photo friday: sweetwater creek state park
A few weeks ago, we took our new puppy, Phelix, out to Sweetwater Creek State Park. Despite having lived in Atlanta for over a decade now, I had never been to visit this lovely place! We took a nice hike on a loop that wanders along the creek and then up onto the hill. Hiking

Phelix just loves the basketball that his daddy rescued from the river. Just like Phelix — tossed out but still awesome.

After the dumpster deliveries woke us around 5:30am and went on for twenty minutes, PhelixTheDog decided that 6am was late enough, so we were out on the streets of downtown Decatur early this morning. A few other people were out, some already arriving at work. We also saw a Decatur Police Car drive by, which

This morning the clouds rolled in as Phelix and I took our first morning walk. What a strange morning sky!

It was a wild night in Decatur in many ways… Thunder and lightning, driving rain, and some big police activity requiring the judge to come in on a rainy Christmas night to sign a search warrant. Downtown was a bit busier on our “early” (Phelix let me sleep in!) morning walk. People heading to work,

Chloe is excited to have a phone of her very own !! We decided that with our not having a home phone, her walking the dog, going to gymnastics and next year’s walking to and from school, it is time for her to finally have a phone of her own.

A morning walk before the girls got up to open gifts. I was surprised by how many folks were out and about so early on Christmas morning. Another dog walk at noon, and we saw many more people out; Starbucks was even open. Phelix found himself a new toy on the square — a binky!

I think Phelix looks like he’s trying to escape this embrace …

Phelix just LOVES to roll around in the grass and get dirty all over…

Phelix, the girls and I went out shopping on the square today. Phelix found himself a very nice stick to carry around.

Welcome to Hometown Saturday! Each week, share your photos of your favorite hometown, whether it be a town where you used to live, you live now or you just dream about living in one day …. This week, my photo is from our current hometown, Decatur, GA. The girls and I took our new puppy
instagram: kisses
Tonight we had a “game night” at our condo. Phelix was quite annoyed about being stuck in his pen while we had a houseful of people having fun … We had to HOLD him for much of the night, just like a baby. And he gave us lots and lots of kisses..
photo friday: cherokee, nc
While up at the cabin for Thanksgiving, I had hoped to visit a number of historical sites. In the end, we only visited a few, but we did make it back to Cherokee, NC to visit the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. While Camille greatly enjoyed the exhibits, Chloe was only happy once we hit

I had no desire to take the time to head to Chloe’s school. But she, apologetically, asked if I could make it. So, I “put on my big girl pants” and headed down to her school. The kids in her class did some lovely presentations about the things they’ve been studying. In the end, I’m

Chloe sat down on the bench out front to wait for her friend to come. Guess who had to sit right next to her on the bench??

This planter on the square was staring right at me!

Tonight’s sunset was pretty amazing — I wish we hadn’t been on the train and could have stood still to appreciate it better!

This weekend we took down Chloe’s bunk. It is a bit of a challenge to fit everything in the girls’ room, but we somehow managed.

Phelix came with us tonight to a Christmas party in Pine Lake. I knew from years past that the kids tended to gather in the front yard to run around, so he’d have fun watching the kids play. While we kept him on the leash the whole time, he LOVED chasing after and attacking a

Phelix and Camille have taken a real liking to each other. Camille enjoys walking him and he likes to be with her. That was a surprise!
