Friday night is often pizza night here at our house — and Camille makes great homemade pizzas!!
photo friday: waterworks
Last weekend, after our “birding trip” to Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, we then headed to Mason Mill Park and the Decatur Waterworks. With old crumblings walls decoratively painted with spray paint, it is a lovely “free-range” style playground for the kids. We really must go back soon and bring Pheilx the Dog with us!! This

Again, Phelix with his “bone” walking to the bus — he just loves seeing the bus coming down the street, bringing his girl back home to him!

Phelix has gotten into the habit of going to meet Chloe’s bus each afternoon. We’ve found that giving him a “bone” to chew on as he walks distracts him a bit from eating all the trash on the sidewalks….
daily photo: waiting
“Chloe the bored.” She does not idle well. Entertaining her on long flights (think ATL > Japan), long car trips or even waiting in line at the store has been a constant challenge. But this week, she rocked the long wait at the doctor. Not only did she entertain herself, she entertained me. She even
daily photo: homework
Chloe had her first homework since getting back to school after the break and had a hard time settling in to get it done. Eventually, it and all her chores were done, thankfully.

Camille made this lovely “Galette du Rois” today and promises that she found the “king” by chance!

Despite having lived within a few miles of this place for over a decade, today was the first time I’ve been to Mason Mill Park and the historic waterworks. Phelix is going to love it!

While Phelix was out on a walk this afternoon, Gazoo decided to check out his very messy pen to see if she could learn more about this noisy creature who has invaded her quiet home.
photo friday: snow in blue ridge
While we were up in Blue Ridge for our traditional New Year’s Eve celebrations, we had a bit of a surprise — SNOW! Given the warm temperatures we’ve been having, I had assumed that we would not see any white stuff in Georgia this winter. While the snow was barely more than a dusting and

There is “art” everywhere you look in Decatur …

Sigh. I was very sad to learn what this means — I was hoping that it was something positive….
daily photo: fog
The new year started out rainy and foggy and grey, not a great day for a hike or doing much outside other than taking the dog out.

The girls made this “snowman” with the snow, and this is all that is left of it …. Bye-bye snow.
Photo-A-Day 2012
I have just now posted my final photo-a-day for 2012. This past year, I posted my daily photos to 365 Project, to Picasa and to facebook…. In my 2008 daily album on picasa, I posted 202 photos. In my 2009 daily album on picasa, I posted 227 photos. In my 2010 daily album on picasa,

Today we opened Christmas gifts at the cabin. My sister gave Chloe this really pretty (and fun!) wooden Sudoku game!

I finally feel like I started my holiday break today, a week after it officially started. I spent the day getting completely caught up on a number of projects and then we did a craft project!! Ours didn’t come out as nicely as the one in this tutorial, but it did turn out pretty nice!

The new patio at the Victory Sandwich Shop is coming along. Hope they’ll be opening soon!
decatur daily: 28 dec 2012
I hear there was a lovely sunrise, but I managed to miss it despite having been out before sunrise. Bummer. Around noon, we walked down to Greene’s to use up some Christmas gift cards and to pick up our free growler bottle. I had it filled with an oatmeal stout, and then carried the heavy
