clouds blow out. No gradual thinning, just cloudy then not cloudy.

Phelix has learned a bit of elevator etiquette, but he still has a bit more to learn …. Tonight, he graduated from his puppy class!!

A lovely afternoon here in Decatur! After Chloe got home form the bus, she and I headed out to the pool deck for a few hands of Milles Bornes.
school: expressions on the ave
The fifth grade at Chloe’s school has been hard at work on a “unit of inquiry” these past few weeks. While I’m not yet convinced that the IB program at her school is helping the kids to learn better as opposed to “having something to show”, Chloe was excited to have worked on the project

Using a panoramic stitching app on my phone, here’s tonight’s sky from the pool deck. If all our ducks get aligned, this will be my nightly show from our own unit.
daily photo: catnip mouse
Phelix got to spend some time out of his pen today. He ran around like a crazy puppy, but behaved well overall. I went to take a shower and came back to see this casualty — poor catnip mouse!

Chloe’s gymnastics team came in first at the meet today! And Chloe herself placed second in her age division in one event and first in the other three events, plus came in first overall!!
daily photo: crane
After an early morning start to see the groundhog make his prediction and a frustrating time signing Camille up for high school, we then walked over to Eddie’s Attic for a concert. On the way, we gawked at the crane in the middle of our street.
hometown saturday: up in the air
Our street was closed today because the building next door was getting a new air conditioner unit. I think I was more excited than my kids to see the huge crane (for our little city) in operation! Want to share a photo from a hometown of your this week? Link up below! Please share a

Phelix the Dog enjoys his walks. I try to get him out as much as I can, but during the week when we’ve got so much going on, it is difficult!
photo friday: arabia mountain
Generally, when people think of stone outcrops in Atlanta, they think of Stone Mountain. But our favorite outcrop? Much less famous, but one of our favorite places to go, is the Davidson-Arabia Nature Preserve. While my favorite time to go is during the spring when the mountain looks like a magical wonderland, I love to
daily photo: croissants
Feeling blue today after the closing on the sale of our Pine Lake house. But these croissants that Camille baked from scratch were a tasty treat!
daily photo: fleet feet
Chloe joined the “running club” at school yesterday in order to prepare for her next race… Today, our neighbors had a “kickoff” event for the race at their running store just down the street. We walked on down, and Chloe ended up getting to help pull the names for the door prize raffle!
daily photo: white lily
Many of the flowers from last week’s bouquet have withered and died, but this lily just bloomed.
daily photo: jigsaw puzzle
Tomorrow is National Puzzle Day, and we stopped by Seventeen Steps on the way home from the bus so we could get a head start on it!
