brewing storm – 28 feb 2011
The much anticipated storm rolled in hours after it was predicted to arrive. And then, while intense, was over quickly. When the retaining wall at our old house collapsed, I had worried that I would never again enjoy a storm… but, once again, I do.
spring – 27 feb 2011
Despite not feeling well, I was still able to enjoy the spring-like day a little bit …
gazoo – 26 feb 2011
Gazoo enjoyed the quite midday while the girls were gone but I was home to let her in and out as she pleased. What a life!

Today was a pleasant day. I worked but was not anxious or worried. I was relaxed. The house was picked up a bit. The girls were content. It was pizza night.

beach – 19 feb 2011
Aside from getting used to the new van, getting organized and preparing meals, we spent most of our day either in the campground or at the beach. It turned out to be a gorgeous, relaxing day. Unfortunately, Rob had to head home midday and miss out on the afternoon beach trip and Camille cooking dinner
pit stop – 18 feb 2011
It is quite rare that we take I-95 from South Carolina to North Carolina…. so Rob and I decided that while we were passing by, the kids should get the chance to stop at South of the Border at least once in their childhoods. The girls enjoyed all of the statues as well as the

Another gorgeous and productive day. Two more dentist appointments over with and lots of homeschooling done. A nice walk around town and some time at the playground.
email – 15 feb 2011
The day got away from me because of our last minute trip to Chloe’s dentist (cavity-free is she!). But I did manage to take a couple photos with my phone — Chloe had to send a quick email thanking her friends for sending her sock back to her from their house.

Th weather was gorgeous today, and the girls and I went out for a long walk around Pine Lake. It was nice to talk with neighbors, explore the wetlands and hang out at the playground until it got dark.
CD Shuffle – 12 feb 2011
This week, the girls and I have worked on sorting through our ginormous CD collection. We’ve cleaned out the car and all the other nooks and crannies in which our CDs hide. We’ve decided on which CDs to keep and which to not keep. We’ve made piles of CDs that need to be ripped into
gazoo – 11 feb 2011
Last night and this morning were hard for Gazoo as she had to spent so much energy setting up her Facebook site. You can friend her at Gazoo Butera on Facebook.
snow – 10 feb 2011
How surprised I was when I woke in the middle of the night and saw the ground covered in white! The roads were cleared, but the trees and yards were beautiful!
gazoo – 9 feb 2011
What is it with that cat? She just *has* to put herself right in the middle of whatever it is we are doing. Here she’s hijacked Camille’s homeschooling….
olives – 8 feb 2011
Tonight’s dinner included pizza dough topped with olives from New Orleans (a gift from our friends)…. Yum.
